Lavrov: Russia will honor its S-300 missile contract with Damascus. Two Russian warships head for Syria
debkafile‘s military sources report that the pretext offered by Moscow for sending the force thinly disguised Russian President Vladimir Putin’s intent to flex Russian military muscle in response to the delivery of Western heavy arms to Syrian rebels – which debkafile first revealed Tuesday, June 18.
Putin was giving the West due warning that if they persisted in arming the rebels any further, a Russian troop landing in Syria would take place in the guise of an operation to evacuate endangered Russian nationals.
Some 20,000 Russians live in Syria. In former stages of the conflict, they were given the locations of assembly points should Moscow decide to lift them out of the war-torn country. The evacuation of Russian citizens would in itself dramatically denote the expansion of the Syrian conflict.
The Russian Interfax news agency identified the warships heading for Syrian shores as the Nikolai Filchenkov Large Landing Ship and the Vice Admiral Kulakov, a Udaloy 1 class destroyer, each carrying 300 marines. Aboard the former are also 20 tanks and 15 armored troop carriers or military trucks, while the Kulakov is designed mainly for anti-submarine warfare.
debkafile‘s military sources also reveal that, although Moscow described the warships are preparing to depart for Syria, they have actually been cruising in the Mediterranean since mid-May. Upon receiving their orders, they could reach Syria in just a few hours.
Maj.-Gen. Gradusov was quoted as saying: “We won’t abandon the Russians and will evacuate them from the conflict zone, if necessary.”
Asked if the Russian aircraft were intended as air cover for the Russian warships coming to Syria, he declined to answer, saying said only “They will act on orders.”
The Moscow communiqué does not say when the Russian forces are scheduled to reach port in Syria or in which part of the country they are to operate. Our military sources say their impending presence in the war zone and the possibility of Western-supplied weapons in Syrian rebel hands causing Russian casualties are enough to contribute three more perilous dimensions to the Syrian conflict:
1. The harming of Russian soldiers would give Moscow an excuse to pile on more military reinforcements in Syria;
2. Russian air power is on its way to Syrian airspace before any decision is taken in the West about imposing a US-led no-fly zone over Syria;
3. The presence of Russian military personnel in Syria would pour more fuel on the already highly incendiary diplomatic and military tensions between Washington and Moscow over this conflict.

Israel PM Benjamin Netanyahu told Russian president Putin not to send Assad those S-300 missles. Israel’s red line is being crossed.
It seems like Isaiah 17:1-14 will soon take place exactly the situation like the prophet Isaiah revealed.

Mass evacuation of different national institutions in Poland. Apparently thousands are now in the streets after a nationwide bomb threat was sent.

I am afraid so. This is what the Polish right parties have saying for years and some UK MPS too. The other thing that comes to mind is the notion that you can seriously damage country’s interests even by staging rush hour car accidents in carefully selected places over a long time. Today, whatever happened in Poland could have been a test run for bigger ops when need arises. If not, the evident poor coordination and high confusion of Polish authorities will not go unnoticed.

Here’s a little bit in english. http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/europe/hundreds-evacuated-from-hospitals-offices-in-poland-after-false-e-mailed-bomb-threats/2013/06/25/465e0e4e-dd92-11e2-bc84-8049224b33e1_story.html
Polish media are abuzz with info about this story. It is becoming clear that up to 5k people have been evacuated from hospitals, courts, police stations, and schools across the country.
THIS obviously involved enourmous resources and manpower (emergency services).
The police are saying the emails with bomb threats have been sent from foreign servers.
I wonder if this is how easy it can be. Just send hundreds of emails, post letters, txt messages, and phone calls threatening to blow up some country’s vital institutions and you get utter chaos.
