I think it’s a stretch to think that the Russian people will put up with their own coming home in body bags.
But it’s a good time for us to back off as there are really no good options for us, once we withdrew..
Meh. The Russian people will put up with what they are told by their government to put up with. Most likely, the majority of the Russian public will have no idea what the casualty rate for Putin’s Syria adventure is, and so will not care.
