Russians Begin Air Strikes In Syria, In Support Of Assad, And Tell US To Leave

[robby]

Putin has told Obama that they are fighting for Assad, and will target any opposition. They are currently attacking the Free Syrian Army and other forces, not ISIS. The US coalition forces are asked to leave Syria. The US has refused. This could easily escalate into a hot war between Russia and the US.

Saudi Arabia and Iran are already fighting in Syria. And yeah, Russia has no interest in ISIS except as a propaganda tool to prop up their guy.

Don't you mean Iran and Saudi Arabia fighting in Yemen?

I guess the U.S., Bahrain, Jordan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates have done airstrikes against ISIL targets in Syria.
