That's only an small part of the reason. The main reason why US targeted and started the process of regime change in Syria is because Asad rejected allowing a gas pipeline from Qatar to Europe to go through Syrian territory, which by the way, Asad did that in order to protects the Russian gas / oil exports to Europe which are vital to the Russian economy. The Qatar pipeline would allowed Europe to not depend on Russian oil and gas and that's a very important American strategic interest. Right after that, USA put Syria in its crosshairs and the CIA started to create and finance an opposition in Syria, color revolution style. The rest is history.
Interesting. Haven't known it before. That proves how risky it is if going against a superpower.

Yeah, the thing in Syria, same as the thing in Ukraine, in the end is all about strangling and cornering Russia. That's why the Russians had no choice but to intervene in Syria.

Muammar Gaddafi and Saddam Hussein were killed because they tried to gain more independence from US influence and actually making more benefits for their people.

We all know how their efforts turned out.

Well, is Uncle Sam not a modern charity man that gives gifts to poor children? :D

The Americans have interest in Syria because the country hosts Tartus as the sole Russia naval base outside the former Soviet Union. The other semi permanent one is Camranh bay. Destroying the naval base means weakening Russia military power. besides it benefits the turkey. Why Turkey? Because it is the only Muslim country in the world that has a respected conventional army. The other is nuclear armed Pakistan. The rest, from poor Indonesia to rich Saudi Arabia is negligible. Look, how the Arab armies performed against Israel. Terrible is an understatement.
dirty poor vietcong said we're muslim country :sarcastic: and compared us with those arabs :sarcastic:

And I just leave a quote here ~,~

Indonesia is constitutionally a secular state (but the government officially recognises only six formal religions), with Islam being the dominant religion in the country. Indonesia also has a larger Muslim population than any other country in the world, with approximately 202.9 million identifying themselves as Muslim (87.2% of Indonesia's total population in 2011)

Obviously the Aussie has better aircraft and naval vessels. What's your concern?

Their homepage (qpvn.vn) provides full news coverage and documentaries. But sometimes the documentaries on TV channel are not shown on their website, which is a shame. There were instances when you can watched two Su-30MK2V performs simultaneous barrel roll on TV and that was not displayed on the website at all.

Or ComCom channel for a shorter and often more epic video collection :p::p:

The report mentioned "improving", "modernized" and "self-producing" while focusing to the Kh-35U(V) and BM-21M1.


Not sure if this was intentional or just a simple coincidence.
