You do realise that the tactics and methods used in Syria has never changed between Obama and Trump?

Putin is simply doing what is in the best interest for Russia, nothing more nothing less.
Anyone that thinks Putin is acting outside of Russian interests for the humanitarian factor is delusional. Same goes for western countries.

Ok cool, I guess that’s why Trump hadn’t changed any part of Obama’s strategy for Syria for over a year huh?
How about thinking before you speak?

All countries first act out of self-interest, that’s generally understood.
Sometimes one's self-interest on an issue does cut across a moral issue.
We allied with Stalin in WWII out of self-interest which cut across a moral issue—defeating Hitler

Obama = losing strategy
Trump = winning strategy
The men and material didn't change, the man in charge did and the military loves it.

Better call yourself out then.
According to you an American loving Russia is fine, but an Australian commenting on it is not.

Yeah, I’m sure the military were just phoning it in while Obama was in charge because Obama, that makes perfect sense.

Syria started out as a civil war, where rebels who had enough of Assad did what so many of you Americans reckoned you wanted to do against Obama...
Problem was ISIS took advantage of all that, they’re the actual terrorists, yet according to Assad and Putin, if you stand against Assad, you’re a terrorist.
