I assume they feel the same way about US troops?

I say all that big talk means doodley-squat.

The new "masters" of Syria have been doin' a whole lot of avoidin' of opposing armed groups...

Perhaps, but Syria was a client state of Russia, not the U.S. U.S. troops were never really welcome, while Russia troops had free reign. Assad was a Russia asset, and they had promised him, and Iran, that they would keep him in power.
