LOTS of chatter this morning that the Chinese are joining the Russians in going after ISIS, in a big way.

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.

The DEBKA report.
It’s DEBKA, so take it with a grain of salt.

“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.

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.

Keeps getting better by the day. The Nobel Peace Prize grifter just may end up starting a new World War.

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.
