That is a grave oversight, for it is clear that Russian foreign policy has again taken a provocative and confrontational turn. Russia remains a steadfast supporter of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, and is not shying away from conflict with Turkey, or from forging a de facto alliance with Iran, in order to defend the Assad regime.
这是一个后果严重的疏漏，因为，显然，俄罗斯外交政策已经做出了挑衅性、冲突性的转变。俄罗斯依然是叙利亚总统巴沙尔·阿萨德的坚定支持者，并且不惜与土耳其产生冲突，或在事实上和伊朗结盟，以捍卫巴沙尔政权。
