Chess match basically and while I'm sure they would have liked to put some hurt on the air force who is delivering the chemical weapons, that would be too close to Russian forces for comfort. The middle east is and has been a powder keg for so long, frankly I"m surprised it hasn't exploded by now. Russia wants the warm water bases and the natural resources and they have no issue supporting a monster if that puts troupes on the ground in key strategic places.
