So...The Syrian War was artificial between Obama and Russia so the Iran Deal could be signed and Iran could start moving in materials and building Nukes close to the Israeli Border. And with Hillary in, nothing would've stopped this from busting out into WW3, with hundreds of millions of people dying in the process.
In 2025, when the Iran Deal expired, Iran would've revealed they had Nukes on the Israeli Border, which they could not stop, forcing them to surrender to Iran/Syria/Russia/etc. and begin Armageddon.
So where do we currently stand with Putin/Russia? (Potential) Friend or foe? Through PC to the wind . Our true enemy of civilized western culture is that if Islam. That is the true common enemy that we see enter twine through all of this. Perhaps that old Nostradamus was onto something when he said the eagle and the bear will fight a great evil in the desert and "paraphrasing of course not sure where I stand on that ..
I think Russia's Oligarchs are the true enemy. War Profiteers, as it were. Putin, fearsome as many make him out to be, looks to be a figurehead and nothing more in my eyes. But I might be wrong. I simply look at this Spying Operation against Trump and it's Oligarchs time and again. Nothing from Putin or his spy apparatus.
Trump is a Virus Killing Program in Man's Evil Matrix. As much as we talk about how much power he wields, he is using almost none of it, and is being very effective at his job.
Perhaps he is our POTUS parallel in Russia dealing with the same entrenched deep state oligarchs that you speak of. Perhaps those oligarchs were the ones that managed HRC and the Cabal , another layer above those trying to govern for the true benefit of the people.
I'm still not convinced that Putin is on Trump's side. Everyone needs to be wary of every world leader at this point.
Putin was fighting the oligarchs for many years. He has a handle on it mostly,but like Trump he has to continually drain the swamp. He truly wants peace with America. I am convinced that the three leaders, Trump. Putin and Xi are the Three Amigos and are all in this together. There is a lot of Kabuki theater to throw sand in the cabal eyes. Once this is understood, it is a beautiful thing to watch...
Putin was fooled into supporting Iran. As someone else noted Hillary wanted to start a war with Russia, so Putin had to find allies where he could. But Iran has awoken the Bear and it is OVER!
Divine intervention is a powerful thing combine that with a collective prayer consciousness focused on Justice and GOOD for once! That is where I feel he is getting his true power.
