#1 Say, just for conjectural purposes of course, that things went badly for Assad and he had to STAY with the Russians for the "long term", as it were. He couldn't really expect to stay in Syria and he was aboard their Russian Cruiser and getting his breakfast coffee PERMANENTLY from the wardroom galley. No stop in Turkey, no side trip to Greece or Egypt...he's the "guest" of the Russian Navy and headed for the Black Sea and presumably a Villa in the Crimea. What's a little gold bullion among friends? Putin gets his cut and Admiral Roturkokoff gets his.

Remember the Shah? He had friends who he fell back on too. Who were they? How does the charity flow and the heart remain pure in international politics? And where did the Shah wind up...like where Assad will wind up too dontcha' know. The highly respected and beloved Shah wound up in a pay-toilet in Mexico with his bagful of downers empty and his Credit Cards cancelled.

I love watching this stuff...and they are all Moslems too. Except the Russians...and they are well.....you can expect THEM to be what they are.
