Russia didn't really need this Syria, believes Z-propagandist Alexander Kots. Well, yes, they killed a lot of people, spent money, but it's nothing terrible. It happens to everyone:
"I thought for a long time about where we got such a passion for self-flagellation in connection with the events in Syria. I understand [the Ukrainians]. At least they have some kind of victory. They have already stopped our offensive in the DPR. Their front near Kurakhovo and Velyka Novosyolka is not cracking. Queues at the military registration and enlistment offices. European salaries and coffee at the Vienna Opera. There is a reason to make fun of the Muscovites.
Why should we be responsible for the failure of the Syrian army in the Iranian control zone? Who were we supposed to stop the bogeymen with? Urgently transfer the 810th and 155th from the Kursk region? Paratroopers from Chasy Yar? The 24th from Pokrovsk? In my opinion, it is absolutely obvious that today our military capabilities in Syria are very limited. At the same time, intelligence warned all interested parties about everything.
Damascus after 2020, let's be honest, gradually moved away from Moscow towards Tehran. It did not create anything for us in terms of investment attractiveness. And made itself much more dependent on Iran than on Russia. At the same time, the SAR army, which was not the most motivated, degraded along with the bureaucracy, special services and economy. But for some reason, some blame our generals for the failure in Aleppo.
To a greater extent, probably, from resentment. We spent so much effort, money and lives to achieve a tangible result. And it was squandered in a matter of hours, and this process will continue. And in the current conditions, I really don’t want to be saddled with the main burden of yet another rescue of a regime that does not learn any historical lessons. We have enough of our own concerns today.
…In general, the Russian president spoke exhaustively about today back in 2015: “From now on, we are not going to be more Syrian than the Syrians themselves,” - Kotsnews.
Meanwhile the insurgent forces are burning russian flags
