I'm surprised, too. Cole's article points out the recent deal with Russia for intelligence sharing and use of airspace over Iran and Iraq to assist Assad.
I would think that would have the MSM howling. It actually seems like a big deal to me.For as long as Russia’s military operations in Syria continue, it will have to rely on the cooperation of Iran and Iraq. As a result, it will have to be more sensitive to these countries’ demands for diplomatic and military support.
This Russian support, in turn, will strengthen the regional position of Iran and its allies in Iraq
