Six Russian Su-34 Fullback bomber have just arrived in Syria. And this is the route they have likely flown to get there.

Sep 29 2015

By David Cenciotti

The Russian military build up continues as six Su-34 Fullback attack planes arrive in Syria.

Six Sukhoi Su-34 aircraft have eventually arrived at Latakia to join the Russian contingent already there.

Images allegedly shot around the al-Assad International Airport clearly show one Russian Fullback about to land at the airbase in western Syria where 28 Russian aircraft have arrived last week.

One of the photos taken from the ground shows the six aircraft trailing what seems to be an airliner over Idlib: the larger plane is probably a Russian Air Force Tu-154.

The Russians in Syria is like a history changing big deal. It is also scary. The American press not covering this story in full tells me either the journalists left are stupid or they are covering for Obama - probably both.

I am okay with Russia getting dragged into this quagmire.

“As long as they kill ISIS, I am all for them.”

Ditto.

“...tells me either the journalists left are stupid or they are covering for Obama - probably both...”

Obama is a tragic laughing-stock of the free Western world. He graciously opens the door for Russia to assume the role of the United States in the world. At least for the time being. If you heard Obama UN address, that made it all even worse. A total fraud who does not even rise to the rank of court jester. And the world knows it and now they move in to go after what they want (oil, control, influence, etc) as they see fit.

Meanwhile, the USA does NOTHING. Not only for the world, but principally for the security and the USA and our allies...if we have any left. And the Congress fiddles, as they have for seven years plus, while America burns.

The introduction of the S300 system changed the whole game for everyone - the US media continues to ignore this (small) item. The planes, tanks, armored vehicles of various types, Typhoon sub, and personnel are just there to protect and project a ‘fate accompli’.

Putin is not going to worry about collateral damage or public opinion. He is going to identify wherever ISIS is holding out and then carpet bomb that place back to the Stone Age.

And if they surrender you can be sure they’ll be headed to a detainment and debriefing camp that will make Gitmo look like Punta Cana by comparison.

Predictions? Russia involved in Syria kicks serious ISIS butt to defeat. Then the glorious coalition alliance of Russia, Syria, Iran, maybe China with Hezbollah on board eventually take aim at Israel. Book of Ezekiel and Armageddon anyone?

Bingo. Up till now I had a difficult time envisioning how the coalition described in the Book of Revelation made any sense. Until now.

This whole Syrian situation has all the hallmarks of the opening act of a World War.

Few folks know about Operation Rimon 20, where the Soviets got their a$$es handed to them by the IAF.

Open up a few battle fronts, have ISIS/Hezbollah open fire with artillery on Haifa or Tel Aviv, Israel retaliates and decimates a Russian airstrip or two. We have the beginnings of the Gog-Magog War spoken of in Ezekiel 38 and Damascus going up in smoke in Isaiah 17.

Could our homosexual, Muslim, Marxist Communist President be part of this plot?

Yeah, I’m just sure that SYRIANS are flying them.

But I don’t care who is flying, as long as they kill lots of ISIS and Al Queda.
