Putin is fighting ISIS by dropping bombs on populated cities in Syria, making little distinction between Syrian rebels and actual ISIS forces. His primary purpose is to protect Assad. Claiming a war on ISIS is just an excuse to support a brutal dictator who happens to be in control of an important Russian seaport and a valued trading partner.
The US is fighting a global war on terror with multiple terrorist organizations in multiple countries in multiple regions on multiple continents.
Hey Camp I keep asking who are the moderate rebels?
Not al Nusra and not the Free Syrian Army. All I keep reading is we are backing this phantom like force called "the moderate rebels".
They are indeed factions of the FSA such as Division 13 and member groups of the Syrian Coalition.
FSA has been fighting with al Nusra aka AQ.
Syrian Coalition is just a rag tag group of so called mercenaries errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr rebels paid for and supported by Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Turkey with our help.
And all that help is funneled to them by the Muslim Brotherhood. You know. Those guys that turned Egypt upside down before Egyptians came to their senses and threw them in jail and named them as a terrorist organization.
