>he (Putin) needs Tartous
Today, for sure. But back in 2015 that meant nothing to Putin. His hands were full with the 0bama/Biden/Nuland/McFall gang, their coup d'etat in Kiev. Their attacking The Donbass, sending their Right Sector goons to Crimea (the citizens of Crimea with hand tools were waiting for them at the Central Station in Sevastopol. The goons got off the train before it entered Crimea).
Then the same coup d'etat plan started up in Syria. Plus, Herr Mueller had already hand delivered Putin a sample of enriched uranium (U1) on a tarmac in Moscow. No, Putin had some serious shit gong on. He knew things were about to go to hell.
Then Putin got lucky. We got lucky. All the patriots of the world got lucky. A miracle came from the Heavens on the night of 08 November 2016. It took a while. But here we are, going on 4 years later. #What a Wonderful Time to Be Alive.
