On the other hand Putin has publicly stated he is not an advocate for the Assad Government nor of Assad....rather when Russia entered the Syrian War Egypt wasn't stable, nor Libya, Yemin, Tunsia, Iraq, nor Afghanistan....pretty much the entire ME was unstable, as predicted by many would happen,.....So why would any expect Putin would sit and watch the same thing happen to Syria?
It just seems like Putin has to go around and constantly mop up the toppled regimes of terrorists after Hillary and Obama
topple them by supporting proxy use of terrorists and or supplying the Muslim brotherhood or Saudi in doing so.
He's fighting terrorism while their using them......fro the get-go Assad made clear the war was escalating because of Islamic terrorists entering the country.....and that because of the deranged minds of the Islamists who believe Syria war would fulfill their Estagolical Dreams...and which the Muslim Brotherhood promotes heavily knowing it will incite fighters to go there. Putin's not going to let Syria go into the hands of the Islamists as we've seen happen in many other nations from the so called Arab Spring.....he's got enough to contend with them in his own country....and the conflicts with in his other border countries.
“and that because of the deranged minds of the Islamists who believe Syria war would fulfill their Eschatological Dreams.”
There’s truth to that, there’s a village in Syria that features prominently in Islamic/Twelver eschatology. Dabiq.
