Putin wants the oil. The best way to get it is to keep Assad in power and on his side. To him, a few 1,000 Russians lives mean little.
Trump is delusional when he says he can deal with Putin. Putin does go to war if it benefits Putin. Are Americans ready to die to stop him?
IMP we need to stay out of the ME. Just buy the oil from the winners. When the oil runs out, take back everything the big money Arab elite bought with our money. Then they're back to riding camels.
In between then and now pursue fuels the West has. Buying gas from Russia has created a big problem. Buying cheap imports from China another big problem. Buying oil from terrorist nations another problem.
Russia's economic crash was meant to make us all safer. Ironic.
