This is a bigger deal than I suspect people might realize. The reason there’s been destabilizing civil wars in Syria and Libya is their Russian bases. Now they might have to go through NATO country waters for basically everything in the Mediterranean.

Whether it’s wise is going to be up to history. I’m not saying that. I’m saying you could have predicted who would have a civil war 15 years ago with a map of Russian bases.

Good.

Sounds like good news to me

In 2014 Ukraine, Russia invaded and annexed Crimea to save the port in used historically (which belonged to Ukraine). I’m sure Syria is reading the history books to see if Russia tries that again in Tartus.
