RUSSIA DENIES SENDING TROOPS TO SYRIA

It certainly would be "a bomb" if Russia had sent troops to Syria.

But why would they? al Assad has just kicked al Qaeda butt in Homs and Idlib. There is really no need for Russia to send troops to Syria.

But such a story would help the Anglo-American Empire in their struggle to get boots on the ground in some capacity, even if it just "humanitarian" at first.
