My concern is that Russia is going to wine and dine the incoming Syrian government in order to keep their port access. Hopefully the Syrians will tell them to kick rocks on account of all the years of terror bombing dished out to them by the Kremlin
I suspect they are inclined to tell the Russians to kick rocks. However, they are going to need some foreign support. As long as they are on the US terror list, it will be very difficult for that help to come from any US aligned group.
Having said that, between the growing disagreement over Israel policy, the coming 4 years of a Trump administration, and the desire of a lot of European countries to resolve the Syrian Refugee crisis; I could see a lot of European countries going against the US on this one and helping the new Syrian government.

Every Syrian refugee I’ve met **hates ** Russia for the atrocities committed there. But money talks, I hope you are right and they tell them off.
Keep their bases in exchange for throwing a few bombs on the Kurds, you say?
