Here is what a huge slap in the face is. Anyone who thinks something good happened has a screw loose.

I grew up in the Cold War era with two superpowers competing in many places.
The world today is totally different. Nobody ought to be playing superpower. It’s a multi-polar world and it’s dangerous. We should try very hard not to get involved.
America First. Russia First. Neocons Last
The Russians do not care about the country of Syria, nor do they care about the people of Syria. They care about their naval bases at Latakia and Tartus. That is all.
The (well deserved and smart) attacks by the USA and Israel in Syria will give the new terrorist regime a reason to keep the Russians in place.
This will be good as the Russians will serve as a counterbalance to Turkey and the more extreme Islamic influences.
I think Iran is the loser here, unless I got these mooslime sects mixed up and they’re really on the same team. But I don’t think they are. I read Iran had 30-50 billion (thanks Joe!) tied up supporting Assad.
Syria was home to extensive and utterly useless Russian air defense systems traded for the rent on air and naval bases.
The world learned that all that crap Russia pawned off on Assad was just that, crap.
The cream of the Iranian military leadership in Syria was systematically destroyed by the IAF. Russian troops deployed very recently to the Golan, left as soon as IDF tanks and troops showed up across the border. Russian fighters took to the air but ceased flying when buzzed by the IAF.
In Russia everybody knew that failed, drunk, and otherwise worthless officers, failed in Ukraine, were sent to Syria to hide out and maybe be rehabilitated.
Putin has supported his ally. The world is complicated. In recent years, the US State Department and CIA has been the behind the scenes puppeteer toppling governments it just didn’t like and replacing them with obedient fools, like Zelensky. In Ukraine, this US puppeteering has cost the lives of nearly 1 million Ukrainians who had no chance to win from the beginning.
The US is the country that really needs a “slap in the face” to get it to stop meddling and to do the work of defending its own border, getting its own financial house in order, restore respect for law and order, and stop pissing on the people who are productive and giving a free ride to bureaucrats and welfare types who don’t do a single productive thing.

(((PING!)))
To be added to the zeeper follies pinglist, ping me bro... we need laughter!
Anyone who thinks the new players will be an improvement is crazy. All bad, old and new.
It’s a signal for every Russian vassal state that now is the time to revolt.
The new bunch is just as much for sale as the old bunch.
I’ll take a wait and see on this one.

Congratulations! Your favorite head chopper now rules over Syria.
I know you will smile and applaud as Christians, Druze, Kurds, Alawites, women and other minorities are burned alive in cages and beheaded by the new Islamist regime. Sharia Law for everyone!
Any individual who would choose Radical Islam over Russia is evil and a psychopath.
