The Syrian rebels are Mohammedan Brotherhood and Al-Qaeda? Backed by Saudi Arabia?
Assad is secular, Christian protector, ally of Iran.
Why again are Rooskies backing their southern flank Assad? They have enough trouble in the south Caucasus.

They have enough trouble in the south Caucasus.Your question is the answer: Putin would rather fight - and slaughter - jihadists in Syria than in the Southern Caucusus. He won't be sending troops there to nation build, but to break things and kill people.
Putin is corrupt as heck, but he does understand the real world about 1,000,000,000 times better than obastard...

I agree — Assad isn’t a saint, but he’s the lesser of two evils...
