Russia is sending an anti-submarine ship and a missile cruiser to the Mediterranean, as the U.S. ratchets up the threats to attack Syria, according to Russian news agency Interfax.
Russia's Interfax news agency quoted a source in the armed forces' general staff, saying the warships would arrive in the coming days because of the "well-known situation" - a clear reference to the conflict in Syria, although officially Russia denies the ship and missile cruiser are in response to the Syria situation.
According to WND, there are at least 12 Russian warships being sent.
Barack Obama talks about attacking Syria as a "shot across the bow"and I guess this can be considered Russia's shot across our bow.
Russia has already publicly warned that any action taken against Syria before it has been determined whether the Syria leadership or the al-Qaeda linked rebels carried out the chemical attack against the Syrian people, would cause dire, catastrophic consequences.
It was recently reported that the UK has stepped back from immediate Syrian attacks, until the UN finishes it's report on which faction carried out the attacks.
