Two escalations today, one from both sides.
Russia and started joint air patrols with Syrian Air Force, right up to the Israeli border with Syria. The question is will this keep Israel from hitting arms transports to Hizbullah? Russia has entered into a 20 year mutual defense pack with Iran this week which follows up a similar deal with China but for 25 years earlier this year.
USA has moved multiple Global Hawks from UAE to Ukraine today.
Things are starting to move faster, the only thing left for Putin to do is build field hospitals in the territory he now holds in eastern Ukraine. If he builds hospitals, then I think it is going to pop off quickly after this.
