I cannot make any sense out of this. Syria is not important enough to either country to go to nuclear war over.
Nothing Obama is doing in the middle east that I have heard of ought to be more than an irritant to Russia.
Where’s the beef?

Nuclear weapons are not to be used. They are about intimidation.
Seems to me that Pooty-Poot thinks he can gain some advantages by intimidating the yellow-bellied coward in the White Hut.
It's not about Obama. In fact, it was the Obama administration who (deliberately) strengthened Russia's hand, as they (the O admin) simultaneously all-but decimated OUR military. It's about Russia taking advantage of the willing dupe to make their long-awaited comeback. They seek to eventually grab control of the strategic oil/gas-rich Middle East. That in addition to what they're doing in Eastern Europe and elsewhere, such as their stepped-up arming of hostile leftist regimes in Latin America.

RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil -- Russia's push into Ukraine has put many on edge. But less known is that Russia is also strengthening its military links south of the Rio Grande and re-establishing itself as a power in the region.
Vladimir Putin has been strengthening military links here, and Russia is now the largest arms dealer to governments in Latin America, surpassing the United States.
Russia has even floated the possibility of building new military bases in Cuba, Venezuela and Nicaragua, and putting its warships permanently in the Caribbean.
In the midst of the Ukraine crisis, Russia's top diplomat Sergei Lavrov recently visited Cuba, Peru, Chile, and Nicaragua, where he announced that Russia would also pour money into the new Central American canal project. ..."

Russia agreed to provide military training for three leftist regimes in Latin America and increase military visits and exercises following a visit last week to the region by Moscow's Defense Minister Sergei Shoygu, Pentagon officials said.
Shoygu met with defense and military leaders in Cuba, Venezuela, and Nicaragua and signed several agreements on warship visits and military training during the visit, which ran from Feb. 11 to 14. It is not clear whether any new arms deals were completed during the visit.
Defense officials said the Russian leader is seeking bases in the region for strategic bomber flights that Shoygu recently promised would include flights over the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean.

Hopefully, it's just Vlad getting in some major slap downs on Barky. Thing is, our Terrorist in Chief might bite in order to complete his goal to destroy the US.
