My take on it is that the US is now trying to counter-escalate, in order to neutralize Russia's involvement. So, things now just got a lot more interesting.
Despite my enthusiasm for Moscow's move, I wish it had come 2 years ago. And I hope that it is going to be sustained. Russia has a habit of being tight-fisted and niggardly when it comes to providing aid to its allies. Now is not the time for parsimony from Putin. Asad needs help, and a lot of it.
The US and its flunkies are now going to "up the ante" here in a big way, with their usual bag of tricks.
