Interesting. I wonder what Putin’s reasoning was when he funneled Russian arms to the Syrians, and the Syrians in turn were funneling them into Iraq.

He was probably thinking: What's good for Russia is good; what's bad for Russia is bad. Similarly, what's bad for Russia's competitors (EU, US, etc.) is good; what's good for Russia's competitors is bad.

The problem, as I see it, is the US is now devolving to the same calculus since "...we are no longer a Christian nation..."
