> will stay under our control how is russia going to exercise this control without putting thousands of soldiers on the ground (with all the logistics that entails)? and why even take the risk of opening up another front with a long and brittle supply line (mostly by air since i doubt turkey would allow supplies to go via bofors) when ukraine is still going on? what does russia even have to lose? tartus is a glorified refueling station. much more has been invested in khmeimim air base, but "good money after bad" is not a good excuse to stay. > screen it if you want. done.
