1. Does this come as a surprise?
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (08.08.12)
It shouldn't. Russia (and before that, the Soviet Union) has had its muddy trotters in Syria for a long time. Israel shot down 82 Syrian MiGs in 1982. Well over one-half of the dead pilots were found to be Soviet. Which is why Israel finds it a little difficult to take a so-called Russian military threat seriously. We remember the great turkey shoot in 1982, and we see just how poorly the Russians are acquitting themselves in Chechnya. We also remember the fiasco that was Afghanistan and the Iraqi "top-of-the-line SCUDs" that couldn't hit the broad side of a barn. Russia's a lightweight. The facts more than prove this.
2. Not a wise move.Historically Russian response is totally
PETRR SM ,   MELBOURNE AUSTRALIA   (08.08.12)
ruthless. They flattened the whole city of Grozny. fighting Chechnya, barely a sound from the usual hypocrites masquerading as humanitarians when it suits their agendas. Ditto for Daddy Assad in Homa,Pol Pot etc etc
3. a victory
israel israeli ,   tel aviv   (08.08.12)
This is a victory for Obama who managed to assasinate a Russian general. What is surprising is that Russian special forces in Syria are seemingly so ineffective against CIA and US special forces. Putin must be livid.
4. Russia is playing a dangerous game...
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (08.08.12)
If the Russian people allow their idiotic leaders to take them down the wrong path, then we have no choice but to turn Moscow into glowing cinder. Through out history, great armies have failed to conquer Russia, but I assure you that the results will be different when our IDF goes into action.
5. Let this be a warning to Russia...
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (08.08.12)
Mind your own business otherwise we will have no choice but... to turn your miserable existence into glowing cinder...
6. Bravo Russia !
Iranian H   (08.08.12)
Now let me makes myself clear, i am not PRO Russia when it comes to it's blatant anti Israel stance. But i KNOW Russia have history of helping Israel whether israelis likes it or not. They really do, and it's not well informed because of the current Russia stance. Keep killing MB rebels Russia, we support YOU ! And to MB, keep killing the shabiha ! we support YOU ! Now, WHERE IS MY POPCORN
7. What is Russia doing in Syria ?
Iranian H   (08.08.12)
Now i can understand it is exciting time for war tourism and for warfare combat fans to watch the Real 3D experience in Syria, but seriously...... Russia should focus on building Russia instead of empowering the shia Iran, Syria, Hezbollah. Is it possible that Russia wants Iran to nuke Saudi Arabia ? Naughty Russia !
8. #5 warning from American jewish to Russia :)
Sajjad ,   karachi pakistan   (08.08.12)

11. # 5
Marilyn ,   London   (08.08.12)
Yeah right - why not just take on the whole world and have done with it? You're stark raving mad woman.
12. It is a Disgrace that the USA is not helping the rebels.
naro ,   nyc   (08.08.12)
When Iran and Syria is helping Assad and the USA is not helping the rebels is a disgrace. Obama should demand an immediate Iranian and Russian withdrawal from Syria or America would arm the rebels heavily.
13. Obviously #1, 4 and 5 are Fake Sarah!
Eric ,   Toronto   (08.08.12)
Sarah would never write such nonsense!
14. Much exaggerated
Sherlock Holmes ,   London UK   (08.08.12)
Reports of his death have been much exaggerated -- or premature. He may be the last to be told. That's how it is in Russia!
15. #13 Eric
Avi ,   Israel   (08.08.12)
What do you know about Sarah? She is the definition if stupidity. I believe that these are her posts because if you ever dare disagree with her she would want to turn you into glowing cinder. Its not the first time and wont be the last that she wants to nuke some place...
16. The man is alive...

He appeared on Hezbollah TV making fun of tabloid Journalism practiced by Ynet...
