DEBKAfile: Since Wednesday, Moscow has reported six warships have been sent out to reinforce the Russian fleet on hand opposite Syria.

Western naval sources reported Friday that a Chinese landing craft, the Jinggangshan, with a 1,000-strong marine battalion had reached the Red Sea en route for the Mediterranean off Syria. According to DEBKAfile, Beijing has already deployed a number of warships opposite Syria in secret. If the latest report is confirmed, this will be the largest Chinese deployment in the Middle East in its naval history.

The United States has withdrawn all non-emergency embassy workers and their families from Beirut and warned Americans against travel to Lebanon amid looming military strikes on Syria, the State Department said Friday. “Given the current situation in Syria and the region, as well as potential threats to U.S. Government facilities and personnel, we are taking these steps out of an abundance of caution to protect our employees and their families, and local employees and visitors to our facilities,” the State Deparment said Friday. "The Consulate General in Adana has been authorized to draw down its non-emergency staff and family members because of threats against U.S. government facilities and personnel," the department said, advising US citizens to defer non-essential travel to southeastern Turkey.

Three Russian naval ships were sailing toward Syria in the eastern Mediterranean on Friday and a fourth was on its way, the Interfax news agency reported, citing a source at navy headquarters.

Kremlin chief of staff Sergei Ivanov said Russia was boosting its naval presence in the Mediterranean Sea, but primarily in order to organize a possible evacuation of Russians from Syria. He did not say how many vessels were being sent.
Two Russian amphibious landing vessels and a reconnaissance ship have passed through the Dardanelles strait, according to the report carried by Interfax, a privately owned agency known for its independent contacts within Russia's armed forces.

Three Russian war ships were seen sailing through the Bosporus in Istanbul, Turkey, on Thursday. It was not immediately clear if they were the same three vessels, although that seemed likely.

Interfax reported that another landing ship had left the Black Sea port of Sevastopol on Friday morning and was to pick up a "special cargo" in Novorossiysk before sailing toward the eastern Mediterranean. The state RIA Novosti news agency also said that the landing ship Nikolai Filchenkov would be headed toward Syria after picking up cargo in Novorossiysk, which it said would take several days.

The three ships reported to have passed through the Dardanelles are the Novocherkassk and Minsk landing vessels and Priazovye reconnaissance ship.
The Defense Ministry said it was unable immediately to confirm the ships' departure.

Rhino.5dm:


S 400 is the best missile defence in the WORLD, with pin point.accuracy. Only 12 can shield Damascus from ANY attack from us. Even S 300 can render TOMAHWAK useless. Why do you think US can't declare no fly zone in Syria?




America na small where Russia dey.

Four more Russian naval ships are on their way to the eastern Mediterranean. Three were seen sailing through the Bosporus and a fourth has left the Black Sea port of Sevastopol.

Waspy: Russia has been waiting for USA to trip the [b][/b]bobby-trap...i pray Obama doesn't. Seems China just wants to reinforce their 'new-found' supremacy.
All said tho, guys pls came down, it's just not yet tme for the actions/thrillers you're anticipating, at least Israel is silent for now

mankand: Now it is getting interesting. Obama have lost his political integrity if he does not strike Syria, Obama have lost his political integrity if his strike on Syria get the US into a devastating situation.

Only US warship we have on Mediterean sea, how about the blabbing frog called Hollande? The UN G20 members are already divided, the majority of the south american countries are in support of Assad.

I think Obama drew the red-line for himself.

When Lavrov (Russian Foreign Minister) labelled him as a monkey holding a grenade, some people might actually see it as a racial statement, but know, it is a fact of what the Americans have placed in the white house.

What a shame, Obama is finished, Face China and Russia, China's Economy is strong enough to go into war with you, End game is a nuclear weapon, North Korea already anahilated you.

I am only pitying Nigerians who have just gotten to US on visa Lottery, please come back home. Britain have called Cameron into order, Cyprus is just a military base, they are in strong alliance with Russia along with Greece

I need to get a pop-corn making machine in my house now to star making some pop-corn to eat as i sit back to watch the wide screen. Thank God i have no family in US at the moment

All this is just silly!
When is this humanity going to work together in peace to tackle the boundaries of science and technology in medicine, agriculture, geology ( controlling earthquakes for instance) etc. ?
God might get rid of all the world one day because he is fed up with all this junk.
