[QUOTE="dude_brahmski"][QUOTE="BossPerson"]thats an interesting thought. Im not sure if Russia fine with being in a "full" proxy war with AmericaBossPerson
well
we have been pondering the idea of helping rebels
iirc we might have given them weapons already
and assad is backed and armed by russia
so it is already a hair away
and them (the russians) arming the next set of rebels after a regime change wouldn't upping the ante THAT much
but it would be a (further) escalation i think
but then again idk what options they'l actually have if assad falls, so this is all meandering speculation
i mean, i feel like they will do what they can to passively increase their influence in the region which could very well possibly be weakening a gov't that is not so favorable to them
but this is all armchair global affairs
but the US's assistance is more passive than active. Russia is going all out in helping Assad. Iran too. i meant that after a regime change that they could very well continue a passive thing
i guess by "active" i'd consider that tossing tanks on the ground
but what i am trying to say is that i dont think russia will just be all "gg;wp" after assad is gone
ofc, maybe that just means we could actively support syria against passive aggression, which would be a nice upper hand for stability
I WISH I KNEW MORE ABOUT THE VARIOUS NUANCES THOUGH
