Syria like Iran caused mischief when US troops were in Iraq, furthermore, Syria aids in terrorism and support of Hezbollah who are fighting in Syria and Hamas.
Assad brought this mess on, hard to see his 12% minority ruling any more than a rump land. ISIS already has a 3rd of Syria, I doubt if the Russians are going to fight for that 3rd.
Syria would not have had to use “barrel bombs” if the Russians were helping them so much. That’s pretty primitive to have to use if the Russians were helping them with hi-tech weaponry.

Now, the latest is that Putin says Assad is ready to share power with “healthy opposition”.
