FULL TITLE: Russian reinforcements head for Syria: Warships laden with tanks, military trucks and armoured patrol boats sail towards the Middle East as the world awaits Putin's response to airstrikes

Project 117 Alligator-class landing ship was spotted at Bosphorus, Turkey en-route to Syria on Sunday

The Russian vessel was laden with tanks, ambulances and IED radar after Friday's US-led Syrian air strikes

A RoRo Alexandr Tkachenko was also seen carrying high-speed patrol boats, temporary bridge and trucks

US, UK and French forces backed strikes that obliterated three targets in response to chemical weapon attack

Vladimir Putin warned there would be 'consequences' to military action against him and Bashar al-Assad

I didn’t even make it to their next segment. They were inviting Karl Rove, that Saudi bitch, on next, to discuss Paul Ryan leaving.

I swear FNC is full on warmongering neocon with the exception of Tucker-Hannity-Igraham.

"...Russia’s stake is to block any pipeline from Saudi Arabia through Syria to Turkey and then up into Europe. Russia oil and gas supply to Europe is a cash cow for them...."

So many folks don't acknowledge this.

It's not about freedom, or ISIS, or the mass murder of millions of innocents.

It's is solely about revenue.

Russia's revenue, to be exact.

Yes....better to sit back til the dust storm settles as it distorts the view...., and there's a lot of it flying around!

I read it. I do not trust its credibility or “facts” over Mattis, etc. (For example, the claim the Assad regime has only used non-lethal chem weapons on only military targets, previously, is just absurd.)

So, ok, you believe Trump, Mattis, etc., are lying. I don’t. We’ll have to leave it at that — I have lengthy tax filings yet to complete. (Ugh.)

[Paul R.]

Oh, one last thing - as I was closing out web pages (links to the site you referenced), I hit the “about” page for the page author “sasa wawa”, scrolled down a bit, and found among others along for the ride, Cindy Sheehan.

Ok...

I don’t know anything about this deployment of troops/armor, but if anyone thinks that you can put together a large deployment of troops, armor, boats etc... in a weekend or even a week you know nothing about deploying troops. This has to be a previously planned deployment.

Yes, the 82nd airborne and small units (battalion sized) of Marines can deploy on short notice, but they are light infantry, no heavy armor and those units train and are prepared for rapid deployments.

[Magnum44]

This has to be a previously planned deployment.

And propaganda.

You are correct. If this were real Russian reaction, Putin would be airlifting in the hardware post-haste.

[Old Teufel Hunden]

"Putin would be airlifting in the hardware post-haste."

And I doubt the Russians have the capability to airlift tanks and heavy armor in. I know they have some plane they built that's bigger than our C-5's but from what I've read in the past they almost never use them because they are always breaking down.

[Salvavida]

Anything in Revelations about this?

Nah, you're good. Go back to sleep.

Isaiah’s prophecy soon to be fulfilled:

AGAIN?

Damascus an ash heap.

Great map! Thank you for posting it!

[SaveFerris]

Yeah, I’m expecting something with Libya, too. What that will be, I don’t know.

Or, if you don't control the seas (Tridents) you will be deceased.

Nominal GDP only works when you have a floating currency, which China doesn’t. I know we feel like the Romans in the 4th Century AD and are convinced that NO ONE can ever defeat us...but in this case China’s simply pulling away now.

"Not so.......Pipelines 'hardwire' countries and leverage... Add Israels potential and easy to see what 'the hook' might be."

Yes, the word has been out for some time. The pipeline could reduce Europe's dependence on Russia, and Russia doesn't like that. And the fact that Russia wants to own Europe is certainly not breaking news.

[familyop]

"All I can say is: if there is evidence so damning that it can change the tenor of Mattis's public statements in a single day, let it be released."

No. Let the Russians hand all of their intelligence information over to us first. And then you know that we won't show them ours. ;-)

It's pretty funny, when one of our fellow Homer Simpsons here demands classified information.

Never has been fulfilled.

I’m amazed that you don’t know this well known fact.

And Happy Birthday! Israel turns 70 years old on May, 14, 2018. Not setting dates, but it’s interesting

Yes, I think it’s potentially very interesting - Given Zechariah 12:1-3.

In that sense, I believe God appointed President Trump - knowing he would do this.

Just my $0.02. I can’t prove it, of course.

BUT, I’m sure the muslims are NOT going to like it one bit. NOT ONE BIT.

THAT, I AM certain of. 100% certain of.

I say, keep prepping and keep looking up!
