#7 I like the sound of pulling out Assad and the WMD. I hope thats it.

If I were Putin I'd rescue Assad to show other clients that I'm behind them but there are limits. This would avoid most of my military equipment being show as poor quality against NATO equipment and it gives the loyal syrians a chance to destroy or remove a lot of equipment opening up potential future sales.

I'd also use the opportunity to arrange an oil deal and or arm sales with Turkey for my assistance in ending their headache.
