Here is another article about it from the International Business Times.

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.
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.
A little crowded out there, no?

Obama: "We Welcome China's Rise"
CBS News ^ | January 19, 2011 | Stephanie Condon
I thought the Russians had docked a submarine with nuclear missiles in Syria?
Chinese landing craft with 1,000 marines?
Big junk.
The kings of the east appear to be entering the stage.
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.
Some people here at FR are claiming this is all about Russia and the Gulf States trying to sell natural gas to Europe.
Why would the Chinese get involved in that?
A pipeline to a Syrian port would probably cut some expense, but they’d still have to load it on a ship to go across the Mediterranean.
And why would Assad not want a natural gas pipeline running through his country and natural gas being loaded at his port? He would get a cut.
This one I can believe. China, Russia, and Iran are working together in Syria.
Tass and RT have confirmed this.
I think we need to take a moment and thank all the Free Traitors for building up Chinese industries and strengthening their Navy.
This chart is two years old! I think most of the American navy is north in the Baltic now.
No mention of the aircraft carrier in port that they made up a couple of days ago? There were supposed to be 1000 marines in that report, too.
as of
September 28, 2015
Underway Aircraft Carriers:
USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN 69) - Atlantic
USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN 71) - 5th Fleet
USS George Washington (CVN 73) - Pacific
USS Harry S. Truman (CVN 75) - Atlantic
USS Ronald Reagan (CVN 76) - Pacific
By the way - the Nimitz is in the midst of a year and a half long refit, nowhere near the eastern Med.
Biggest landing craft in recorded history?
Maybe several large nations will join the party and hit all sides.
So...the Chinese are going to field troops along with the Russians to fight ISIS?
Now that would be wild.
Wonder what their ‘ rules of engagement ‘ are?
