A flotilla of five Russian warships laden with hundreds of troops, which is headed toward Syria, is a show of force meant to deter Western armies from intervening in the war-torn nation, the London-based Sunday Times reported.

Previous reports cited Russian diplomats to the effect that the vessels were being put in place in order to evacuate thousands of Russians who still remain in Syria if the situation in the country called for it.

With Assad continuing to refuse to step down, and his ability to remain in power at question, the Russians appear to be doubling down on their bets. Legitimately though, there is that troubling cache of chemical weapons that would need secured if/when Assad retires from public life.
