Russia is nearing an agreement with Syria’s new leadership to keep two vital military bases in the Middle East state, a key objective of the Kremlin after the fall of President Bashar al-Assad.

      I imagine similarly to how Russia normalized relations with the Taliban. They’ll just work with whoever ends up in charge when the dust settles.

        How are you keeping Russian military bases if the narrative is accurate that Israel and the USA are in control of the whole situation.

          I don’t think they’re in control of anything in practice. It’s pretty much the same situation as Afghanistan. Turkey and Israel unleashed a whole bunch of extremists to overrun the country, but now it’s going to be impossible to control them in any meaningful way.
