I would agree that the Europeans have given up on the idea of helping to install pro Western governments in liberating (loosely termed) Libya and Syria, however they still maintain a military presence such as France, UK, USA to name a few within the theatre of operations.
I used to follow what was happening in Syria when I was serving in the military however I just saw it all developing into the same old Middle East **** sandwich and as I am no longer serving and required to take a bite I've lost interest over the years.
However I am happy with Russia's involvement in this Campaign, I believe their presence has prevented Isreal in becoming more involved and prevented a "boots on the ground" campaign from a European/US coalition force being deployed and causing further issues.
Who knows what the future will bring, so long as Russia remain in Syria I doubt there will ever be a Starbucks or Costa's in Damascus.
