Irregardless if the motives of the players, this could go hot anytime. RUS Mig 29s screwing with the Turks airspace. NATO is talking moving forces into Turkey, a NATO member we are bound to defend.
Saudi Arabia has made a threat to go .mil option if Assad does not go. POTUS says Assad must go.
Putin is going all-in to back Assad.

Sorry. The RFS Dimitry Donskoy, a Typhoon-class ballistic missile submarine left it's port (sailed) and was reported to be going to the eastern Mediterranean. That's near Syria... But hey, if y'all communicate in smilies and wtf, it may be a bit over your reading level.

The U.S. has at least 4 nuclear capable subs in the area within striking distance of Russia. They are not happy about that.

That has already been debunked. That sub is nowhere near the med. http://foxtrotalpha.jalopnik.com/no-russias-largest-ballistic-missile-submarine-probabl-1730867680

To add to the questionability of the report, Debkafile posted another article two days later saying the Dmitri Donskoy was passing through the Dardanelles towards Syria. Only one problem, the massive Typhoon Class would have to be coming from the Black Sea in order to pass through the Dardanelles, where it is definitely not stationed, nor likely to patrol. Additionally, the sub moving in or out of the Black Sea should make some decent sized news as it would have to pass through the Bosporus Strait, which is surrounded by bustling Istanbul.

The first report said the the sub had left its North Sea base with two anti-submarine ships in tow on September 4th, so what the heck would it be doing transiting out of the Black Sea and into the Mediterranean? Probably nothing, because that is impossible.

Don't believe every thing you hear about troop/airplane/or ship movements. The Media has been used by the US military to confuse and misinform the enemy. Been going on since WWII. Maybe earlier. The enemy has also done the same to us. One of the more impressive ones was Bagdad Bob from Iraq. He was hilarious.

I understand that, but I seriously doubt this report.
