TM certainly does criticize Putin for his agreement to a truce. I don't buy the "saving money" argument. Most critics I read anticipated this would be the exact outcome. Putin would either get the blame for sending his airplanes back in, or be portrayed as weak. :
: ::thumbsdown::
I still think that Putin's incursion into Syria was pre-arranged with Obama. Putin gets to look like he is standing behind his long time ally. He gets to put some weapons on display for future sales while building up the Russian economy around the military. His patrons get to make money while he portrays himself as a world player who works towards peace. He buys time for some unknown future plans, which may include war. Ultimately, The Borg is holding the winning hand.
