They're ramping up all the stakes (in public) on both sides. Tough talk. Hard stances.

Eventually we have to do something to avoid an all out 1:1 war with Russia. Hmmmm....what could help alleviate that threat.

I know...I know...I know.... Pick me, pleeeeeease....

Putin will agree to stop support Assad (who he never really like except for the fact that we hated him so much). In return for their cooperation in Syria, it's only right that we lift sanctions.

Mark the date - before this is over, Russia gets the sanctions lifted. That's what this is all about.
