Russians don't really give a fuck about the Middle East at all. They have oil, they want to stop using oil and turn to electric cars and renewables.

Russians hear "ISIS bombed Russian plane" Russians say "Why the fuck are we wasting time in the Middle East". They don't realize that America will send ISIS to Russia once Assad is taken care of.

Really? That seems very far fetched...Do you really believe that the U.S. has that kind of control over ISIS. IF ISIS were to defeat Assad why would they care what the U.S. wanted or asked? Is it more likely that they would become an instant enemy and Major threat to the U.S if they were to succeed in toppling Assad? Also its cold in Russia, many of their fighters would simply defect or leave as soon as the demoralization of battle and weather set in. Russia is not easily defeated, and would never go the route of Germany, as we can see from simply looking at their history...
