I am against salafist mercenaries and Xi dogs of war etc. As a sovereign state Syria is free to negotiate treaties, alliances, partnerships etc with whom ever they choose. In any case I don't see any Chinese or Russian intervention. And I wouldn't call it intervention either if they are invited by Syria to come and assist. I am fine with the US coming to 'intervene' in Australia during WW2. Because it wasn't intervention it was requested and or offered help and assistance. So it will be with Syria's allies.
