The Chinese aircraft carrier Liaoning-CV-16 docked at the Syrian port of Tartus, accompanied by a guided missile cruiser. Its arrival has upended the entire strategic situation surrounding the Syrian conflict, adding a new global dimension to Moscow and Tehran’s military support for Assad.
This sounds severe except if one understands the true background here. China has exactly ONE carrier…this one. It is a 20 year old Ukrainian aircraft carrier that was only 70% complete when Ukraine disarmed in 1998. They sold the half built ship to China who has taken 20 years to finally complete the vessel. China has no experience at all with naval air operations. In truth, the carrier arrived in Syria without a single aircraft aboard. More of this humorous sabre rattling on the next page:
Good someone has to take the fight to ISIS

Makes ya wonder.
America is now a watcher but no longer a player. Thank you US politicians for making US a weak conuntry. I am proud to be an American but embarrassed for my government.
While we weaken our military to the danger point china and russia increaser theirs. We retire our ships and aircraft with very few replacements while they are busy putting out untold numbers aof new weapons and you liberals in DC think this is OK? As little as seven years ago they still saw we were capable now they see us as weak ad vulnerable. Thank you OBAMA for making the world a much more dangerous place with your inactions and worthless presidency!
here we go..think peace…
Maybe they will show Obama how this is done.
