Putin Is Struggling to Keep His Wars Separate
The troops who died in Syria are called mercenaries, not heroes. Will the Russian people buy that?
Late on Feb. 7 and early on Feb. 8, U.S. forces in Syria likely
killed
the greatest number of Russians since the end of the Cold War -- more than 200 soldiers. There will, however, be no international repercussions, nor will any of the Russians get posthumous medals like
Roman Filipov
, the fighter pilot who was shot down over Syria earlier this year and resisted capture until he was forced to blow himself up with a hand grenade.
