Guy on Fox just reminded Tucker that Russia is only about 500 miles from Syria. I'd forgotten how close they are. But I don't know if they have any assets that close. He brought this up within context of mentioning Russia's claim that they may retaliate if there's a US strike.
Russia will shoot down Tomahawks but they're in no position to shoot planes or ships or try to hit SOF.

Yea who knows. Assad to Kurds isn’t like Saddam Hussein was to them. He actually had his army try to protect them at first but his army got wiped out. He even sent troops up recently to try and help the YPG against Turkey in Afrin but it was definitely not their better troops as most of those were in Ghouta region at that time.
Yep. I'm pretty sure the SDF's Arabs will be fine with reintegration back into Syria but I don't think Assad will do much to protect the YPG or Kurds in general with Turkey breathing down their neck. The US is protecting them in Manbij right now

Agree, makes sense.

Russia never had heavy bombers in Syria. They use Irans when they need it.

Yeah. I’m of the semi-educated opinion that Russia’s military hardware is in poor condition. They can’t afford to maintain it. They also can’t afford to make any of their shinny new toys in any meaningful numbers. And they won’t risk those valuable assets for Syria.
