I've Been Thinking:

Bashar Assad's trip to Russia has created some international ripples.

Ripple # 1: Assad offered to let Russia establish a missile base in Syria in order to counter balance the gesture made by the Poles permitting US missile in Poland.

Ripple # 2: Syria intends to purchase more Russian-made, medium range, surface-to-air missiles, and new MIG fighter jets to use as protection from Israel.

Ripple # 3: Syria supported Russia against Georgia. The only other state that publicly supported Russia on this was Belarus.

Israel is watching this entire meeting and monitoring the results very carefully - but very quietly.
The United States could not keep quiet.
The US has said that Syria should not "meddle" in Russia/Georgia affairs.
