It resembles remote Caribbean crisis, when Nikita Khruschev convinced Fidel Castro to permit deploying nuclear missiles in Cuba. Then, under impression of the USA, Khruschev withdrew the missiles ignoring accord with Castro. Allegedly, negotiations on settlement of Syrian conflict have been launched in Geneva.
