Query: Had the Americans treated Russia with a bit of respect at the end of the cold war, instead of boastful triumphalism and pushing NATO up against its borders, there might not be this push to re-assert Russia's status as a world power. There are other factors as well. The US defeated and ultimately destroyed the Soviet Union in their proxy war in Afghanistan and the Russians haven't forgotten that. Syria is their chance to turn the tables and humiliate America.
