NATO's defense missile systems were deployed at the border of Syria-Turkey

.
NATO has deployed its missile systems to defend against possible attacks at Syrian-Turkey border. According to Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu, he said "Turkish armed forces will retaliate against threats coming from Syria in case Western allies wage a military action against Syrian government".
However, U.S's ally United Kingdom decided not to take action against Syria because its parliament voted against any possible military action which was proposed by Prime Minister David Cameron. Although U.K rejected the proposal of military intervention in Syria, U.S administration is willing to take unilateral action but in limited. French President François Hollande said "France is still ready to take part in attacks on Syria, despite the British parliament's vote against participation ". Without participating from U.K, it seems to be hard for U.S to take action unilaterally or even with France.Actually, Besides deploying Defense missile systems at border of Syria and Turkey, U.S has sent its fifth Destroyer known as USS Stout to Mediterranean sea to closer Syria while Russia has deployed its two powerful warships to help defend its ally,Syria from unexpected Western airstrikes. Currently,Russia has based 16 warships in the Mediterranean, as well as ship-based helicopter units. Western strikes or intervention is still unclear for Syria, and I would say the deployment of power warships or missile systems is just to show off their muscles and military power in order to threat Syrian government to stop using Chemical weapons.
