...safe journey.
I do not see Putin doing anything overt, he’s too crafty for that. I do see him letting Obambi get confused and make one or more mistakes that will humiliate him and the USA though.
You mean normal Obama behavior, eh?
I still think Putin might strongly warn the U.S. against any action not approved by the U.N. Security Council (where Russia has veto power.) This stymies Obama, most likely, making him and the U.S. look impotent. If Obama attacks anyway, then Putin has all sorts of options, the most extreme being a Brit ship goes to the bottom. A little lower on the scale, Putin could simply send a big arms shipment to Assad.
Agreed.
