"Specifically, Syria was discussed by Cameron (and German chancellor Angela Merkel who too phoned Putin). The western media is openly speculating that now that he is no more campaigning rhetorically, Putin would be amenable to the Western thrust for ‘regime change’ in Damascus. It’s a clever ploy but won’t work with Putin.
The coming weeks will be crucial in setting the tempo of Putin’s forthcoming presidency. While president Dmitry Medvedev will be notionally in charge for the next 3-month period, Putin’s imprimatur will be seen in each and every Kremlin move."
