Mr. P.,
ZATO’s strategy is to cut off Russia’s oxygen supply, not fight a war with missiles. We know that Russia has missiles that are more than good. So, as an example, the ZATO strategy is to break up the Middle East and, really, most of the Islamic world. Then there will be desperate folks with no education who can be recruited to work as mercenaries or jihadis to “liberate” Russia. For money and drugs, of course. This would also prevent the development of trains, pipelines, and roads to avoid the US’s control of the oceans. Smashing Syria and Iran would lead to Russia losing the gas leverage over Europe within ten years. Obviously, friendly politicians or business leaders will have scandals or their children will have accidents. What is the strategy to counter that? What I’m saying is put your self in the shoes of someone at the RAND corporation or such. What would your strategy be for taking down Russia and China? Now, what is your response? Missiles may not matter.
In your post, I don’t see exactly what Syria and her allies are supposed to do against missile attacks. ZATO won’t send troops, at least not until after a few genocides that send Syria back to the Stone Age. You said that you don’t think Iran would hit back. Great. So, if Russia doesn’t hit back, and Iran doesn’t hit back, what is to stop the gradual decimation of Syria?
And I disagree about Saudi Arabia. I think they are to be taken down, but it must be last. There is practically unlimited oil and gas in North America. And I’m not talking about fracking, I’m talking about the usual scam by the criminals who own the government, media, and oil companies. The bigger issue is the infrastructure to refine it or export it and still keep the prices up.
When you say Israel will be terminated, who is going to do it and how?

Speaking of delays, it took the “intelligence community” a week but they have finally come up with the smokng gun, a killer tape
FoxNews
Intercepted call reportedly clinched US claim on Syria chemical weapons strike

U.S. intelligence officials were able to confirm that chemical weapons were used in Syria last week in part because they intercepted panicked phone calls in which a Syrian defense official demanded an explanation for the attack from an official in a chemical weapons unit, according to a new report.
Obama administration officials have said it is now “undeniable” that chemical weapons were used, and claim to be practically certain that the Assad regime was behind the attack. They plan to present their evidence publicly in the coming hours and days, while claiming to await support from top allies before proceeding with any response.

The Cable at Foreign Policy, a regular State Department mouthpiece, first carried the exclusive story.

Last Wednesday, in the hours after a horrific chemical attack east of Damascus, an official at the Syrian Ministry of Defense exchanged panicked phone calls with a leader of a chemical weapons unit, demanding answers for a nerve agent strike that killed more than 1,000 people. Those conversations were overheard by U.S. intelligence services, The Cable has learned.

Earlier reports stated the tape originated with Israel intelligence.
