Putin’s Interest
Almost everything that happens in Syria in recent years depends on
Vladimir Putin, and he is the one who says the last word. Putin’s interest in
Syria is that Assad stay, and not because it could be worse without him,
rather because without Assad, Russia loses its control in Syria and Iran.
Even when Trump attacked Syria, it looked like he was careful not to hurt
the Russian interest too much. When Obama was the president, he thought
that Putin wouldn’t manage to survive in Syria for a long time, but not
only did he survive, he also managed to keep (lit. leave) Assad with him.
