It has been the dream of every Russian Tsar since Peter the Great to take Constantinople the Bosphorus and the Dardenelles. Putin is no different.

Putin has already threatened to stage a coup in Turkey and install a puppet government. So, his war in Syria serves a two-fold purpose (at least): prop up his puppet regime in Syria to keep the Iran-Syria-Hezbollah axis alive, and bait Turkey into actions that will justify a Russian takeover.

Once those are accomplished, I believe Israel is the next target.
