Do you really think the Russians are going to use this power against the bad guys?

Both.
Not knowing anything about subs, I would think fast attack would be the best ones to follow this behemoth.

So Russia wants to prevent Syria from falling into the hands of ISIS.
...How is this a bad thing? Oh right because our president is on the Muslims’ side.
Assad staying is status quo, how is this so unbearable of an outcome that ISIS and Al-Qaeda are a better alternative?

Interesting. The Russians have had a naval base at Tartus Syrian for a long time. I don’t recall if it’s equipped to support nuc submarines but it seems odd to move a Boomer into such an exposed position. Probably just a middle finger salute to Obutthole and the the US.

Yeah, that's all we need on the sea deck, 200 more nuclear warheads. Ugh.

That depends on which chess game we’re talking about. If the report is accurate, it does serve a purpose. What does Russia gain from “helping” Assad? Iran is the other would-be “friend” of Assad, and has just been empowered by the deal with the US to possibly offer even greater and more decisive assistance to Assad. Possibly Putin sees his window of opportunity closing to gain proxy control of Syria, with all that implies for the rather complex chess game of advancing Russia’s energy markets. In which case a bit of brazen nuclear saber-rattling might be effective for the target demographic.
Peace,

I can see where there would be a minor benefit in checking out the current Russian Naval Base in Syrias’ capabilities to reprovision the ship. Beyond that I don’t see much. As other have noted making the subs’ location a mystery is a plus. Otherwise it is a temptation for ISIS.

In a world where up is up and down is down, a president would deploy some Aegis cruisers with interceptor missiles. The russian missiles would be shot down in boost phase before the MIRVs deploy. With this president perhaps he will decommission the Aegis system.
