The Russians are hardly about to attack the US because Assad asks nicely.
The Russians are not at their cold war height. They are a UK level military now.
They are in no way a relevant competitor to the US military might.
Syria have asked Russia to be their guest to attack 'terrorists', Syria can ask Russia to close Syrian airspace and deny the 'allies' access.
If Russia were to agree, the US&A (with submissive allies) would be foolish to fly in a SA-21/ SU-34 defended environment. The US&A would not risk a conflict with Russia over Syria, it's not worth it. Putin knows that, Assad knows it and Obama too. Russia would get to keep their Syrian ports and regional influence.
I'm sure someone of your limited intellect can follow that possible scenario.
Apologies for any grammatical errors, currently on my phone. 😉
