Vladimir Putin has warned that Russia is ready to to scale up its military intervention in Syria, less than a day after Moscow signed off on an ambitious UN plan to end the war.
The peace roadmap lays out a two-year path to elections for a new government, starting with a January ceasefire, and marks the first time America and Russia have reached broad consensus on Syria’s future after years of conflict that has cost more than 250,000 lives and made millions more into refugees.

When Americans think of a quagmire, Viet Nam comes to mind.
When Russians think of a quagmire, I'm betting they think of Afghanistan - which was also much more recent for them.
Quagmires are NOT popular in either country!
