Assad is reported to have the support of Russian combat troops with their latest armoured equipment; there is also a Russian naval base in Syria. Putting Western boots on the ground in Syria could lead to a full-scale confrontation with macho-man Putin, with incalculable consequences. How many refugees is Russia taking, by the way ? Their support of Assad is probably more directly responsible for the Syrian situation going on as long as it has than anything the West has done. The same could be said for Iran. |
