      From Uk not US so dont know the specific legislation / rules but I recall back in 2016 General Flynn got in lots of trouble (Hatch act violation claims I think) for meeting with foreign officials before being officially in his new role for which he was nominated (*I think).*

      This time round there are loads of stories about various future officials meeting with foreign dignitaries etc. i assume no issue for Trump since he was previously a president and now president elect, but all these Special advisors / future secretaries etc….is this not the case anymore?

      in regards to OP post, as it says, facts will show, but seems like a risky gamble from Moscow….give up Assad now and then hope get return back via Ukraine. What if they turn around and go “sorry what deal” kinda thing.

      I imagine more than likely Moscow expects to be able to keep its basis there (Guantanamo style scenario) and decided that the cost of propping up Assad was more than it was worth it. If Iraq, Lebannon and Iran didn’t care to prop him up either then whats the point

    2. The US doesn’t need permission from Russia to meddle in the Middle East. The rebel offensive in Syria is another case of Biden trying to accomplish his objectives before Trump ushers in another 4 years of peace.

      Russia is simply not in a position to counter it this time around.

      Ukraine was just a money funnel for when they lost Afgan. Most new a year into it that if Trump ever got back into that office the Ukraine conflict would suddenly make peace, that is if Biden hadn’t pushed Putin to use more aggressive measures before that. One step closer to a one world government. ME’s only backstop seems to be Iran.

    4. Ukraine is being decimated regardless of media reports. Government collapse in Syria means Russia will have to provide more assistance or get out. This benefits the Israelis, and further endangers Ukraine.
