"a recent investigation conducted by Novaya Gazeta, one of the few independent newspapers left in Russia, complicates this cozy tale of counterterrorist cooperation. Based on extensive fieldwork in one village in the North Caucasus, reporter Elena Milashina has concluded that the “Russian special services have controlled” the flow of jihadists into Syria, where they have lately joined up not only with ISIS but other radical Islamist factions.
In other words, Russian officials are adding to the ranks of terrorists which the Russian government has deemed a collective threat to the security and longevity of its dictatorial ally on the Mediterranean, Bashar al-Assad."

Understanding Provocation [Provokatsiya]
One of the most powerful tools the Kremlin has in its secret arsenal of Special War is provocation, what they call provokatsiya.
While Moscow cannot claim to have invented this technique, which has existed as long as there have been secret services, there’s no doubt that Russians have perfected the art and taken it to a whole new level of sophistication and deviousness. At times, it can become a strategy all on its own (not always, mind you, with edifying results).
Provokatsiya simply means taking control of your enemies in secret and encouraging them to do things that discredit them and help you. You plant your own agents provocateurs and flip legitimate activists [in this case, dupe actual Jihadis -ETL], turning them to your side.
When you’re dealing with extremists to start with, getting them to do crazy, self-defeating things isn’t often difficult. In some cases, you simply create extremists and terrorists where they don’t exist. This is causing problems in order to solve them, and since the Tsarist period, Russian intelligence has been known to do just that.
While this isn’t a particularly nice technique, it works surprisingly well, particularly if you don’t care about bloody and messy consequences. ..."

That article is the only one of it’s kind from the Daily Beast that WORSHIPS Obama. If you want to believe Obama Worshipers, then go right ahead.
They are just muddling waters to confuse everyone and try to paint him into some sort of hero.
The Saudi’s do not deny trying to fund they call the “FSA”.
So if the Daily Beast is correct, then they are supplying Russia. LOL!
Absolute nonsense!
This article is not denied by Saudi Arabia? So I don’t understand how you are saying this is fake? It’s admitted because they can’t hide it.
But they are trying to pull the WOOL OVER YOUR EYES and PRETENDING there is a Moderate Force.
Total Horse $hit! They are all f*cking raidical butchers!
Please show me photos of the Freedom Loving For Everyone, Christian Loving, Pro American, Women’s Rights “MODERATE” Free Syrian Army.
With cameras on every phone today. This should be easy to do.
But you will not find them because there are no “moderates”.
