One twist, according to Martin Armstrong, is that one of the motives to attack Assad's Syria was that there was a pipeline planned from Qatar to Europe which apparently needed to go through Syria. The pipeline would have competed with Russian oil/gas going to Europe and so would have weakened Russia. Another possible reason for Russia to assist Assad.
