The Russian president, Vladimir Putin, has declared that he is withdrawing the majority of Russian troops from Syria, saying the intervention had largely achieved its objective.

Suggest that -
In Syria the Russians are vulnerable to a really pissed off Turkey. They are in a better position to lean on the Turks from Armenia.
This whole foreign intervention thing is expensive, and Russia is feeling the pinch of low oil/gas prices.

This is bad news for the US. Putin didn’t completely finish off ISIS, so Obama will re-arm them and they will grow stronger than ever before. Obama must be pleased as punch.

Exactly. We use to do that before all this nation building crap and trying to win the hearts and minds of people who hate us.

Ukraine next?
Russians still can not find “Ukrainian separatists” under masked Putin’s thugs.
Ukrainian speaking citizens of Siberia’s Gulags are getting ready to break away from Russia.
Deeeeveloping!

Losing a commanding position on the European natural gas market is even more expensive. The Saudis want to build a pipeline through Syria and into Europe.

Plus, ice-free port on the Med.

I'm no Putinista, but it seemed to me that all the Russians were doing was wasting the murderous crazies that we wouldn't, and pissing off Erdogan- which I understand. They weren't messing with the Israelis or doing anything seriously sketchy that I'm aware of.

It’s not finished until there are 0 left. Cut off one head and Soetoro will feed the new ones.
