New York Times: Russian Moves in Syria Pose Concerns for U.S.
WASHINGTON — Russia has sent a military advance team to Syria and is taking other steps the United States fears may signal that President Vladimir V. Putin is planning to vastly expand his military support for President Bashar al-Assad of Syria, administration officials said Friday.
The Russian moves, including the recent transport of prefabricated housing units for hundreds of people to a Syrian airfield and the delivery of a portable air traffic control station there, are another complicating factor in Secretary of State John Kerry’s repeated efforts to enlist Mr. Putin’s support for a diplomatic solution to the bloody conflict in Syria.
The Russians have also filed military overflight requests with neighboring countries through September.
WNU editor: The U.S. and Russia have never been on the same page when it comes to Syria. But this shift in Russian policy is new .... and it tells me that Moscow has made a decision to not only become more involved in the region, but to ignore the U.S. protests.
