MOSCOW — A Russian warship carrying "special cargo" will be dispatched toward Syria, a navy source said on Friday, as the Kremlin beefs up its presence in the region ahead of possible US strikes against the Damascus regime.

The large landing ship Nikolai Filchenkov will on Friday leave the Ukrainian port city of Sevastopol for the Russian Black Sea port of Novorossiisk, from where it will head to Syria's coast, the Interfax news agency quoted a source from the Saint Petersburg-based central naval command as saying.

"The ship will make call in Novorossiisk, where it will take on board special cargo and set off for the designated area of its combat duty in the eastern Mediterranean," the source said.

The source did not specify the nature of the cargo.

President, President, Prime Minister, President, Putin only cares about the last military base outside of Russia, Tartus, in Syria.

Either Obama blinks, or he starts WWIII.

As a Muslim terrorist, Obama and his insane Muzzies want the west to destroy themselves so they can pick up the pieces and rule the world.

Hussein Obama is sure Americans are fool enough to let it happen.
