thx Phat. Pope time steal headlines
Interesting timing for Russians go be jacking up that airbase and do some troop/civilian moves. The world (US) will be focused on Pope visit and give less play to foreign events. Russia sneaks in under radar.
My first thought was oops Russians about to get into another Afghan mud pile like US in Nam.
But Syrians having fled & fleeing doesn't suggest Vietnamese nationalism in this case. It's more like who need this, I'm getting out of Dodge.
Russia stands to get another naval base like in Ukr snatch & grab.
Funny that Arabs in general haven't yet, or will, react the way they did about American intervention.
Guess we'll see. If Irsandragged in and larger engagements begin like jets to jets or jets to ships probably see oil quick test 75.
Not much reaction if just more of same low level tribal action.
The greatest deception men suffer is from their own opinions.
