Think of it this way. In my mind if Russia created ISIS..
If Russia created or supported ISIS it wasn’t so they could have their own state.
Russia is strong allies with Assad in Syria and Russia also supports Tehran. Both for economic reasons mostly.
If Russia created ISIS.. it was to create a bad guy everyone could ‘hate’
And the Sunni’s just happened to be the odd man out.
That’s a good observation!
Late developments: Iran sending troops to Assad, and Saudi Arabia admits to cooperating with Israel.
