Russia could spend billions on their own oil fields. They don't need to waste money in Syria. Asswad was buying oil from ISIS until the fields were destroyed.The Russians have the money to rebuild it but now Trump is in their way.
Sorry/not sorry about your absurd conspiracy theory. This is more about hurting Assad than the Russians. There are still shots being called with the intent to damage and remove Assad—in spite, in fricking spite, of the painful lessons we have learned in the region in that regard.
If you had any sense, that would worry you more than Putin. Listen to Gabbard. She is one Democrat who has sense on this issue.
