Russia is
presumably aware of the

Hezbollah. Iran will be isolated. Once Iran falls, there is little else
left beyond Russia itself. Putin will then see the increase of terrorism
in Russian territories and a greater push east by NATO in Ukraine. In

Syrian people, it should not be romanticized that the Russian government
is simply sitting at home watching the crisis unfold, overcome with
