Anthony Gucciardi<\/strong> As the world reacts to the Trayvon Martin case, including prominent rappers\u00a0calling out the media<\/a>\u00a0over its race baiting, reports detail around 160,000 Russian troops were called to \u2018combat readiness\u2019\u00a0following an Israeli strike on Russian-made missiles in Syria.<\/p>\n Is the nation too distracted by the George Zimmerman trial\u2019s 24\/7 news cycle to even know about this developing situation that coincides with escalating tensions between Russia and US-affiliated nations around the world?<\/p>\n First up is the new revelation that Israel was behind an attack on Syria that targeted Russian-made anti-ship missiles. According to the\u00a0Israeli National News<\/a>\u00a0sources within the U.S.,\u00a0Israel recently launched an attack on Russian missiles<\/strong>\u00a0that were apparently sold to Syria and stationed at a critical point within the country. Until now, it was unknown who\u00a0had initiated<\/a>\u00a0the bombing that had rocked\u00a0Latakia on July 5th.<\/p>\n Ultimately bombing the \u2018critical point\u2019 holding the Russian\u2019s Yakhont anti-ship missile, Israel is believed to have initiated the bombing via aircraft or a ship in the Mediterranean. According to the anonymous U.S. official who corresponded with CNN:<\/p>\n \u201cThis attack was either by air raid or long-range missiles fired from boats in the Mediterranean.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Now enter new reports surfacing from the\u00a0Russian Defense Ministry on orders of Vladimir Putin that the largest military \u2018state of full combat readiness\u2019 drill is taking place with around 160,000 troops ordered to report from all corners of the military. Specifically, the translated reports detail how Putin is calling together not just Armed Forces of\u00a0Russia\u00a0troops, but all forms of long-range aircraft, 70 naval ships, bomber and fighter aircraft, and so on.<\/p>\n According to a syndicated Russian\u00a0announcement<\/a>:<\/p>\n \u201cOn Friday, during a meeting with Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu Russian, Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered an unexpected military drill, urging all forces to enter a state of full combat readiness on the night of July 13.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n In other words, these reports says that Putin is essentially assembling the entire military in the largest such event since the Soviet Union. This is coming in from the Russian language version of\u00a0Forbes<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0other Russian sources<\/a>\u00a0translated to English.<\/p>\n Is this massive \u2018state of full combat readiness\u2019 initiated on July 13th just a training exercise with no further intention, or is it related to to the attack by Israel on Russian-made missiles in Syria? Whether this is truly the initiation of a massive conflict between world powers or not, it\u2019s certainly worth the attention of the media and general public. While it does take a lot of digging to sort through all of these Russian language announcements and get to the bottom of the story, it\u2019s much more important than what George Zimmerman\u2019s lawyers ate for breakfast this morning.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
