Western naval sources reported Friday that a Chinese landing craft, the Jinggangshan, with a 1,000-strong marine battalion had reached the Red Sea en route for the Mediterranean off Syria. According to DEBKAfile, Beijing has already deployed a number of warships opposite Syria in secret. If the latest report is confirmed, this will be the largest Chinese deployment in the Middle East in its naval history.

Yeah, maybe someone could write a book about what’s happening. :)
The last time China went to war was when they invaded Vietnam in 1979, and the Vietnamese kicked their a$$.
Some people here at FR are claiming this is all about Russia and the Gulf States trying to sell natural gas to Europe.
Why would the Chinese get involved in that?
A pipeline to a Syrian port would probably cut some expense, but they’d still have to load it on a ship to go across the Mediterranean.
And why would Assad not want a natural gas pipeline running through his country and natural gas being loaded at his port? He would get a cut.
Russian, Chinese, American and British ships. Opposite sides in the battle on the ground.
What could go wrong?
would obummer go to war to protect ISIS and Muslim Brotherhood?
dont know.
LOL!
This one I can believe. China, Russia, and Iran are working together in Syria.
Tass and RT have confirmed this.
Yeah, not that I trust the MSM. I’ve just seen the Debka chain yanked often since 1999. I can remember when Cliff Ford on Hal Lindsey’s show kept making a big deal on it.
Of course, back then, you still kinda had some news. Now, all we have in America is Soviet-style agit-prop and the DNC-mouthpieces.
Oy
good one
I think we need to take a moment and thank all the Free Traitors™ for building up Chinese industries and strengthening their Navy.
I don’t think it’s “irresponsibility and neglect “ I think the ‘powers that be’ have decided the US should retreat from the Mideast. The savings in military cost to be diverted to our welfare state and debt payments.
This chart is two years old! I think most of the American navy is north in the Baltic now.
Ya gotta have the Tribulation first with the Antichrist and the False Prophet selling the Mark of the Beast.
That being said, I think we’re getting pretty dang close to Ezekiel 38. That particular chapter can happen before the Tribulation, IMHO.
But yes, the location so close to the mountains of Israel (Ezekiel 38) and the Valley of Megiddo isn’t lost on me either. It is striking.
Ezekiel 38:8 After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, -—against the mountains of Israel-—, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them.
Don’t worry, Obozo will order our ships to run away.
Saudi Arabia along Turkey, Qatar and other Gulf States initially wanted the Gas Pipeline that goes through Syria.
Looks like that is not going to happen. Russia is building a major forward operating base in Syria, and will probably go into Iraq for the Oil. They could care less about ISIS, but that is the excuse.
As for why China is involved is because they are in Africa, and like Russia they want the Oil too.
Finally Iran, Russia and China all want us out of the Middle East IMO. They are going to take the oil in Iraq too.
This is more about Russia wanting access to a friendly port in the Med. where else are they going to go?
No mention of the aircraft carrier in port that they made up a couple of days ago? There were supposed to be 1000 marines in that report, too.
The poor adjective “selling” was meant to stand for “forcing”.
Here is that article about the Chinese Aircraft Carrier.
Oops, verb - more caffeine!
You’re thinking that Syria isn’t the final objective?
Russia and China want Iraq?
That’s pretty ballsy.
If they come out of Syria, I think Obama should parachute into Iraq to stop them.
He could rip into those T-90s with his pen and telephone.
He should take the entire Democrat Party with him.
