REUTERSRussian President Vladimir Putin has been waging a proxy war of sorts with Obama and the West in Syria, and he isn't backing down.

In fact, his rhetoric has become even more fiery, today saying he would still support Syria materially if the West does decide to intervene.

Lets not forget his refusal to surrender Snowden to the U.S.
