Russia bolstered its military presence off the Syrian coast after its media reported that the West was preparing to soon launch air strikes against the Syrian regime.

The regime has been preparing to kick off an offensive in the opposition-held northwestern Idlib province, where Moscow said the factions were planning to stage a chemical attack to provoke the western strike.

Quoting anonymous sources, the Kommersant daily reported that Russia sent two warships and an additional anti-aircraft missile system to the Mediterranean in August.

Pro-Kremlin paper Izvestia said Russia currently has 10 warships and two submarines in Syrian waters, saying this amounted to Moscow's biggest military presence there since it became involved in the conflict in 2015.

According to Izvestia, Russia plans to send "several more" warships to Syria.

Russia's deputy foreign minister Sergei Ryabkov charged that opposition factions were "close to committing a very serious provocation in Idlib using chemical weapons".

Moscow's accusations came after US President Donald Trump's national security adviser John Bolton said Washington will respond "very strongly" if Syrian regime forces used chemical weapons to retake Idlib.

In April, the US, France and Britain launched joint missile strikes on Syrian targets in response to a chemical weapons attack in the town of Douma that left scores of people dead.

John Bolton is so dumb and rabid at the same time, he wants to destroy all of israel’s enemies at any cost... He has promised greater israel to zionists.

Bush couldn’t bring more security to israel by attacking Afghanistan & Iraq but Bolton wants to do it.

God knows how many more wars zionists will make in Islamic countries for sake of 8 million coward Jews.

Muslim rulers like sissy are the real cowards. Israel is our sworn enemy so only a moron or a traitor would expect flowers from the zionazi state.
