The recent arrival of the Russian Marines and Air Force to the Syrian port-city of Tartous has generated a significant amount of interest around the world, as the possibility of Russia’s direct military intervention becomes the focal point of the war on ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and Al-Sham).

Instead, the Russians appear to have a contingency that involves another world power that was absent from the U.S. led Anti-ISIS Coalition: China.

On Tuesday morning, a Chinese naval vessel reportedly traveled through Egypt’s Suez Canal to enter the Mediterranean Sea; its destination was not confirmed.

However, according to a senior officer in the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) that is stationed inside the Syrian coastal city of Latakia, Chinese military personnel and aerial assets are scheduled to arrive in the coming weeks (6 weeks) to the port-city of Tartous – he could not provide anymore detail.

Pieces being set atop the Book of Revelations Risk Board.

Those ISIS punks are going to rue the day they crossed paths with Vlad Putin and the ChiComs. They aren’t going to be worried about collateral damage.

If Frau Merkel thinks that the "refugee" crisis is bad now, just wait until the Ruskies, the Chicoms and the Iranians get into an all-out slugfest with ISIS. To say that those parties lack any vestige of a humanitarian impulse is to engage in understatement.

Well, this is getting interesting.

Obama probably studied up real hard on China when he was a communist organizer, er, I mean, community organizer.

There is a certain circularity to that statement.

I would lay money on Islam screeching to a halt when the ChiComs decide to nuke Mecca.

The other possibility is they are bringing in assets to protect Iran from western threats

Doesn’t Revelations say “ a hook will be put into the mouth of the Dragon and the Bear and they will be dragged down into the final battle (with Israel)?” Or words to that effect.

This is what global government looks like. You won’t see its invisible hand, until it’s too late.

Best case scenario (at least until the Kenyan is gone) will be continued civil war in Syria and Iraq, and making sure Israel's missile defense is state of the art.

Don’t worry, our military leadership is fully ‘representative and inclusive’ though.

It’ll be interesting to see what the Chinese do and how well trained their military is. Maybe they’re using it as a live training exercise? What they do in Syria and what they learn there will become a basis for the Chinese army’s future doctrine.
