From appearances, Russia and China are operating in the interest of stability, which is in the interest of Russia, China, normal American productive taxpayers, Israel, and lots of other people on the planet.
Just not in the interest of the Muslim Brotherhood, World Caliphate, Marxist Utopians, or fundamental changers and wealth redistributors.
Russia will profit by building their economy and asserting more control on the petro energy market, China by resourcing more petro energy and raw materials with an eye toward Chinese "factory cities" in emerging nations.
Both the Russians and Chinese see that we will be poor competitors if they can help us keep Obama and the Rats in charge, yet disable Obama's intended World Caliphate, the biggest danger to their smooth rise to world economic dominance.
If there's ever been a conflict we should STAY OUT OF, it's the one in Syria.
Egypt, Libya, Algeria, as well. Russia and China learned, Zero is running out of luck.
