It's not nonsense it's true..
Lets say the US and it's allies decide they want to attack Syria. Now lets say Russia decides they want to forcibly try to stop the US & it's allies. What can Russia do?
The "only" option Russia has is Nuclear and we all know Russia isn't going to risk nuclear war over Syria. If Russia tried to fight a conventional war, you would never get anything in the theater.
The only conventional manor in which Russia could help Syria is by supplying arms for a insurgent style war. Russians aren't getting tanks or aircraft or large numbers of troops into that theater. This isn't WW2 times anymore troop movements are seen long before they would get anywhere close.
Of course none of this will ever happen because we all know the end result. Hence the reason I say it's just a bunch of cock flapn, because there is no ability for you to project conventional power in the region even though it's almost in your back yard. This is why I say Russia is no longer a world power, due to no ability to project it's power world wide.
Russia is a regional power and a economic power and has a lot of nukes. Nukes only make sure everyone dies, but they don't win wars or allow you to project power else where in the world.
