Russian missiles put Israel at risk: US, Germany { Hmmmm.... Scared NOW ???? }
Press TV- IRAN
US Secretary of State John Kerry and German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle say Russia’s delivery of S-300 missiles to Syria will hamper efforts at planned peace talks in Geneva and put Israel at risk.
"It is not helpful to have the S-300 transferred to the region while we are trying to organize this peace [conference] and create peace," Kerry said at a joint news conference with his German counterpart in Washington on Friday.
"We ask them again not to upset the balance within the region with respect to Israel," he said. "The weaponry that is being provided Assad whether it is an old contract or not, has a profoundly negative impact on the balance of interests and the stability of the region and it does put Israel at risk."
Westerwelle also said the Russian missiles would “endanger” the Geneva talks and put Israel’s security at risk.
The two top diplomats were referring to the joint US-Russian bid to hold an international conference on the crisis in Syria that will probably be held in mid-June in the Swiss city of Geneva.
Russia said on Tuesday that it would provide Syria with its S-300 air defense system in accordance with a previous contract. The announcement came a day after the European Union decided to end its arms embargo on Syria to lay the ground for arming militants against the Syrian government.
The warnings to Russia are made by two Western countries that provide the Israeli regime with the most advanced weaponry. In late April, Israel received its fifth Dolfin-class submarine, capable of launching missiles with nuclear warheads, from Germany.
The first two nuclear submarines were donated for free while the third was given at a 50-percent discount. Germany also paid for a third of the fourth and fifth submarines, according to International Defense News.
Berlin will also give another nuclear submarine to Israel in several years and will pay about 135 million euro of the total 600-million-euro cost of the submarine.
In March, President Barack Obama said the US would support Israel with military aid through 2017 and even beyond. This year’s agreement would increase the current aid from $2.4 to $3.1 billion every year.
Obama also said his team would work with the Congress about another $600 million over the next two years for the development of Israel’s Iron Dome missile system.

Germany's and US words are hypocritical and empty. They both look like lying fools. If they think they can make Russia look bad, it's not going to work. This is not 1980!

S300 is a defensive weapon, so why is the US/israhell so scared? And the last time I checked, the western-sponsored militants do not have an air force. So how is that threatening to them? S300 is only a threat to those who want to fly over Syria to bomb it. Syria has every right to protect itself and no one can tell them what and what not to buy!And also, the western media have been dismissing the S300 as ineffective, but if that is so, why are they still whining and crying over Syria getting these weapons? They must be pretty effective if the US is so against Syria having them.In my view, Russia should forget the S300 and pull a Cuba on the US. Deliver a handful of medium-range nuclear-tipped missiles to Syria, and man them with Russian garrisons. I guarantee before the week is out, Obummer and the EU idiots will be kissing Russia's behind for a peaceful agreement. We will see the filthy militants jumping off Syria like fleas.

Every time Israel kills unarmed, innocent civilians (because Palestine does not have formal armed forces), attack Lebanon or Syria and violates any or all international law, obedient President Obama comes out to puppet press to say "ISRAEL HAS EVERY RIGHT TO DEFEND ITSELF". This rules is exclusive to Israel and does not apply to Syria, right Mr. Obama?

Bravo Russia. Yes, the American aircraft carrier in the Middle East is a piece of junk now. Send it to the junkyard, instead of shaming your country and people like this. By the way, Westerwelle looks like having a painful period, yet is on the job for the sake of Israel.

Israel endangers itself when it attacks its neighbors indiscriminately. The missles would be used in DEFENSE.If Israel does not attack then they will be in no danger. These evil people need to go. I am beginning to think Hitler was on the right track.

The western arrogance is not only an agressive act of obscurantism but also an insult to human inteligence.Despite their illegal act in arming mercenaries and causing massacres to civilians,they still feel no shame in opposing a legitimate deal within the international legal frame.Israel is the biggest threat to not only the Middle East but to Europeans too.The western population should wake up the hijacking of their freedon,law,constitution and money by a foreign entity Israel.

This clearly proves that both the US and Germany are staunch supporters of the Zionist Jewish Apartheid state and are in no way interested to create a peaceful solution in the troubled region.

Ah Germany eh!? I didn't hear any complaints when Germany sold 5 Dolphin class submarines to Israel. At least the S-300s are defensive and not offensive systems - Another country with a 'don't do as I do, do as I say' warped attitude.
