One might add to the
suggested objectives listed at the end of this interesting blog entry
from Carnegie Moscow that Russia is now the only great power with a hand
on the spigot from which refugee flows are destabilizing the EU.

The Levada Center, a Moscow-based polling
organization, has conducted surveys on Russian public opinion about the
crisis in Syria since 2013. In September, shortly before the Russian
military started airstrikes against anti-Assad forces in northern Syria,
Levada found that 65 percent of Russians favored providing diplomatic
support to Syria, while 55 percent favored giving humanitarian aid to
the country. Twenty percent opposed providing diplomatic support, and 29
percent opposed giving humanitarian aid. Survey participants were
divided evenly on whether to supply arms and economic support, and
strongly opposed military intervention and refugee assistance. http://carnegie.ru/eurasiaoutlook/?fa=61583&mkt_tok=3RkMMJWWfF9wsRonva3NZKXonjHpfsX57uQsW6Sg38431UFwdcjKPmjr1YIERMV0aPyQAgobGp5I5FEIQ7XYTLB2t60MWA%3D%3D
