The Syrian situation clearly demonstrates the import of John's body of work. The conflict history is more like Stratego than Chess. While Russians will be ever paranoid about homeland protection, their leaders emerged from WWII as, even if weakened, power brokers.
No communist nation gives primary attention to its subjects. Americans who tour Russia with stocks of Levis and Viagra can recount the clamor for the motherland unobtainables. Only time will tell if Putin took away wisdom from the Soviet Union/Berlin Wall's collapses.
Putin has a wobbly long term strategy. Bibi, however, is determined to survive. He is able to hold fast to defending his nation and making strategic offensive effective immediate strikes, a rare ability. Israel is a small nation yet a world power.
