I agree. He has a cool tactical head. Basically protecting Russian interests but no worse than the US sucking up to Israel.
A complication arises though. I believe Russia has just signed a new deal with Syria to extend their naval bases to cement Russian assets and access to the Med.
The US has recently signed a new deal to fund Israel to the tune of billions of financial aid to bolster the Israel military.
Tit for tat in terms of safeguarding ME interests.
Turkey is bent on eradicating the Kurds ... Assad has agreed to help the Kurds repel the Turks ( no idea what Putin thinks). The US is in bed with Israel and perhaps too distracted to worry about it all.
I'm amazed Assad has time to worry about his own Civil War with all this going on in Syria.
