^^ Doesn't always work out like that, does it.
Far from it.
War is never free, however one could look at the Russian involvement in Syria a well planned and executed, advertising campaign.
Shiny and rusty weapons actually performing, military forces actually achieve goals, political manoeuvrers achieving agreeable settlements instead of slaughter, training of Russian and partners military, bug fixing weapons, logistical and integration of systems. All before the worlds gasping audience.
Financial, political, status, all positive achievements for a midget country eh? All designed, manufactured by Russians in Russian factories, certified and available off the shelf. No fears of a sudden "maintenance" delay, foreign sanctions ....... which some countries renege on.
Not including in the above; Mediterranean military ports and airfields, gas/oil exploration contracts - onshore and offshore, reconstruction contracts, going forward a possible jump of Turkey to THE LORDS, Uncle Xi and Iran's camp. Israel shown as the all hat and no cattle in terms of power, it really is. ameristan's whimpering on an island surrounded by sharks they can't leave for fear of being arrested for crimes against humanity.
At what cost; a few planes, new and old weapons, a pilot or two, an orchestra and a hundred or so Russian military personnel.
The benefit; a country and it's people saved from terrorist throat slitters. Who, although backed by the very very unexceptional ameristan and European parties in all means possible, currently have achieved a big fat 0

A tray full of GOLD is not worth a moment in time.
^ Kids when you want to see an example of a brainwashed bozo this post is the poster child.
Ah I see you didn't understand my post, it is likely because your timeline is wrong.
The UN Resolution you speak of and the supply of weapons(including the supply of weapons by both the US/UK) happened after(not before) the Arab Spring I referred to in my post.
Now go back and read my post again, more slowly this time and see if you can reply with something that resonates with the historical facts which are a matter of public record.
You might need to read up here also:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Causality
Further questions:
Can you explain why the west(US/UK) didn't encourage The Arab Spring in Egypt, Palestine and Bahrain ...& why they didn't even condemn the military crackdown on the citizens of those countries?
You sound so calm and measured...
To answer your first point, the Arab spring started in Tunisia and spread East, starting at the end of 2010. The UN got involved in Syria when it was clear that the population were not going to rest and Assad was going to use his army to kill the opposition (i.e. the Sunni majority).
Putin blocked it, firstly because it's his only Mediterranean naval base, and also because Assad was one of his few friends in the Middle East.
I never said it happened before the Arab Spring. It was part of the Arab Spring. Some kids in Dara'a sprayed some slogans that they'd seen on TV in early 2011. Assad's forces went over the top, people went out to complain, Assad's forces opened fire and the country erupted. When the UN went to stop it, Russia veto'ed it.
Can I explain why the West only got involved in Libya and Syria?
Of course I fucking can. Both dictators were using their military to commit mass murder to quell the population you daft twat.
That was not the case in Egypt, Palestine, Bahrain, Jordan, Oman, Morocco or Kuwait, nor any other countries that had Arab Spring related uprisings, most of which were put down with (albeit minor) reforms (except Bahrain, but that had a Shi'a uprising long before the Arab spring).
You seem to understand neither the timeline nor the history.
This is just utterly incorrect..., but thanks for confirming just how biased and misinformed you are.
We don't have to back 10 years ago, just in the last few months hundreds of Palestinian civilians have been murdered by the Israeli military to quell the population, including nurses, journalists and children etc ...yet, not a peep from the west.
Thank goodness we've the great array of superior classed Anglo-American apologists to twist the narrative and to promote the deepest ideals of traditional boogiemen, as to justify their reasoned empire expansion - deep seated and make believe historic precedence never ends.
Mindless racketeering.
Will Russia keep the special one's, Israel, safe by keeping it's policemen guarding the Israeli borders with Syria and Lebanon forever?
The tiles were pretty awful. He probably has an Aspergillis fungal infection of the brain.

What we are seeing is mould-driven posting.
Unsurprisingly the horrific war crimes by ameristan, UK and SA continue. This time in Yemen.
Yet Another US-Saudi Massacre In Yemen: UN Condemns Airstrike Killing 22 Children
"Just two weeks after a US-Saudi coalition airstrike on a school bus in Yemen killed some 40 children in an event which finally caught international media attention, there's a new report that coalition jets have struck a camp for internally displaced people in the flashpoint region of Hodeidah.
Pro-Houthi rebel outlets were the first to report the massacre, which was quickly picked up in international media. According to reports, at least 22 children and four women were killed.
"[The victims were] dead children and women. [It was a] disgusting crime," the Houthi-run Al Masirah TV network reported Thursday. Refugees were reportedly fleeing fighting in the area area when the airstrike occurred. The BBC reports the following based on a United Nation official in the region: "The victims were fleeing fighting in the al-Durayhimi district, south of the port city of Hudaydah, when their vehicle was hit on Thursday. A separate air strike the same day killed four children, according to the UN's humanitarian chief Mark Lowcock."
The UN quickly weighing in on the attack is significant, given both Saudi and United States recent statements indicating they do not deliberately target civilians or civilian infrastructure."
After the August 9th attack on a school bus in the north of the country, which killed scores of mostly children, the Saudi coalition spokesman defended its actions as "legitimate".
The BBC continues of the heightened scrutiny regarding US-Saudi coalition war crimes in Yemen:
Mr Lowcock's statement on Friday confirmed that the victims had been fleeing violence around the rebel-held port city Hudaydah.Earlier this month, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres called for an independent and prompt investigation into Saudi coalition airstrikes on civilian targets, including the August 9 school bus attack.
He renewed calls for an impartial and independent investigation into air strikes. A report by Human Rights Watch the same day accused the Saudi-led coalition of failing to hold "credible" investigations into such incidents.
The reported attack was condemned by Unicef, Save the Children and other international organisations.
UNICEF's regional director in the Middle East and North Africa, had tweeted in the aftermath of the school bus massacre: "NO EXCUSES ANYMORE!!"

SA couldn't commit war crimes if they tried, they're mates!
