    No. If Russia and Syria are allies why is the US bombing there? Probably because Russia can’t because their military is both broke and broken.

    To be clear I’d prefer no military interventions at all, but if they’re going to happen, I can at least enjoy seeing Russia’s complete lack of response. It’s telling.

      Russia was aligned with the old regime fighting ISIS and various Islamists offshoots. Russia isn’t aligned with the current regime that was founded by people who lead ISIS at one point and other offshoots. The US is now aligned with these people, which isn’t a that surprising considering they’ve always been fighting both sides.
