I think it's about Putin telling America to step aside and let him reign.
He can have the middle east
He has formed an international coalition with a common goal. If it slows ISIS down significantly, Putin gets the credit. He becomes the big dog, and America takes a seat in the international arena militarily. Then he gets to sit at the head of the financial table as well because he's already laid that foundation.

And, why do you think the United States was in the Middle East anyway? Because it's pretty? No, for strategic purposes and because of its resources.

Syria is not the whole of the middle east. The wealthy states of the middle east are still American allies. Putin holding influence in Syria means next to nothing in the grand scheme. Not to mention dropping bombs doesn't bring influence. Unless he's putting boots on the ground, it means nothing. No one is going to beat ISIS by only dropping bombs.

I think you guys are being somewhat small minded on this issue. This is far beyond ISIS..

This is part of Russia mid-long term goal, to reunite with Asia. Don't think, they aren't in talks with China, in which the US is in debt too...

Quote:
 
“Russia’s New Asia Strategy: Assessing Russia’s Eastward Pivot”
November 14, 2012
Russia, driven by its own modernization, has pursued a “neo-mercantilist” strategy in Asia.
Russia’s goal is to establish itself as a power capable of producing outcomes in the spheres of regional
integration, development, and security. Thus, Russia’s engagement with Asia is tied to its desire to move
beyond the status of an energy superpower. In pursuit of this goal, Russia has prioritized bilateral ties
with states in the Asia-Pacific and deepened its engagement with regional multilateral institutions.
Russia’s current APEC chairmanship and the 2012 APEC summit in Vladivostok served as an
unprecedented opportunity to further this agenda.


Now, tell me, who is it, that the US, will just not mess with? China has so many people, losing 10 million in a fight will be a rounding error in the population.

Russia, to me, is attempting to become the brother to China, why not, it's a smart move!!

Why do you think "coalition" means Syria? :blink:
