Hal Turner Commentary
We are heading into something different this time with the Syrians and Russians off the coast of Syria. I do not have a good feeling about this striking against Assad now.
Russian Marines and special operations troops are POURING into Syria and more equipment is on the way.
We may be seeing the beginning of the real war between the US and Russia in northeastern Syria in the Province of Idlib, Syria.
Russia has so far sent 17 warships and more are on the way. Other reports are saying Russian TU-22M3 bombers are being sent to Iran for Anti ship operations in the Med.
From my former colleagues in the Intelligence Community, I have begun warning of actual war with Russia coming.

Forgive me for getting religious, but it looks like we're headed straight for Isaiah 17, Psalm 83, Daniel 11, and Ezekiel 38 all in one shot.
