No. Tartus was not even close to being lost.
It was essentially when Syria requested the assistance.
Russia probably wanted to "freeze" the issue in the ukraine, before intervening directly in Syria, in order not to be involved in two different fronts at the same time.... one thing is providing support, another thing is taking directly part at the confrontations.
Should they actually need to do a direct intervention in Armenia, I hope that before that they ask for pashinian's head and they do a proper purge of all his supporters, clients and providers..

Not really the place to discuss it, but what people don't realize is that the Kremlin elites are very anti-intervention.
We've had three decades of the US and NATO running amok around the world killing people and I'd wager the majority of the Kremlin elites are still pro-western relations.
It's a structural disease, all these people come from the 90s when the west was hailed as heaven itself and money was the only thing that mattered. The only reason Russia even exists is that members of the security services, including Putin himself got enough influence to stabilize the situation.
Christ has anybody heard of the recent ministry of finance suggestion? Reduce forces by 100000, make contract soldiers pay for uniforms and food outside of combat and exercises, reduce pensions and limit access to military mortgage options. There are literal traitors to the Russian state at work in every level of government.
The intervention in Syria took so long because the situation had to get bad enough that we could have a massive terrorist state 100/200km from our borders if we didn't intervene. Only that made the elites move.
The Donbass thing was a disaster because the elites thought they could still find some way to deal and get their sweet moneymaking on in the west if they held back. Even though geopolitically that was the most retarded out of
all the available options.
I would be very, very surprised if anything serious were to be done by our government in the area. It's clear the government wants to keep playing peacemaker and that Pasha's EU d^$k sucking has had some really negative results for the geopolitical security of his nation, because Moscow isn't just gonna take his bs lying down.
If the Russian government was properly looking out for the interests of the Russian federation, we would have squeezed that retard dry the moment he reared his stupid head.
