Might Russia's precarious state compel Putin to deflect attention somehow, a la Galtieri?
Er Hardly
Russia has tiny and I mean tiny Govt debt, it runs Exports surpluses every month in the teen billions, it also has substantial FX reserves.
Putin called what he say happening in Libya and Syria and has been proven right.
West is in hock to the Gulf states because they need their cash so will bend over and let ISIS be funded by them with not a whisper nor a sanction mentioned as people are cowed into submission.
