BEIRUT -- Russia is preparing to dispatch a pair of warships carrying a contingent of Black Sea Fleet marines to its logistics base in the Syrian port of Tartus, the Russian Interfax news agency reported Monday, in what appeared to be another sign of the deteriorating security situation in the strife-ridden nation.
The report quoted an unidentified Russian naval source saying the amphibious ships Nikolay Filchenkov and Tsezar Kunikov, accompanied by the rescue tug SB-15, were “preparing for a non-routine departure” for Tartus, Russia’s only Mediterranean base.

The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
What could go wrong?
Russian’s could run out of vodka
Hunt for Red Burka ?
“Archduke Ferdinand Moment” (trigger-click) in the ME?
I wonder if the Russians will abstain from alcohol so they don’t upset the Muslims in Syria.
Going on while Putin is sitting next to Obama in Mexico. I remember Putin’s invasion of Georgia while sitting next to Bush at the Olympics opening ceremony.

LOL ,you so funny I pee myself
The Russians are well aware of the incompetency of the administration now governing the United States. They now, undoubtably feel now is the time to extend Russian power. However, with the buffoons in charge of our government “The Divine One” and his masters may unexpectedly lash out at the Russians and precipitate WW III. Will a military attack, either directly or indirectly, on Russian forces in Syria be the “October Surprise?”
Hillary Clinton is on the job!
Maybe the Russians have to secure and evacuate the WMD they moved there from Iraq
Two shiploads of Marines is not an extension of power
It is a security mission
For who, or for what?
Now, planeloads of paratroopers......that would be an extension of power
This is a situation that needs to be monitored closely.
I think you just hit the nail directly on the head.
Hillary will suck up all their vodka.

Excellent point!
Re: I wonder if the Russians will abstain from alcohol so they don’t upset the Muslims in Syria.
Last October I met with two Russian (Soviet Era) cosmonauts and there is no way they will give up alcohol. :-)
Putin just b-slapped Hillary and Obama.
