masked men wearing military attire and wielding assault rifles stop motorists and protect anti regime protests their presence so close to the capital is astonishing in tightly controlled syria and suggests the assad regime may either be losing control or setting up a trap for the fighters before going on the offensive residents of damascus reported hearing clashes in the nearby suburbs

russia s defiance of international efforts to end syrian president bashar assad s crackdown on protests is rooted in a calculation that it can keep a mideast presence by propping up its last remaining ally in the region and has nothing to lose if it fails the kremlin has put itself in conflict with the west as it shields assad s regime from united nations sanctions and continues to provide it with weapons even as others impose arms embargoes but moscow s relations with washington are already strained amid controversy over u s missile defense plans and other disputes and prime minister vladimir putin seems eager to defy the u s as he campaigns to reclaim the presidency in march elections it would make no sense for russia to drop its support for assad said ruslan pukhov head of the independent center for analysis of strategies and technologies he is russia s last remaining ally in the middle east allowing it to preserve some influence in the region moscow may also hope that assad can hang on to power with its help and repay moscow with more weapons contracts and other lucrative deals and observers note that even as it has nothing to lose from backing assad it has nothing to gain from switching course and supporting the opposition russia has crossed the rubicon said igor korotchenko head of the center for analysis of global weapons trade he said russia will always be marked as the patron of the assad regime regardless of the conflict s outcome so there s little incentive to build bridges with the protesters the u n estimates that more than 5 400 people have been killed since the uprising began in march russia will be seen as the dictator s ally if assad s regime is driven from power it will mean an end to russia s presence said fyodor lukyanov editor of the
