Russia Deploys Full Might Of It’s Northern Fleet To Syria As Cowardly Obama Watches Helplessly

Russia has begun its biggest surface deployment since the end of the Cold War as it aims to effectively end the war in Syria on the eve of the US election, NATO officials warned last night.

The Kremlin is sending the full might of its Northern Fleet and part of the Baltic Fleet to reinforce a final assault on the city of Aleppo in a fortnight, according to Western intelligence.

The final bombardment is designed to shore up the Assad regime by wiping out rebels – paving the way for a Russian exit from the civil war.

NATO Diplomat Says Russia is Preparing Naval Fleet for Syria:

The assault on the city will also serve to highlight US inaction in the run-up to election day and may aid Donald Trump. Yesterday, ahead of this morning’s debate with Hillary Clinton, his presidential campaign released a letter from defence experts backing plans to increase the size of the US military.

The cowardly Obama draws a ‘red line’ with Syria then runs away when Syria crosses it:

When Obama drew a ‘red line’ with Syria, which was nearly immediately crossed by Assad, he lacked the moral courage to back it up. So what did he do? He denied he ever had a ‘red line’ in the first place, and did nothing. This created a huge vacuum that Russia stepped into, and that was what was able to change the balance of power in the Middle East. So as a direct result of Obama’s cowardice, Russia controls the entire narrative in Syria and by extension Iran as well.

Royal Navy warships are due to escort a group of eight Russian warships, including the country’s only aircraft carrier, as they sail past the UK on their way to the Mediterranean.

Senior Royal Navy officers expect the task force to sail past the UK as early as Thursday in a show of strength dismissed as “posturing” by defence sources.  But a senior NATO diplomat said the deployment from the Northern Fleet’s base near Murmansk would herald a renewed attack in Aleppo.

Russia deploys missile defense system in Syria:

“They are deploying all of the Northern Fleet and much of the Baltic Fleet in the largest surface deployment since the end of the Cold War,” the diplomat said.

“This is not a friendly port call. In two weeks, we will see a crescendo of air attacks on Aleppo as part of Russia’s strategy to declare victory there.”

The additional military firepower is designed to drive out or destroy the 8,000 rebels in Aleppo, the only large city still in opposition hands, and to allow Vladimir Putin, the Russian president, to start a withdrawal. source
