#2  5,000 Hezzies, or "50,000"???

Russia, + by extension also read the Russian, Greek Orthodox Churches, want to keep Radical Islam isolated AMAP AFAP ALAP. Their priority is to keep Baby Assad in power, i.e. the "Status Quo" aka "Working wid the Devil You know", even it means appearing to side wid Iran.

DESPITE ANTI-US, WESTERN RHETORIC TO THE CONTRARY, RUSSIA WILL NOT TOLERATE ANY NUKE-ARMED HEZBOLLAH OR ISLAMIST SHARIA PROXY OR "ROGUE" STATE IN SYRIA. IMO Russia will militarily invade Syria first before it allows such to happen.
