FILE - In this Dec. 12, 2017, file photo, Russian President Vladimir Putin addresses the troops at the Hemeimeem air base in Syria. Russia's deployment near the Syria-Lebanon border this week and its withdrawal a day later after protests from the militant Hezbollah group reveals some of the uneasy relations between allies of President Bashar Assad who joined the country's civil war to back him. The move comes amid calls by Russia for foreign countries to withdraw troops from Syria while Tehran says it presence will remain as long as there are threats from terrorists.
