Sadly for Assad, the world had changed since 1989. And Russia is not so powerful, as it used to be.

BTW: foreign investors are withdrawing their assets from Russia, since Georgia crisis.

The question of economy is a very important one here. One of the biggest reason why Assad is knocking on every one’s door is because he is running out of money to run his country. He might as well try and get the best bargain now, because later on, he is likely to get much less.

I think this guy is trying to balance the equation of power in Middle East. If Poland can house US defence system then surely Syria can do the same with Russian defence system. After all, if the equation of power is balanced in the Middle East, the future wars will start on equal grounds as opposed to right now where the Israel’s have all the modern warfare and the Palestinians and Hezbollah only have either sticks and stones or old left over ammunition which can still give Israel a run for their money.

I think the US should drive this guy out of power. He is no real partner for peace. He just wants to play everyone.
