Good point. Especially if Putin senses that Americans are waking up (finally) and the pendulum is about to swing the other way.

A Turkish general reported said, on being admitted to NATO, that the problem with being allied with the Americans is that you never know when they are going to turn around and stab themselves in the back.

Russia, Iran and Syria all have a vested interest in a high/higher oil price. SA is pumping like mad to keep the prices down. There must have been some inkling that a ME war was coming.
