Russians Fly People from Syria: Send Ships for Stage Two

And according to this Lebanese report, the Russians are also sending ships to Syria. There may be more than 30,000 Russian nationals in Syria, many of them women married to Syrian men. Add to that figure the husbands and children and other family members and you have a large population to evacuate. I doubt that they would be well treated if left behind to fall into the hands of the jihadists. Yes, the Russians will need ships to evacuate that many people.

The longer the Russians wait, the tougher it will be to pull off, and the bloodier. But if the Russians start evacuating on a large scale now, that will signal and hasten the end of the regime.

The end game in Syria may well be a total disaster on myriad fronts.
