Could be giving leadway for the Iranians with Russia’s help to attack Israel if and when Israel takes out Iran’s nuke sights.
150,000 Russian troops in Syria including 8,000 Chinese troops with a Chinese carrier group out in the sea ? Just to fight a few thousand ISIS troops ?
They are staging for a major battle in the middle East.
The US taking the carrier group out of the Persian gulf gives a signal to Israel’s enemies that the US is not going to stop Iran, Russia, from attacking Israel.
I’m afraid you’re right.
China's only aircraft carrier isn't even fully operational at this point. They have made a lot of progress, but they aren't going to be sending it to Syria any time soon.
Surely you realize it's absurd to suggest Russia will put 150,000 troops in Syria...and that the Chinese will put 8,000...right?
I know there have been false reports posted on this forum suggesting that.
But nothing from anyone that could be considered reputable.
China will not deploy ANY combat troops to Syria and Russia would have a hard time supporting 40,000.
And if you think Russia will attack a country with 200+ deliverable nukes, you're crazy.
