Having stripped the Islamic State of an offensive capability and liberated Syria from the Washington-supported terrorists, Russian President Vladimir Putin has now shifted to diplomacy. Analysts think it is a big risk for Moscow to trust the neocon-infested U.S. government, but if the ISIS renews the conflict with support from Washington, Putin’s retention of air and naval bases in Syria will allow Russia to resume military operations.
In particular, there are about 18 Russian warplanes, gunships, artillery and tanks in a Syrian airdrome today. Russian troop strength totals some 3,500 there.
According to politologist Paul Craig Roberts, Vladimir Putin has also demonstrated that, unlike Washington, Moscow is able to achieve decisive military results in a short time without Russian casualties and to withdraw without becoming a permanent occupying force. In fact, the Syrian government has won back 392 populated localities from the Washington-supported terrorists, thanks to Russian military aid. At present, Assad’s army occupies 10,140 square kilometers of territories in Syria.
