Yes, Vlad is decisive.

I have no illusions of what Russia is, but they have no trouble pulling the trigger when such things happen.

I found a very interesting article this afternoon by Maxim A Suchkov in Al-Monitor. Will be posting an excerpt from it here on FR in a moment.

“Russia’s role in Afrin depends on Turkey’s true intentions”

https://www.al-monitor.com/pulse/originals/2018/01/russia-strategy-northern-syria-kurds-afrin-sochi.html

There are things in the article that I dispute, but overall it is pretty well thought out. It shows much of Russia’s logic. Of course, it is focused upon what is in Russia’s interest.

You can make up your own mind what you think of it.

I’ll send you the link when I get it posted.
