Russia and Iran totally humiliating semi-retired President Obama. This is the result of President Obama's brilliant strategy of LEADING FROM BEHIND. The bad guys fill the vacuum and rub our nose in it a the same time. Progressives are dancing in the street.
CBS: Russia’s succeeding in keeping Assad in power — and so is Iran

It’s been a pretty good year for Iran and Russia, no? The US and the West will unfreeze long-held Iranian assets and end sanctions against the regime without any requirement to end its support for terrorism, allowing the Iranian mullahs to build a much stronger economy to support even more terrorism. Their main beneficiary of their terror proxies, Syria’s Bashar al-Assad, has a much greater chance of surviving his civil war now that Vladimir Putin gets to act like the leader of a bona fide superpower, too. Russia has launched cruise missile strikes in support of its air campaign, and the Syrian army has moved forward 70 kilometers into territory held by rebels for months:

From CBS News:
Russia is launching cruise missiles as part of a coordinated ground and air attack with the Syrian regime, and CBS News correspondent Holly Williams says after four years of deadly civil war, the Russian campaign may be tipping the balance in favor of the regime. …
More than a week after it began launching airstrikes in Syria, Russia seems to be reasserting itself as a superpower.
Protected by the Russian air cover, Syrian regime troops have pushed into rebel strongholds in the country’s northwest.
“Today the Syrian armed forces started a wide-scale attack aimed at uprooting terrorists’ gatherings and liberating the areas and towns which have been suffering of the woes and crimes of terrorism,” Syria’s Chief of the General Staff of the Army and Armed Forces, Gen. Ali Abdullah Ayoub, said Thursday.
Ayoub said the Russian strikes had “reduced the fighting capacity of the terrorists,” without elaborating.
