Speaking of
hot heads, Russia will
not supply the Syrian dictator with an advanced anti-missile system, S-300, until the third quarter of 2014 under a 2010 contract
according to Kommersant Daily. The respected mobile system is capable of shooting down aircraft or missiles, and its potential entry into the war has alarmed Israel. If operated correctly it could counteract the threat of western air strikes against a regime that is showing remarkable resilience in the civil war. On Wednesday the director of MiG said his company would
deliver Syria six MiG-29 MM2. A Syrian delegation was in Moscow to refine the details of that delivery this week. The Assad regime is now reinforced by Israel's sworn enemy, the Hezbollah organization. European Union has
dropped an arms embargo agianst Syria, so France and Great Britain can ship arms to the rebels. The US called Russia's decision to provide the mobile missile system
"a mistake". After talks with Secretary of State John Kerry, the Kremlin has succeeded in convincing its satrap to engage in peace talks in Geneva, but the talks will be postponed amid heavy fighting in Syria. French journalists
observed the use of unidentified gas attacks against rebel fighters in the Damascus region. The UN estimates 80,000 have died in Syria's civil war to date.
