What will he should do regard SYRIA?(just to Stay on toppic).
Syria is attacked only ,because is allied with Russia.. nothing more and nothing less.. also because
Israel don't want any Iranian influence there.. So effectively Russia interest conflict with Israel interest there.
And since Russia don't need anything from Syria , then is a serious mistake , to become allied to Syria..
Russia is losing a lot of money in Syria and even giving S-300s air defenses for free ,since Syria can't pay them..
Syria will be today like Jordan.. or like UAE or like Qatar if it was aligned with NATO.. a nation in peace and allowed to exist.. and the war in Syria will have NOT happened , had Russia did not put their noses there.. and encouraged
Syria to imitate Jordan policies.. Hundreds of thousands lives saved.. Instead of Syria , Russia should have picked
Egypt .. allowing Russia to block NATO from suez channel in case of war.. and block Saudis Oil shipment too.
thats a much more bigger interesting target.. From Egypt Russia could have controlled the Mediterranean Sea..
Thing is any nation Russia foolish convince to join Russia alliance will be on hit list of NATO and regime change.
So Russia needs a policy that takes that into account .If Russia will become allied to a nation ,it will need to be ready to fight NATO to the ultimate consequences.. but What Russia is doing in Syria is shameful to say the least.
allowing NATO to bomb their allies left center and right.. So Not only Russia is humiliated but also is losing soldiers and on top of that ,have to give for free everything. So this is a fools policy what Putin have been doing. If he need a base for refuel.. Egypt or Mexico will have been much better. is a huge country and in a much more strategic place.
What Putin should be doing instead is hand picking its allies more carefully ,nations that it will really be worth of
fighting and of Russia sacrifice.. But Russia earns Nothing from Syria..it lose a lot of money and risking a major war for nothing.. No nation in their right mind after Syria will welcome Russia bases in their country , if it knows Russia will not defend them properly.. Russia needs to pick more carefully its allies , and aim for nations closer to Russia only.. until at least Russia economy becomes big enough to handle a counter to NATO.. with many bases around the world and with a powerful economy.
