Russian forces deploy at Syrian border under new accord with Turkey

Russia will negotiate this better because of their different set of sensibilities. They are looking for what they can get out of this, pure and simple. Turkey and Syria are just tools to accomplish their goals of broader influence, irritating the US and possibly a source of income that allows them to work around sanctions. Where will that income come from? Not sand. I don't see any good coming from this.

Has anyone stopped to think about this? Russia supports the current Syrian Government. Then in turn they support another country invading the same country. It's like having an affair while married then inviting the 3rd to sleep in the same bed at the the time with the spouse and all is well.

Enjoy your quagmire, Russia!
