US equities and the dollar are selling off on the announcement by Russian President Vladimir Putin that Russia will assist Syria if strikes against Syria are launched.

Putin has said that Russia is already assisting Syria with arms shipments.

USDJPY hit hard as US Treasury bonds rallying again (yields lower) on Russia rhetoric. Wow.
