That may sound odd, but Putin was the only one acting from a purely Western perspective. Assad is the only known secular power there. Everything else is a big fat unknown.

Putin withdrawing means he feels safe enough to set that step. Syria provides the only base for the Russian navy in the region. If there hadn't been something going on behind the curtains, he never would have withdrawn.
