This is really, really the last one on Putin’s press conference today, I promise. When asked whether Russia’s military presence in Syria was something that the country could afford, Putin said,
“This is the best kind of military training for us. We can train our military in Syria for a very long time without incurring high costs.”
Got it? Syria is training ground for the Russian military. Now ask yourself what the Russians are training for.
Remember that the Russian training in Syria consists mostly of bombing the Syrian Turkmen and the anti-Assad Syrians.
