Syria? I think you're overstating it a bit. Bashar al-Assad is still in power and holds most of the populated areas. The Qatar pipeline is still not happening. Nord Stream 2 is almost finished, so the Qatar pipeline looks less likely every day that passes.
Different place, different time, different people in charge (on one side). Putin certainly seemed to learn not to provoke Trump. But Biden is no Trump. And Syria is not Ukraine.
New presidents get tested by adversaries. Biden is being tested. We'll see.
Putin got punched in the face in his most recent proxy war so maybe he'll be a bit more wary.
