The United States suspects Russia of supplying Syria with combat helicopters that will be used against peaceful protesters, the U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said.

“We are concerned about the latest information we have that there are attack helicopters on the way from Russia to Syria, which will escalate the conflict quite dramatically,” Clinton said.

She once again said that the United States wants Russia to stop supplying Syria with all kinds of weapons.

“We have confronted the Russians about stopping their continued armed shipments to Syria. They have from time to time said that we shouldn't worry, everything they're shipping is unrelated to their actions internally. That's patently untrue,” Clinton added.

However, Capt. John Kirby, a spokesman for the Pentagon, told a daily press briefing on Tuesday that the U.S. intelligence service has no information on the type of helicopters the Syrian authorities are using against the protesters and declined to confirm that the aircraft come from Russia.

Russian President Vladmir Putin said in early June that Russia was not supplying arms to Syria which could be used against protesters.

Syria is one of Russia’s major weapons clients, and Moscow has opposed a proposal for a UN arms embargo on Damascus.

Russia has supplied Syria with Bastion coastal missile systems with Yakhont cruise missiles and Buk surface-to-air missile systems under a contract signed in 2007.

According to UN estimates, at least 9,000 people have been killed in Syria since the beginning of a popular uprising against President Bashar al-Assad in March 2011.Syrian activists say the figure is closer to 13,000.

    Good!

    Those helicopters will come in handy to end the mayhem Clinton and the rest of theNATO clowns are causing in Syria. When the NATO fascists attacked Serbia and cut out the heart of the Serb nation by stealing Kosovo, giving it to the Albanian Muslims. The big KFOR mission in Kosovo allowed muslim terrorists from Kosovo and Albania to freely pass through and into Macedonia. There they attempted to create the same scenario in the small republic of Macedonia by inciting Macedonian Albanians to join them and revolt against their own government. The whole plan of course to create a greater Albania by stealing land not only from Serbia but also from Macedonia. Thus expanding the Albanian frontier northward and helping to further fragment the Balkan Slavs. These NATO sponsored invaders were causing many problems in Macedonia. It all ended when the Ukrainians helped their Balkan Slav brothers by giving them attack helicopters. That put an end to the infiltration of foreign fighters in Macedonia.

    Fascism is not simply the domain of Hitler.

    American regimes from the inception have been expansionist and imperialists. For example the main cause of the revolutionary war with Britain was not the bullshit, "...no taxation without representation..." rather the dissatisfaction with the policies of George III of England. The passing of the Proclamation act of 1763 which forbade any settlement west of the Appalachian line (..a line down the centre of the Appalachian Mountains..) upset the greedy colonists for they had already flooded over and began to extirpate the natives. Britain wanted a gradual process of expansion with the creation of tribal lands for the dominant tribes who had helped her in the defeat of the French. The greedy, racist, future Americans were unhappy with this and hence the revolution in which they would never have succeeded without the aid of the French who in doing so bankrupt their country and led to the French Revolution 1789 some fourteen years after the American Revolution of 1776. Further example without mentioning the lands taken from Mexico is that they twice invaded Upper and Lower Canada, once during the Revolutionary War and once during the War of 1812 in North America.

    "God has given us the power and the will. We are to blame if we do not use it...!!!" Henry Clay the leader of the War Hawk party of 1812. He and John C. Calhoun formulated the policy of "Manifest Destiny" ...The destiny of the U.S. to rule the world...!!!

    After the end of WW II the U.S. under the fascist and Nazi sympathizer Truman and his regime completely subverted and changed the policies of the Great FDR (Roosevelt) importing many thousands of Eastern European German Nazis and collaborators who fled the Red onslaught, Poles, Ukrainians, Lithuanians, Estonians, Latvians, Hungarians, Romanians, Croatians...etc. etc. etc.. Many german scientists and covert operatives working for the U.S. against Russia. (Dig up and read the Odessa Files). These fascist greatly impacted the foreign policy of the U.S. which led to the witch hunts of the McCarthy era and created a Rusophobia which is still being exploited to this day by blood stained 'bitches' like Hitlery Clinton and the rest such as G.W. Bush. Bush's grandfather Herbert was an open supporter of Hitler till it became unfashionable with the entrance of the U.S. into the war by FDR.

    Since the ultra rat fascist Reagan U.S. foreign policy has further degenerated, being led by monsters pandering to American Zionists.

    No other modern major power can even come close to the record of the U.S. in interference, manipulation, subversion and invasion of sovereign states.

    Simply Google 'American Intervention'.....And hold your breath...

      ...Bush grandfather was also involved in the creation and consolidation of the Bolshevik Revolution...and there was nothing great about Roosevelt, he was involved in the "gang" too. You still live inside the "Hegelian-dialectic", inside the "left vs right" "Capitalism vs Communism", etc, etc.

      "Wall Street and FDR"
      "Wall Street and the Bolshevik Revolution"
      "Wall Street and the Rise of Hitler"
      "Best Enemies Money can Buy"
      "America's

      All books by Antony Sutton, all available free online. But start with his 1980 interview on youtube called "best enemies money can buy".

      What i'm stating here is well known by all governments and top circles of power in the World by now.
