CNN: Pentagon questions presence of Russian warships off Syrian coast
Washington (CNN)The Pentagon is monitoring and questioning the presence of over a dozen Russian Navy warships that are currently deployed in the Eastern Mediterranean, within striking distance of Syria.
The presence of the Russian warships comes as US officials tell CNN that US intelligence assesses that Moscow's Syrian allies have carried out airstrikes against medical facilities in Idlib, one of the few remaining rebel held areas in the country.
The Russian Navy "has been steadily building a large contingent of naval assets close to Syria with more than a dozen ships, many of those KALIBR-missile-equipped," Pentagon spokesman Eric Pahon told CNN referring to the Russian-made cruise missile.

Можливо, товариш, пан Путін вважає, що може відновити Росію до старовинних славних часів. Ні. Ваш цар є надмірним, і він повинен витрачати менше часу, ховаючи вкрадені гроші на березі, і турбуючись про те, щоб народ господарства повернувся додому

Россия - великая нация, дважды разрушенная и реформированная. Оригинальная столица Киева до прихода монгола. До тех пор, как у русских есть 2,1 детей, работать, откладывает водку и бюргерская Присадка не принимать пагубное количество, Россия всегда будет большой.
Путин - скребок. Я могу восхищаться им за это. Но если он хочет запутаться, возможно, в третий раз это очарование
