Syrian and Turkish Border


Telegraph: Reports that over a thousand Syrian Refugees have crossed the border between Syria and Turkey as to escape the expected Syrian military assault on Syrian rebels in the town of Jisr al-Shughur. The UK and France have stated that they want a UN Resolution that is critical of Syria, but form the latest newswires it seems that Syria’s Russian Ally will veto any such resolution. Thus what can the UK, France and the US do about Syria, the answer is not a lot folks, the Syrian Regime has used the border between Syria and Israel as a flash point to divert attention from its suppression of its own people, thus if the West raises the pressure on Damascus the Syrians can send thousand even hundred of thousands to the border with Israel and cause havoc. What if hundred of thousand walk and try to cross the border with Israel and they don’t have any weapons, how much force would Israel use to keep its Sovereignty. Thus as always the Middle East is cauldron of fire that can splash when least expected and the victim might be the wrong people.
