I really wouldn't add Syria's recognition as anything that matters in the big picture, everyone knows our government are Russian slaves with a very weak economy and army.So Syria is going to recognize these new independent states in support of Russia. I wonder if we will see some kind of anti-west alliance come out of this?
Iran
North Korea
China
Syria
Some kind of trade and business agreements to counter sanctions?
I have no idea but Putin didn't sound rational and I'm not sure he is stopping at Ukraine
