Other governments can continue to try to convince Russia that its interests are better served by getting rid of the current regime than by permitting the continued radicalization of his opponents. Tougher sanctions can continue to delegitimize the regime, and Turkey might be persuaded to take stronger steps against its neighbor.
但谨慎并不意味着在叙利亚问题上无动于衷。各国政府可以持续尝试说服俄罗斯，使其相信推翻当前政权要比让阿萨德的支持者逐渐陷入极端更有助于实现其利益。更强力的制裁则可以继续令这个政权丧失合法性，还可以说服土耳其对这个邻国采取更强硬手段。
