Russian Warships Off Syria, US Carriers Near Iran Big power gunboat diplomacy is in full spate in the Mediterranean and Persian Gulf. Washington is underscoring its military option against Iran's nuclear program, while Russia is demonstrating its resolve to prevent NATO attacking Syria after Libya and defending Bashar Assad's regime. Monday, Nov. 21, ---------------------------------- Aircraft Carrier CVN-77 Parks Next Door To Syria Just As US Urges Americans To Leave Country "Immediately" Yesterday we reported that the Arab League (with European and US support) are preparing to institute a no fly zone over Syria. Today, we get an escalation which confirms we may be on the edge. Just out from CBS: "The U.S. Embassy in Damascus urged its citizens in Syria to depart "immediately," and Turkey's foreign ministry urged Turkish pilgrims to opt for flights to return home from Saudi Arabia to avoid traveling through Syria." But probably the most damning evidence that the "western world" is about to do the unthinkable and invade Syria, and in the process force Iran to retaliate, is the weekly naval update from Stratfor, which always has some very interesting if always controversial view on geopolitics, where we find that for the first time in many months, CVN 77 George H.W. Bush has left its traditional theater of operations just off the Straits of Hormuz, a critical choke point, where it traditionally accompanies the Stennis, and has parked... right next to Syria. |

Is the U.S. About to Invade Syria … and Pick a Fight with China and Russia?
Tyler pointed out yesterday and today that the risk of a Syrian war is quickly rising. I want to amplify on three aspects of this issue: (1) a war against Syria was planned 10 years ago (2) the American people don't want a new war and (3) Russia and China may strongly react against such a war |

I can't wait for the "USS Obama" to be christened.. That'll be a hoot. Yes we will get involved in Syria because that coon has no domestic policy that has ever worked. He is now moving our troops around like chess pieces in an effort to make his ass look good. Any rational person should know better, problem is there are not many rational people in the US anymore. Most are system suckers who will vote the bastard back in so they can get some tax money back. We are doomed............... |
