This is a sample from an article from Rossiiskaya Gazeta titled Обама перешел границу: Президент США готов объявить войну Сирии (Obama Has Crossed the Border: The U.S. president is ready to declare war against Syria). It was published Aug. 22, 2012. My translation of this article was the feature article for WatchingAmerica.com on Aug. 27, 2012.

Target Text
|
Россия не сможет помешать США объявить войну Сирии, если президент Барак Обама примет такое решение. В этом случае механизмы Совета Безопасности ООН, как, впрочем, и других международных площадок, окажутся бессильными.
|
Russia will not be able to prevent the U.S. from declaring war against Syria unless President Barack Obama embraces that decision. In this case, the mechanisms of the UN Security Council, as other international platforms, will be powerless.
|
Нет сомнений в том, что Вашингтон детально прорабатывает возможность военного вторжения в Сирию.
|
There is no doubt that Washington is meticulously working through the possibility of a military invasion into Syria.
|
На этот счет глава Белого дома высказался предельно ясно. Во вторник он назвал условия, при которых Америка начнет боевые действия против Дамаска. Не важно, какими они будут - на земле, в воздухе или же речь идет о точечных операциях специальных сил. Важно другое: Обама впервые озвучил, когда начнется война. И подтвердил, что не станет ждать разрешающих резолюций Совета Безопасности ООН, если решит применить силу.
|
The head of the White House is extremely clear on this point. On Tuesday, he announced the terms whereby America would begin military operations against Damascus. It is not important what kind they will be — by land, air, or if this is pointing to specific operations by special forces. What is important is that Obama said for the first time when the war will begin and confirmed that he will not wait for the enabling resolution of the UN Security Council if he decides to use force.
|
В каком случае Нобелевский лауреат премии мира (Обама получил премию за 2009 год. - От ред.) готов бомбить сирийские города? Это, по словам главы американского государства, произойдет, если Вашингтон обнаружит факты передислокации или использования химического и другого оружия массового поражения сирийскими военными. "Мы не можем допустить, чтобы такое оружие попало не в те руки", - пояснил свою позицию американский лидер.
|
In what situation will the recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize (Obama won the prize in 2009) be prepared to bomb Syrian cities? This, by the words of the leader of the American government, will happen if Washington finds out information about the Syrian military relocating or using chemical or other weapons of mass destruction.
“We cannot have a situation where chemical or biological weapons are falling into the hands of the wrong people,” said the American leader clarifying his position.
