What could it possibly mean? Russia ain't got no borders with Syria!Quote:
British officials insisted that in private Putin had declared no personal allegiance to Assad, but needed assurances that Syria would not turn into an ungoverned space on Russia's borders if he were removed.
I guess it means just close to borders as it is not "at the border" but "on the border"
I’m not an insider, but I guess some of Syria’s neighbors might have decided to enter the Commonwelth of Independent States or even join Russia. Who knows…. How's it a problem, btw?Quote:

Ok, let's go with this explanation, probably you are right.Quote:

2. Because it's kind of a set expression "ain't got no/nothing".
3. I should probably avoid using this sort of redneck language, but I use it sometimes just for kicks. :)
