In a statement published on Monday, the Russian MoD said it noted the deployment to the Mediterranean last weekend of the missile destroyer USS Ross carrying 28 Tomahawk cruise missiles on board. It came after a similar move of the USS The Sullivans to the Persian Gulf and the rebasing of a B-1B Lancer strategic bomber to an air base in Qatar.

Well, I am guessing some members here can verify the movement of the destroyers and the Lancer through other niche communities and watchdog groups. We got till this weekend anyways. Its only Tuesday. Russia also states they will shoot down any missile fired at the government and have done so previously as well.
For all we know this is all part of the chess game they play for the optics and are just spending old ordnance so they can replace it with new ones. Whatever chemicals Assad uses, I hope we strike him good swiftly in retribution. That son-of-a-gun liar just can't stop his sick games.
Bolton’s warning comes as Russian-backed Syrian forces are deploying around Idlib, where tens of thousands of fighters — now dominated by jihadists — are stationed.

Well now it sounds even more plausible. A B1 is certainly more capable over Syrian skies than a B-52 when attacking government targets.
Either way I'd just going to lay off this until the weekend unless something develops during the week. However I am confident enough to make a wager as I feel the probability is over 70%.
