The underlying root cause in Syria and other Mediterranean hot spots is the goals of Russia wanting to establish a permanent presence in a warm water port for world domination. At present they have no port of their pwn which does not freeze over in winter. The cost in lives is irrelevant to their goals.
Oil as well as other resources are also being exploited. It's all about the same old narrative of money and power and while such powers exist, there can be no peace...
This is a new slant on the situation, and may indeed at least in part explain Russia's interest in involvement in those theaters of conflict.
It would seem a little easier to aim for the Black Sea - but I do see the bottleneck on the way to the Mediterranean to be a potential problem.
Thank you for sharing this. Its a whole other kettle of fish that frankly deserves its own topic. :c)
