http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-34590561 Imagine popping round to your mate Vlad for a surprise visit. I hope he took some cake. It would be rude not to. |

'There's a civil war on!' 'It's Putin!' |

It does seem slightly... risky of a leader in his situation to leave the seat of power for any period of time. Much easier to stage a coup if the bloke you're kicking out isn't even there. |

Not risky at all, if your mate can reinstate you. |

Provided Putin doesn't offer him a nice steaming cup of glow in the dark tea he's probably going to be fine. |

I think if whoever came in made it clear that they'd be as pro-Russian as their predecessors, Assad would suddenly find Putin wasn't actually his friend at all. 'Risk Russian lives to get you back into power? Well, you see, it's difficult...' |
