This is the reason why Putin and his regime are not our friends nor our trusted allies.

THIS chilling picture reveals Russia has the ability to launch nuclear missiles in Syria at a military base on the coast.
The satellite image was obtained by Israeli intelligence and shows ss-26 Iskander rockets capable of travelling a range of 350 miles.
This would mean the UK air base of RAP Akrotiri in Cyprus would be within range.
The rockets were seen on mobile launchers at a military base at Latakia on the Mediterranean coast.
According to reports the weapons seen in the photos are controlled by Russian forces operating in Syria.
On Friday Russia’s military said it had begun scaling down its deployment to Syria, with Moscow’s sole aircraft carrier set to be the first to quit the conflict zone.
