[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Chechen fighters and field commanders have featured prominently in the uprising against Syrian

Hereditary President-for-Life Bashir Pencilneck al-Assad
Terror of Aleppo ...
. While a number of them may have departed directly from the Russian Federation, others are likely veterans or relatives of exiles in Europe, ~~The Sick Man of Europe~~ Turkey

#6 Looks like the CHINESE are coming to Syria [Iraq?] ... ...

* TOPIX, WORLD NEWS > CHINA: IFF ASSAD ASKS, WE CAN SEND TROOPS [Etc.] TO SYRIA.

* IIRC DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > ARRIVAL OF CHINESE SERVICE PERSONNEL IMMINENT IN SYRIA.

* WAFF > ARAB NEWS SOURCE [Al-Masdar Al-Akbar] REPORTS CHINA SENT WARSHIP [via Suez Canal] TO SYRIA [to help Vlad's Boyz = Russia],SAYS CHINESE TROOPS AND MILITARY AIRCRAFT WILL ARRIVE IN SIX WEEKS.

To defeat the ETIM in Xinjiang = West China, you defeat them + other Hrad Boyz "over there" OTH/OTFH in Syria - Iraq? AFPAK?

Iff the above is true, I have to wonder iff China + PLA [SpecOps]will no longer be relying on China BFF-Ally Pakistan to deal wid the Hard Boyz, but instead will now be undertaking more direct military role or military action agz the post-Mullah Omar TTP + ISIS/ISIL in Same + ME???
