I've Been Thinking:
Russia and China are embarking on naval maneuvers in the Mediterranean Sea.
The exercise will include 9 large ships and numerous smaller support vessels.
The headquarters for the maneuvers will be the Russian missile cruiser the Moskva which is attached to the Black Sea Fleet and is normally docked in Crimea.
The deputy commander of the Russian navy, Vice Admiral Alexander Fedotenkov, is running the exercise from the Russian side. According to him "Sea Cooperation 2015 drills ... were not aimed against a third country."
Of course --- this is pure 100% rhetoric.
These drills are aimed at the United States and her allies as well as at the entire Middle East. Russia and China are saying loudly and clearly that they are now, individually and collectively, significant players in the region.
From here on, Russia and China will influence and effect change on everyone and everything in the region.
