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.

Aye, wish there was someone besides Debka on this.

Wasn’t it Tass the other day? Don’t know if they have much more reliability than Russia Today.

No offense.

See post #2

They have been correct, but a far ahead of the Establishment media reporting it.

Mark Levine just said that a bi-partisan foreign policy objective for decades was to keep Russia out of the Middle East, and Obama has opened the gates for good.

"The two sides [China and Russia] shall, in the spirit of partnership, strive to promote the multipolarization of the world and the establishment of a new international order."

Yeah, looking at it. They seem to be quoting Debka.

Hmmm. Thanks.

Yep Russia and China are about to have a beach head in the Middle East.

Thanks to the Administration not being serious about going after ISIS.

I thought the Russians had docked a submarine with nuclear missiles in Syria?

Wow! Obama really did deserve the Nobel Peace Prize. Who knew, that after all these decades, Obama the peacemaker managed to unite the Chinese and Russians.

“Aye, wish there was someone besides Debka on this”

Yeah especially since Western “Sources” reported it, yet no Western Media are.

Yeah but it was Debka that said the same thing about the Russians a month ago.

They were correct when everyone else was doubting it.

Honestly, I don’t understand why people wait for the MSM to admit it.

Here is the bottom line. If this is happening, just like the Russians going into Syria, then we will know about it soon enough.

I heard Mark Levin and Michael Savage both talking about it today.

I’m glad Armageddon is miles from Syria, otherwise this would kind of look like all the world’s super powers lining up for one final massive showdown.

Well, it looks like it on that map, but the Med is a lot bigger in real life!

And the Nimitz, while big, is not half the length of Cyprus!

I have no idea if this is true, but it’s certainly true that Russia is establishing itself as a major influence in the Mideast again. Nature and geopolitics abhor a vacuum, and the vacuum that the Obama administration’s irresponsibility and neglect have left in world leadership is going to be filled.
