Russia under the leadership of Vladimir Putin is seeking to restore part of its international role and influence, lost during the wake of the collapse of the Soviet Union. Russia is seeking to benefit from the US disinclination to intervene directly in regional conflicts, although it is aware of the difficulty of crossing American redlines in a region the US considers part of its sphere of influence. Therefore, Russia's intervention in Syria and elsewhere accommodates these redlines, to avoid any direct clash with the Americans. It is in this context that Russia is cultivating close political, economic, and military ties with Iran, Turkey, Syria, Iraq, Egypt, and other nations. It is possible for the Russian role to evolve within the limits of what can be achieved. Meanwhile, despite the stated willingness shown by the US President-elect Donald Trump to cooperate with Russia, his pragmatic character and the nature of his Republican base could pressure him to be more assertive of US power.
