Hi John and Doves,
There is no doubt that the nations are gearing up for a major war in the Middle East. Quoting loosely from the article:- Russia has been operating jet patrols over Syria and China now has additional warships in the Mideast region. Up to 6 Chinese warships have been in Mideast waters over the last week. Beijing's foreign ministry has urged all Chinese citizens to make plans to depart Israel. End quotes. It is now a given that a major war is about to explode, in my opinion.
Let's not forget that Russia has a port in Tartus, Syria. Please see the 2nd link below for a map showing where Tartus is. It's situated directly above Lebanon.
