Russia’s Shift: From Syria to Africa

Scott Ritter: “The mission of the Russian forces was to preserve Bashar Al Assad's regime. They have failed and, now Russia has to deal with the consequences. But it's not a strategic defeat for Russia.”

“I can't speak for the Russians, but I would say that I wouldn't be surprised If Russia decided that Syria just wasn't Worth the effort anymore. and that they will go focus on what is becoming a primary focus of effort, which is the Africa Corps.”
