For Russia, the situation in Syria is becoming more and more hopeless. The United States, the Coalition and Israel will not retreat and change their plans for Syria as long as Iran is there. Maintaining its contingent in Syria is becoming for Moscow increasingly burdensome. To leave Syria does not fit in terms of Russia's prestige on the world stage. For Moscow, the situation is lose-lose.
In addition, economists predict a new global crisis that can begin already in 2019. There are several reasons for it: the United States' trade war with China and the US gas expansion into the European market. With the increase in the export of American gas to Europe, the price of oil will certainly fall. Russia will hardly survive this, so it could also be the end of the Putin regime. The current rise in oil prices is negligible and temporary.
