The Russian presence isn´t all-embracing. It´s still Syria and Damascus has the sole say. The Russians have probably not more troops in Syria than the US has.Don´t know about subs. Israeli attacks are frequent and nothing new. They use any pretext to start an aggression.They will send some missiles. Russia will take out the sources of fire and Syria will send some missiles to US bases in Syria.That's what the Russians SAY, yet how many hours passed since the incident?
And only now they're talking about ALLOWING the UN in...
This in not a sign of a powerful working body but a pushover. Not how one takes control of such a situation. And it doesn't seem anyone of the big players in Syria are willing to take responsibility , they try to gain time instead of solving it quickly,
In the meanwhile from what I see, the US only placed one ship near the coast.
Who knows, do destroyers walk alone?
Yesterday they thought a sub was a attacking them, while they saw something like a 3 front attack on their systems, south, east, west. And not the jets that today, they claim were around the corner.
I'm just telling You that Russians and Syrians blamed about 5 different countries in the east, south and west during the hour of the attack. From what they say now one can gather that while Israeli jets flew in the direction of Syria, Russian jets flew by in the opposite direction because they thought a sub was attacking them from the sea.
This doesn't look like Russia really knows what'a going on in Syria in the real time as well as everybody thought.
From here it looks like Russians have MUCH more troops, and casualties.
and that Assad has the least control over his country in context of Russia, Iran and Turkey presence.
Assad could use this to boost his image and invite all in the immediate hour for an opem-to all investigation, and simply ask for help in dealing with this if he had no connection or had the control to decide for his country.
If he did it immediately his image could improve instantly.
