Funny!   From what "I know" Putin is well known for dumping people when they are not useful to him anymore no matter where they are in the world.   They either mysteriously disappear or mysteriously found to be seriously ill fighting for their life or worst found dead in their home.  
   
 I guess Syria will test Putin's patience and no one knows what he has in that country that he just cannot get out.   Abu Ivanka Al Amreeki has nothing either in Syria meaning no Americans getting killed.   If he is worried about people getting killed, there is plenty to fix right here.    Why go and poke your penis in another country?
