It is obvious who is more belligerent. Obama accused Assad of crushing peaceful protestors. That is such a lame accusation, considering the acts of aggression and destabilization efforts committed by the US.

The SA-15s or Sa-22s are there for self protection in case someone "mistaken" Russian troops and airfield as ISIS troops and drop some bombs on them. The anti-air missiles are there just in case something like the Chinese embassy bombing in Serbia is happening again.
Who knows someone might still using old maps in Syria too.

guess this interpretation would be incorrect.

if russia deploys s-3 or 400s to latakia, i'll bet there'll be no jingoistic cowboy strikes against that installation.
Of course France was one of the countries that liberated the Libyans from having a functioning state and thinks the Syrians should also be better off without a state.

what the hell was i thinking?
actually, germany is the only european country whose leadership is seeking middle ground. let's hope this continues.
Like you said a UN mandate is highly unlikely even though it would be a good idea. However I actually think there is a higher chance that China will have some sort of military intervention against ISIS, however I doubt it'll be as large as Russia's intervention. And plus this is a rather good opportunity for China to finally gain some much needed experience for its military since I'm pretty sure anyone will welcome another major country who wants to destroy ISIS.
