Russia sends largest naval armada of Syrian war amidst new chemical attack warnings, page-10

its only my opinion. but someone said something that made the saudis retreat

netanyahu has been doing a lot of travelling to moscow in the last few years and this may have been one of the discussion points - putin telling israel, the main instigater methinks, that they had better warn saudi to cease and desist or else. it certainly wasnt in russias interest to allow this proposed invasion to happen

then what happens a couple of years later? netanyahu announces that assad isnt such a bad chap after all.
