And that Israeli Air Strike is just a very timely reminder as to who it is that actually has teeth.
It is also a reminder that the Coalition is the top dog in Syria. If Russia was so strong, they would avenge this, but Russia is trembling from dear knowing that this would mean war.
All Eussia can do is play on the feelings of those who have no clue. But when it comes to the crunch, they know who is in charge.
They also know that the Coalition can act with impunity within Syrian territory as the bluff has been called out by Israel. If they don't do anything to Israel they can't do anything to the Coalition.
So the Coalition will maintain its stake on Syrian Territory and we go from there. There is a lot less for them to negotiate for now.
We are in a land, oil and gas grab now. Watch and enjoy the show!
