The bear wants a strong position in the Mediterranean sea. This has nothing to do with anything else. Syria is too far it needs and wants a strong sea port! Boulder, Not sure if you saw Geoffrey Grider’s latest article about Macron touring Beirut ... the Lebanese people have rolled the red carpet out to him ... calling him “Saviour and their only hope”. :wacko: I was curious if Macron has ties with Putin so I googled it ...
