Sounds like more than a few cruise missiles.

Resources are moving into the area.
The big question: Is Russia re-allocating resources into the area? Because that would be bad.

Warmonger Obama is going to mass murder people, again.

Russia has a base in Syria. Is an ally and supplies their arms. Russia told us a dozen times to stay out of this.

Absolutely. But the question is: Has Russia begun beefing up their position?

Apparently, a coalition is forming, too. Like most Americans, I wish we were not on the verge of this. If it's started, the Turks and friendly Arabs need to do the boots on the ground piece.

Seriously. If tomorrow were the day of the Normandy Invasion it would be all over Twitter by now.

AFAIK, the closest Russian forces other than Tartus are near Sevestapol on the Black Sea. Russia really doesn’t have much to build up.

“But the question is: Has Russia begun beefing up their position?”
They’ve moved several ships and attack aircraft. Also, Syria’s air defenses are being controlled (or were) by three Russian radar ships. I’ve read they’ve moved marines (their equivalent) into the area to “protect Russian civilians.”
The danger here is that somebody spoofs an attack from either Russia or the USA on the other.
To: Zuben Elgenubi
No room for pretenses these days,, Syria is the Normandy of its day, fake C130s or not..
History is a cruel taskmaster.
Sadly, those in control seemed hell-bent to take it to a new level.

Maybe President Cruz or Palin can hand over obama to the world court for war crimes. How’s that nobel prize committee these days. Are you happy with your communist kenyan?

If ‘Cousin Itt’ Manning gets it that would just be so predictable...
