Drumbeats of War - Russia Comes Down Hard on Syrian Side

Russia has made several moves to warn the United States that they will honor their commitments of mutual defense they made in the Caspian Sea littoral nations pact signed about three years ago.

You say that Syria is not a nation that borders the Caspian Sea? Quite right. But Iran is. And Russia is. And those two nations do have a mutual defense agreement. And Iran and Syria have a mutual defense agreement.

Syria and Iran are conjoined like Siamese twins. If anyone doubted that, the present actions of the Russians should prove the error of their doubts. This blog has often said,’ Iran… and by extension Syria’. Those nations are homeboys together. And now Russia has plainly shown that all three nations are in the same ‘hood.

"Russia had close ties to Libya, and has very close ties with Syria and Iran, including a mutual defense agreement with Iran"
------------------------------

Neither did I.

I had no idea that Iran,.. and of all places,...Russia. Had a "mutual defense pact".

This sounds like Article 5.

As in NATO,................."An attack on one,...is an attack on all of us".

So if this really does exist, please provide Links. Because this is very serious.

This is about as close as I can come to a treaty:

Neither side says much about who will do what and when and if.
