> these weren’t wars they were minor redeployments of resources

There have been 470,000 casualties in Syria. For comparison, that’s more than the US suffered in WW2, and that loss was felt. It’s a colossal humanatarian disaster and very much a war.

i was referring just to russian deployments not to the whole mess. i agree about the whole thing being a disaster, a total clusterf.

russia didn't need to do to much due to all the efforts of the 4+ sides fighting each other.
