They’re coming

After a few days’ stop in Djibouti the Russian Navy tanker Kama left the African port heading north into the Red Sea.

She is currently proceeding at a speed of about 7 knots and is likely to transit the Suez Canal at the beginning of the next week. Her final destination is the Syrian port of Tartus.

We have no clear evidence but it is highly likely that along with the tanker Kama the Russian Navy frigate Admiral Gorshkov is also sailing in the same waters. The two ships have in fact been sailing together since their parentage from the port of Murmansk in early January.

The two ships have been operating in the North Atlantic before participating in an exercise in South Africa and stopping over in Iran and are now precisely headed to Tartus to operate in the Mediterranean.

The Admiral Gorshkov  would be armed with new Zircon hypersonic cruise missiles. This would be the first time Russia has deployed an armed unit with this type of weaponry in the Mediterranean theater.

  • Why have the so called developed and world leaders put the world on such Tension? In today’s world should there still be conquest? China in Taiwan, Russia in Crimea and now Ukraine, why? Why cause suffering and deaths of innocent souls? Could you give us space to live and breathe?

  • We want a world free of nuclear -every set back on the war front Putin and his deputy chairman of the national security council talks of use of nuclear weapons, why?. May be the two know they have monopoly of the weapon?
    That nonsense should stop, let life and the world continue

  • I think that a severe economic limitation on China Russia and their skies is a must, no politician with some analitycy capability would not come to the conclusion that an eminent threat of all out economic and warlike action is at the backdoor of the free world not only western but also emerging free world te a ND limited weapons to Ukrainę,.watch infiltration of our populations and in particular emerging economies, and wre ready to poor over neighbours in need for minerals oil etc.
    If we don t help our selfs God will not
    So

  • Russia navy Gorshkov and Tanker Kama ! Are both carrying nukes! They should both be Intercepted at once, under international law. They are both sailing to be in range of the target countrys. If we don’t act swiftly , then it will be to late as always…….

  • Why everybody in world talking about Putin and Ukraine, why nobody talk about stop the war just sttop usa and nato dnt want to stop,our people frome europe and usa didnt get what they vote for all spent on ukraine look like freinds wants depopulate nation of Ukraine,how could you say to pepole who vote for president and prime ministrs how much gas or water spent, all of them in luxury

  • The question we should be asking ourselves did we not see USA acting like a made man with no accountability breaking every human rights by invading poor and weak countries, torturing, killing people who don’t even know where America and Western world is with Nato and their European allies? The USE OF WHITE PHOSPHORUS AND DEPLETED URANANIUM in Faluja (Iraq) didn’t, the torture of inocents Iraqi, the occupation of Syria and the theft of its oil, the destruction of Lybia causing huge refugees toward Europe and the bombing of Youguslavia, bring the condemnation of the European world or the ICC setting up a special tribunal for the Leaders of USA and those European states who participated in theses crimes against humanity. I am a EUROPEAN CITIZEN and I am gainst the invasion of any country including Ukraine or the killing and torture of innocents people by the Powerful ones but we have to stop the double standard. AMERICA HAS NUCLEAR WEAPONS IN EUROPE AND RUSSIA IS DOING THE SAME BUT NOT NEAR AMERICA CONTINENT. I BELIEVE IT IS A TRAGEDY TO EUROPE AND EUROPEANS FUTURE. We are in the 21st century and should be focusing on howvto eradicate hunger, diseases and we seeing everyday the killing of innocents civilians and soldiers of Ukraine/Russia and all over the world either by politiciansor by terrorists. It is unacceptable and tragique that we stay silents.
