It seems a pointless game to be playing. From the video Putin doesn’t appear to take Obama and Hillary’s belligerence seriously.

But if they up the Syrian ante by doing something designed to provoke a reaction from Russia there is no way to predict how Putin would play it.

This was Putin speaking to Valdia group....though 2014 it is still relevant today as he generally is consistent in how he sees not just Syria but the shaping of the World.......The concerns that Putin expressed in here are still fresh and relevant today.... It's a good listen to hear where he's coming from on history, geopolitics, and international relations as they have come about since World War II from his perspective....much of which is factual. It is always wise to know what Putin is really saying....he has not deviated from this in his talks since.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mpvzKlqZoF0
