I won't comment on corrupt and dictator, but opportunistic? Hardly. He's just protecting his interests, in a very transparent and predictable way.

He was the only one supporting Assad and warning about the "Islamist rebels" in Syria, long before the current crisis happened. Sure, he annexed Crimea, but what do you think would happen if Russia/China orchestrated a coup/revolution in e.g. Japan, where US has military bases with significant strategic importance? Do you think US would peacefully stand away?

Oh, old Russian propaganda about 'US orchestrated a coup'?

I thought it was already gone sour, but apparently some people still believe in that fairy tale.

Wait, the US effected a government change? I don't believe that has ever happened! /s
