But have you also noticed that ever since Donald J. Trump has become President, things have started to calm down over there?
Yeah. I don’t know how much is him personally, how much is policy change with respect to which groups we support. I think and hope a big factor is Realpolitik with Putin. He’s going to go pretty far to get a Syria stable enough for him to have a base on the Mediterranean, but is probably flexible enough in other areas.
In particular, I don’t think Putin is particularly interested in expanding Iran’s influence. He’s allied with them, but using them, too. Of course they know that.
And, I don’t think Putin is particularly anti-Israeli, although his allies are.

No, right now, the US is using its’ proxies to steal Syria’s Oilfields. Russia killed over 850 terrorists in the past 48 hrs. You just aren’t reading about it here or seeing it covered in the media.
