... The anchorages must be just gradually.

The following ships are on the way to the eastern Mediterranean or have already arrived there:

USS Mahan, destroyers, since August 2013 Mediterranean

USS Ramage, destroyers, left on for 8 months 7.8.13 Norfolk, Virginia, towards the Mediterranean Sea to catch up with the local US 6th Fleet.

On August 18, followed him from the same port of the US destroyer USS Stout towards the Mediterranean.

The USS San Antonio already passed the Suez Canal and is now also in the eastern Mediterranean, it is equipped with cruise missiles and 2200 Marines on board.

USS Barry, destroyers, and

USS Gravely, destroyers, both in the eastern Mediterranean and like all other destroyer equipped with Tomahawk missiles.

Furthermore, the nuclear-powered (two reactors) aircraft carrier Nimitz moved with 5 destroyers towards the Suez Canal, the Association of the amphibious assault ship USS Kearsarge has joined, which in recent months fluctuated between the Red Sea and the Mediterranean.

The nuclear-powered with two reactors aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman remained in the Persian Gulf.

The French frigate Chevalier Paul has also been sent to the eastern Mediterranean a few days ago, it is equipped with missiles. The frigate had 2011 already intervened in the war in Libya and bombed Libyan government forces.

In the eastern Mediterranean, also include nuclear-powered British and US submarines. This western Armada are far below Russian ships against:

The scout ship Priazovye that last Sunday the Black Sea port of Sevastopol left, continued since the end of July from the Pacific coming

  1. the Admiral Panteleyev destroyer
  2. the amphibious ships RFS Admiral Nevelskoi and RFS Peresvet,
  3. the tanker Pechenga
  4. the rescue ship Fotiy Krylov
  5. the missile cruiser Moskva (NATO slang: "aircraft carrier killer") from the Black Sea Fleet, he happened recently Gibraltar and is en route to the eastern Mediterranean
  6. a further anti-submarine ship, from the Baltic Fleet Coming
  7. In early June the only Russian aircraft carrier "Admiral Kuznetsov" was (possibly also retrofitted with nuclear propulsion) recalled into the Mediterranean, where it is currently not yet arrived.
  8. Military sources (the so with caution to enjoying Israeli portal Debkafile) also speak of a nuclear-powered and with missiles equipped with nuclear warheads Russian submarine, which will be permanently residing in the eastern Mediterranean to protect Syria.
  9. Two Russian amphibious ships, the "Novocherkassk" and the "Minsk," are traveling to the Mediterranean, so Russia Today.

Should there be a slugfest in and around Syria, could further added players. The massing of nuclear submarines and aircraft carriers against the Syrian coast is worrying. Should one or one to be hit by a rocket, a reactor could be destroyed.

(The first two rockets have been "tentatively" fired in the Mediterranean Sea, Israel spoke of a joint US-Israeli test.)

Then the Europeans could finally take care of her Fukushima before their own doorstep.

With the nuclear phase-out would however then once nothing. 250,000 years at least.

In truth, it was to find out how the reporting channels to Syria are. We know now that the Russians and Iranians defense tasks in the event of US or coalition of the willing attack at 10.9. will take over.

    In addition to the violation of international law of a military strike on the sovereign Syria without a UN mandate is exacerbated by the temporal reference for maßgablich, alleged polluter unoccupied use of poison gas at 10.9. is no longer given. There are no people dying yes "on ongoing gang", which could allow the genocide as engaged justification nor (MGL. Based on a UN mandate) is not given.
