this should be fun...

protect its citizens...rofl

Russia has announced it is readying two warships to sail to Syria to protect Russian citizens, in a sign that it is taking precautions against a worsening of the security situation there.

A spokesman for Russia’s Black Sea fleet, Vyacheslav Trukhachev, told Russia’s Interfax news agency the mission would be undertaken “in case of necessity”. His comments appeared designed to clarify speculation that warships had already set sail for Syria. Interfax had earlier quoted an anonymous official as saying that was the case on Monday morning.

I can't see where it matters too much which group of despots to support. The present govt. or the rebels. They both seem to be equally cruel. I am certain that whether the faction Russia supports comes out on top or whether the Rebels come out on top, that cruelty to the population will still prevail and be the norm.
