Iran does not follow Putin's instructions in the middle east, unless it is in her interest. I am noticing that sometimes you take what these people like Putin say literaly and think world politics happens in a linear fashion with no surprises, compromises or tradeoffs?Russia saved assad? bro, you are TOO SIMPLISTIC. Who gave lives for Assad to survive?? Syrian army and Iranian personnel gave the most lives, so at worst, Iran will take a "negotiated settlement" before exiting. You think Iran lost all this money and lives(which you accept is true)to just vacate Syria which is right next to Israel and has a great geopolitical position in the middle east? Daddy America hasnt even succesfully bullied Iran in the middle east talk less of Russia with 5K soldiers(and struggling to logistically support them over long distance)only? you're a dreamer! IRI is a "useful idiot"? ha ha, is that what US said when Quds force officers were dying during the Iraq war? how did that turn out? Can i tell you the difference? you are correct on paper, but i will be correct in reality.Every country and proxy that fought in syria- Russia, Syrian govt, Turkey, US all spent their national treasuries, so that point is irrelevant. Iran spent more but is geting a win at the end,while some spent alot, and are about to be declared the losers. Israel didnt show any restraint because of ":understanding" Russia,because ISrael had done over 100 strikes in syria already, so pls thats bullcrap to say that. ISrael too is afraid of a regional war, since her state's existence will be threatened and no ABM defence in the ME can stop sejjils. facts! Russia offcourse doesnt care about IRI's grand plans, but she will care about IRI's leverage in the middle east. You conveniently forget how much Iran was helping Assad BEFORE the Russians showed up. Iran will get every dollar invested back. Bet your last dollar on it. I am only arguing with you because you have VERY LOW understanding of how clever Iran is in the middle east. Iranian forces ARE the Syrian army,because can Assad even fight of these "foreign forces"that saved his a**? No he cant. he's beholden to them and must pay them their dues. Niether America nor Russia can save him from that.You only have to listen to what Putin said today about the need for all foreign forces to leave Syria. Russia is the real master here; they saved Assad and his regime; they have the upper hand here. IRI was the 'useful idiot' that paid for the regime's financial obligations using Iranian people's treasure.
At the end of the day Assad cares more about his own skin than IRI's "hurt feelings". Also, you need to take into consideration the restraint that Israel has shown out of an "understanding" with Russia - we don't bomb Assad's core military assets in return for IRI's eventual exit. Russia doesn't care about IRI or her "grand" plans. Russia cares about her own geopolitical gains, and right now they are standing tall for saving Assad's skin.
