DEBKA is reporting that the Chinese Aircraft Carrier Liaoning and a Guided Missile Cruiser arrived off of Tartus this morning, but so far, it is unconfirmed.
There were Twitter reports of Chinese Navy ships entering the Suez on the 23rd.
What could possibly go wrong?
Interesting if true. Isn’t the prez of China at WH now?
The DEBKA report.
It’s DEBKA, so take it with a grain of salt.
Interesting if true. Isn’t the prez of China at WH now?”
Both Xi and Putin will be addressing the U.N. this week.
this administration is monica lewinski, and every other country on the globe is spunking on our dress.
Damn near everything as far as the USA interests are concerned. What did Obama promise the ChiComs yesterday?
Yes, I should have recognized the timing. Been chatting with others elsewhere. Wow. Nice catch.
“DEBKA is reporting that the Chinese Aircraft Carrier Liaoning and a Guided Missile Cruiser arrived off of Tartus this morning, but so far, it is unconfirmed.”
China has exactly one carrier. It’s big. It has never done a medcruise before. It either had to go through the Suez canal, or the Straits of Gibraltar. Its a little odd that Debka and only Debka is reporting this. This really shouldn’t be a big mystery to confirm.
Would all this be happening if Hussein, Mubarak, and Quadaffi (sp?)were still around?
My guess is no.
I don’t disagree with you, it is DEBKA after all, but Syria offers a BIG opportunity for the Chines Military right now.
What better place for the Chinese to practice and learn Combat Carrier Operations than Syria right now?
Take small steps, launch and recover strikes, get flying and combat time for the pilots.
They get a chance to make the mistakes in an almost controlled environment, that we had to learn the hard way in a full-scale World War.
Interesting. i wonder what obama promised China this week? I read it is a cyber security deal. I also read it wouldn’t be available for public consumption. It will have to remain a secret.
Gee I might have to watch if I can what Putin and Xi say at UN. Putin for sure.
Remember that God is still in control
Pretty sure we are seeing the stage being set for the Gog Magog war .
You can bet China does not want to ISIS running into their country no more than Russia does
The U.S. Navy will probably have a difficult time containing this threat!
We made the situation is Syria so unbearable that the worlds greatest powers are now going to Syria to clean up our mess. We should not have opposed Assad, our failures there led to the rise of ISIS.
‘m not sure exactly what I said that you disagree with.
fact: China has exactly one carrier. It’s big.
fact: It has never done a medcruise before since the Soviet era.
fact: It either had to go through the Suez canal, or the Straits of Gibraltar. (who missed a large carrier passing through those two chokepoints? Not one solid observation?)
That takes me to my conclusion that its a little odd that Debka and only Debka is reporting this. This really shouldn’t be a big mystery to confirm.
Either a Chinese one of a kind carrier is there, or it isn’t.
Oh wait, reading is fundamental. You said you DON’T disagree.
Ill be amazed if the Chinese slipped a carrier there with nobody noticing!
I always do. That being said, if the sole source is Debka, then it might not have been worth a ping at all.
Obama probably did more listening than talking as the ChiComs told him how things were going to be from now on..............
Seems to me the Russians, Chicoms and Iran have things well under control. It's their playground now, so Obama & Kerry can go back home and pound sand!
