Not fighting terror, but supporting it.

And kept it afloat by buying its oil.

A country where every bookstore sells Mein Kampf.

A mistake the Syrian government is happy not to correct.

The other “occupation.”

The state of the civil war.

A quagmire for the Russians.

Divided, impoverished, and dominated by competing external powers.

Thanks to Russia, only loyalists can get humanitarian aid.

Putin may be willing to allow Bashar al-Assad to reign over a failed state.

And other security consequences for the Jewish state.
