It might be a play by Putin. He wants Trump to react, he's toying with Trump, saying "hey, you want to leave Syria, well, let's see if you can".
I think it's your fantasy, if Putin want that Trump out of Syria, he won't be play with "fire", it's like a provocation to prevent Trump from withdrawing troops from Syria. Putin - "dictator", but not an idiot.
no, Putin is an idiot. occupation of Crimea = death of ulus of juchi project
He's clearly not an idiot.
He wanted the Crimea for the warm water port without problems. Before the Russians had a Naval base in the Crimea but had to pay for it, now it's Russian.
he must understand some bases of the international juridic, right? + black sea is just a lake with the enter in the hands of NATO

United Nations General Assembly Resolution 68/262 was adopted on March 27, 2014 by the
sixty-eighth session of the United Nations General Assembly in response to the
Russian annexation of Crimea and entitled "Territorial integrity of
Ukraine". The non-binding resolution, which was supported by 100
United Nations member states, affirmed the General Assembly's commitment to the
territorial integrity of Ukraine within its internationally recognized borders and underscored the invalidity of the
2014 Crimean referendum...
The resolution was introduced by Canada, Costa Rica, Germany, Lithuania, Poland and Ukraine.
[1] The adoption of the resolution was preceded by the unsuccessful attempts of the
United Nations Security Council, which convened seven sessions to address the Crimean crisis, only to face a Russian
veto[2] of draft resolution S/2014/189,
[3] sponsored by 42 countries.
The UN General Assembly also passed the related Resolution 71/205 in December 2016, entitled "Situation of human rights in the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol (Ukraine)".
