At best, it would have some positive impact in Ukraine.

Well, they'll probably do a lot against IS, but the civilian casualties will probably be high.

They will, probably, do even more against the pro-US anti-Assad groups.

In any case, Putin, as is common for him, is simply implementing the old (anti-)Soviet jokes. They used to ask: "How to get our troups from Czechoslovakia without losing prestige?" The proper answer was: "Through Romania".

Hm. Given the first day of Russian action, it seems that the best we can hope for in this case is that the additional waive of refugees caused by it will not be too large.

Gentlemen, relax. These are the early days. Russians can be counted on making a bloody mess of anything they touch. Give them a bit more time Smiley
