Russia is about to turn that city into more desert sand

quote:

Putin prepares to rain hellfire on Aleppo: Russia's largest navy deployment since Cold War heads to Syria where it will launch wave of air strikes and turn tide for Assad.


quote:

A Russian naval taskforce believed to be heading to Syria could pass through the Channel as early as Thursday night, according to the Ministry of Defence, which has dispatched Royal Navy ships to shadow the vessels.

The Russian aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov and its accompanying contingent of seven ships is understood to be sailing for the Syrian coast to take part in the assault on Aleppo. Separately, two Russian ships are heading north from Portugal to join up with the taskforce.

There had been some speculation about whether the main flotilla would pass via Ireland, but an MoD spokesman said it seemed certain it would pass through the Channel soon. “They’re in the North Sea and they’re not going to turn west now – they are going to go through the Channel. It’s hard to say when,” he said.

It's a call. The Russians have said they're going to go shock and awe on Aleppo and we have 2 choices. Either step back and let them do it or stop them.

Pic # 2. The front of that carrier looks like the toe of mizzoukills' sweet new zipper-boots.

Would be quicker to simply head south over the land mass, according to my calculations.

Wouldn't it make more sense for them to just wait for the flotilla?

For some reason, I find it funny how that map points out specific portions of the ocean like "English Channel."

Like...thanks...I was wondering how they were going to get between England and France.
