I wonder how the Syrian war being over would effect the election in the US (since the media made Putin part of the process he might as well take advantage of the situation)
The 'trap' would be for the US to bomb ISIS as they retreat with their arms from Aleppo to other points in Syria using American warplanes painted to look like the Russian ones and that convoy led by the UN would be decimated.
The 9,000 that would be allowed to escape in Iraq would head for Syria and that would be bait for Russia and if that turned into a 'highway of death' they could claim they were unarmed when it happened and that would be a black eye for Russia on the world stage. If Russia resisted the trap then the US could bomb them using 'coalition' aircraft like they claimed in the attack on Syrian troops was a mistake.
Like under liberation from ISIS control. Wait till they get a drivers permit. lol.
