IMO, Putin manuvered the dope into a real corner. If he strikes, he is the international law breaker. If he does not, he looks like a blustering idiot. The dope will probably save face by declaring this was his idea all along but he will remain vigilent and if the transfer does not take place (logistically impossible to do anyway), he will strike at it. So, the ball will be back in the dopes court so to speak but whatever he does, he will look like the dope he is. Meanwhile, Putin leaves him politically weaker in the US BUT still in charge of taking apart the US from within. Putin accomplishes his strategic goal, removing the US from the playing field.
Meanwhile, CNN was encouraging Obama, (through Van Jones) to declare a “Great Victory!” because Putin offered to take the weapons.
And, if you disagree that Obama’s Syria moves were brilliant, you must be a RACIST!!!
