The best outcome would be for the Syrians to overthrow

Not likely now that Russia has stepped in. Russian troops are on standby. Russian aircraft carrier group parked at Tantos, Syria. The resistance quarter of Homs is being shelled flat.

They will not allow Syria to fall. Besides they would like to see how all those shiny new weapons they sold Syria work in combat - big money and all, you know.

NATO (the US) cannot step in, short of starting a shooting war with Russia.

The Syria Army has rallied and recommited to Assad. Rogue elements have been “marginalized”.

Russian troops are on standby? That’s an incredible development if true?
They back Assad but that’s pretty extreme. I’d expect Iran to send in troops before Russia.

Aircraft carrier? What will they do with that? LOL
