A grim report issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) on the just concluded Arctic Council meeting between Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and his American counterpart US Secretary of State John Kerry is warning today that President Putin has ordered Russian military forces to “immediately move” from Local War to Regional War operational status and to be “fully prepared” to expand to Large-Scale War should either the US or EU enter into the Syria Civil War.

Asia , in order to get their so-called " peace ". W. Russell

    1. The naysayers say he's French, but I'm not convinced by a long shot. Definitely, some were abandoned as did the French in their war and then there's Bobby Garwood. I remember reading of a message from a French patrol, who after realizing they were going to be abandoned, pleaded to at least drop them ammo so they could die fighting and of course they got nothing.

      You Americans Are Worse Than The French
