Proxy war in Middle East is something Putin wanted as he joined forces with Iran and after bringing Assad under his belt. To me this is the real revelation of how far downhill things have gone.
Unfortunately, the “real” Russia conflict is overshadowed by the “fake” election stuff. Playing devil’s advocate here: Trump should not have been so complimentary of Putin while on the campaign trail.
