Part . . .





. . . of the plan . . . now that he's helped make America 'great again' (meaning distracting us by encouraging squabbling about football players, civil war statues, transgender folks in the service etc.), Putin is getting on with what is important to him. . .



(from http://www.theweek.co.uk/89872/how-vladimir-putin-became-the-middle-east-s-power-broker)
". . . Vladimir Putin has staked his claim to be a Middle East power-broker after pushing world leaders to agree a lasting peace in Syria.

The Russian president hosted his Syrian counterpart and ally Bashar al-Assad in the Black Sea resort of Sochi on Monday. The meeting with Assad, only the second time the Syrian leader has travelled abroad since the civil war started more than six years ago, “was apparently staged carefully to show off Putin’s claim to be the new power-broker in the Middle East”, says The Times.

 Russian state-media says the Russian president will talk to international leaders with influence over the conflict, among them US President Donald Trump, Saudi Arabia’s King Salman and the leaders of Iran and Turkey in the next 48 hours.

Today, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Iranian President Hassan Rouhani, whose countries back opposing sides in the Syria conflict, will travel to Russia for a three-way meeting with Putin.

This is a remarkable turn-around for Assad, who has faced intense international pressure to stand down, and a triumph of diplomacy and military strength from Putin.

Russian forces, who began their invention in Syria two years, have been widely credited as turning the tide in Assad’s favour and to underscore their importance Assad praised military leaders in Sochi for “defending the territorial integrity of [his] country”. . ."
