6. Do you think Russia "is a great help in peace keeping" in Syria?

Seriously?

Russia has supported President Bashar al-Assad of Syria since the beginning of the Syrian conflict in 2011: politically, with military aid, and (since September 2015) with direct military involvement. Russian soldiers personally killed 6,928 Syrian civilians, including 2,042 children. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casualties_of_the_Syrian_civil_war

And how was Russia "a great help in peace keeping" in the former Yugoslavia? Russia gave Miloshevic false hope that they would support him militarily (even though they never did) thus emboldening Miloshevic, which extended and worsened the conflict.
