Abstract: Even though violent conflicts and wars come with immeasurable human and material consequences it however serves the good for some. World leadership has always depended on the outcome of violent mega conflicts and wars. The United States took over the world leadership from Great Britain after emerging as the dominant power at the end of World War II. It succeeded in lulling the rise of the former USSR which became Russia thanks to the Cold War. Since then the prominence of Russia in global affairs has been dwindling till the advent of the Syrian conflict some five years ago that Russia is using as a springboard to bounce back to prominence. This article tries to detail this sudden rise of Russia thanks to the Syrian conflict.
Keywords: Consequences, Violent Conflicts and Wars, USSR.
