why would any sensible country want to trade with Russia other than commodities. have you ever bought a TV, computer. phone, advance machines??? even China does not buy Russian goods.
military stuff another matter. Putin unloads obsolete military stuff at high prices. gets port and food cheap. no hope for stable Syria.

Russia was able to level to the ground whatever target it wished. Russian Airforce destroyed cities en masse Also killed as many people as it wished. Kill women children men .In fact anything that moved.. Isnt it ironic now that Russian Tycoons are carrying back to Moscow contracts to rebuild what they destroyed! All smiles.
WOULD USA HAVE BEEN ALLOWED TO USE THE VERY SAME TACTICS TO END ISIS AND SO CALLED REBELS of anti Assad camps.There would have been a mobilisation of the protestors like in Viet Nam War Days. Hollywood would have led the pack. The ICC would have had busy tears after. But never a whimper from the do good types.in every country.
