More than anything this shows how terrible a shape Russia and Iran are in. A 15 year long proxy war ended with a whimper.

Your logic posits that the good guys lost i.e Russia & Iran, supposedly fighting terrorists in Syria.

That doesn't mean the good guys lost, just that one set of bad guys lost and another won. As usual.

My light-hearted sarcasm was lost on HN.
