Without the US Navy to keep them contained, the Chinese are well on their way to having a blue-water naval force. Unlike Russia, they have year-round warm water home ports and a growing industrial might to support the expansion of their naval capabilities.

The Sixth Fleet is just cruising back and forth, their hands effectively tied. The Current Occupant now squatting in the White, er, “Rainbow” Hut did not invent dithering, but he has raised it to an art form.

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! .......that is still a big win for obama. Destroying our reputation and having USA no longer the world power.

No. I held my nose and pulled the handle, just as I’d been doing all my life. Pulling the handle while holding my nose, for lousy stinking big monied, connected, bought-and-paid-for candidates.

The reported escort ship is a guided missile destroyer with nearly identical radar array as US destroyers - stolen tech.

They look a bit more like this:

The U.S. Navy will probably have a difficult time containing this threat!

The way your boy king is going though your military is being gutted and turned into a left wing social experiment more interested in funding gender operations and forcing gay leaders, so might not be long before you can't even contain a Chinese junk...

Here's another report on what the Russians are doing in Syria - this report is from Pravda as this post is from Tass - neither are affiliated with Debka.

Russian Army starts destroying Islamic State in Syria

From the article: Russia has deployed modern weapons, including air defense, missile systems and aviation, having turned the area of ​​the Russian base into a strong fortress.

The militants, who had been keeping the city under control and destroying priceless ancient monuments for months, are being killed in the air raids of the Syrian Air Force. During the most recent attack, 40 terrorists were destroyed in the province of Homs," Zvezda reporters say. It was also said that many militants of the Islamic State lay down their arms and surrender.

Snip

The militants were said to be mercenaries from Iran, Turkey and Sudan. They received weapons from Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Lebanon. There are also many US-made weapons and heavy equipment, reporters say

Snip

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov also wonders why the USA does not destroy ISIS, even though the US knows everything about the whereabouts of ISIS bases.

Snip

Over the past few weeks, a large number of military advisers have arrived in Syria. Syria has received six MiG-31 jets - these are the best interceptor aircraft in the world. For the first time, the Russian army has provided satellite intelligence data to Syria. Previously, Jihadists managed to avoid attacks from government forces because NATO was providing them with satellite information on time. Now, it appears that NATO no longer shares the intelligence data with the Islamic State, although the alliance still continues providing this information to Frente al Nosra, Russian publications said.

Or, as a few high-ranking Russians have supposedly been calling them recently, “Obama’s Terrorists”.

“We should not have opposed Assad, our failures there led to the rise of ISIS.”

Sorry to have to correct you, but it should read: Obama’s plans led t the rise of ISIS.
