Russia declared Tuesday it was pulling back some of its forces near the Ukrainian border in what seems like de-escalation despite western corporate media hyping headlines every minute of the day, for the last week, of an "imminent" Russian invasion of Ukraine. Readers should refocus their attention to Syria, where Russia plans naval drills with hypersonic missiles in the Mediterranean. Reuters, citing Russian RIA and TASS media outlets, said Russian warships, bombers, and hypersonic missile-equipped fighter jets had been repositioned to Syria. The drills will involve several Russian fleets and take part in the eastern part of the Mediterranean, they cited Russia's defense ministry as saying. Earlier on Tuesday, Russia announced plans for a similar exercise in the Barents Sea. -Reuters Military observes have already pointed out Russian warplanes are en route to Syria. avi scharf @avischarf Russian AF airborne command post from Moscow > Latakia > Damascus (?) There's even alleged video of a Mikoyan MiG-31, the fighter jet that can carry the Kinzhal nuclear-capable air-launched ballistic missile, landing at a Russian military base in Latakia, Syria. https://twitter.com/i/status/1493571264098750464 Busy, busy Moscow, who has now pivoted from what appears to be Ukraine to Syria as war drills with hypersonic air-launched missiles could be nearing in the Mediterranean. The question we ask readers is how US intel folks will dish out the next round of reports to western corporate media who were put on an embarrassing display over the last week for hyping "imminent" World War Three headlines. Poster Comment: Russian drills give Syrians breathing room from all those Israeli attacks. What Syria needs is the Russian S-400 anti-aircraft system with sufficient missiles to stop Israeli attacks. But Russia has a huge Jewish Lobby just like the US.

Now The US & Russia Are Holding Massive Rival Military Drills In Middle East US leading possibly the largest maritime exercise in recent history... The Truth of 911 Shall Set You Free From The Lie
Russia's defence minister arrives in Syria ahead of naval drills Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu arrived in Syria on Tuesday to oversee military drills drawing on 15 warships and 30 aircraft in the Eastern Mediterranean, Russian state media reported. The exercises are part of a sweeping set of naval drills Russia has been conducting amid a tense standoff with the West over Ukraine. Shoigu’s visit to the country follows an earlier announcement by the Russian defence ministry that it had deployed MiG-31K fighter jets armed with hypersonic missiles and long-range strategic bombers to its air base in Syria for naval exercises. Syrian President Bashar al-Assad is a key ally of Moscow, and Russia has leveraged its 2015 military intervention in Syria, widely credited with turning the tide of the civil war in favour of the government, to project power throughout the region.
