US and UK naval force massing in Persian Gulf

[Prepper1]

There's something strange going on with the Russians one minute saying that they'll back Syria and sending spetznaz to defend their base at Tartarus, then all of a sudden leaving and taking the troops with them.
It's like they've learnt something that's set them off on the other foot and we've not heard off them since about Syria. Seems fishy to me but I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
