Russia didn't care about Syria , they cared about their only remaining base in middle east , if they believed the cannibals could be trusted to leave their bases there alone , I doubt they would have entered Syria conflict. and I believe if at the time our drone programs was as advanced as now , I mean we had strike capabilities in adequate number , we would have enticed them to enter Syria
At the end of the day, what does it matter why they joined in on Syria? Fact is the potential was there and it came to pass. Whereas European regimes are enemies to Iran because they're vassals of the US and the zionists, plain and simple. With them there's no potential for deeper constructive ties especially at the geostrategic level. There's just no comparison here, really.
Besides, Russia cared more than just about their base. Had the terrorists taken over Syria, the Resistance Axis would have faced an existential threat and could have ended up getting dismantled. Which would have removed the only counterweight to the US empire in a region of such tremendous import as West Asia.
And Russia would not have considered it in its interests if the zio-American empire extended its hegemony over the entirety West Asia, straddling Russia's southern flank. Moreover, although Russia failed to stop NATO in Libya, they were highly irritated at the west's intervention there. But they lacked the resources to prevent it all alone. In Syria however they've had a partner, namely Iran and allies, hence why they dared to enter the fray.
The question whether the Syrian opposition may have allowed Russia to maintain its naval base is a non-starter, since the west, whose directives these oppositionists follow, is hostile towards Moscow. This very fact means that Iran and Russia have a major shared concern justifying rapprochement: a common existential foe. Like it or nor, geopolitical circumstances happen to bring Russia and Iran immanently closer than Iran and the EU will ever be.
So again, we can take issue with Moscow's reliability all we want, but let's not make it appear as if Russia's the enemy state while European NATO regimes aren't, for this would amount to turning reality on its head.
