Yes, the Russians will not want to lose their port - very much not want. Saudi's offering to pay for the war and threatening to give masses more arms and money to extremists in Syria if he does not go to war. It definitely could easily erupt. Everyone else is keeping clear. Even Hollande is now saying he will make his decision after Congress by which giving him space to change his mind even if Congress votes for it. I cannot believe Obama thinks what he is doing is the sensible thing to do. He seems to be being pushed by the Saudi's who want to rule the area and by the Israeli's. Well if it goes wrong which it easily could as Obama is not listening to reason - wait for UN report - you may see them!
This cartoon makes me think about the price Russia will pay . Mossad will fink on Russians to Chechens .
