Oh, how I’d love to see the Russians capture some of these brutes and turn them over to Assad for public execution after first making them watch their own families being executed with pigs.
Fat chance, Putin is dedicated to keeping Assad and the Baathists in power in order to maintain access to sea and airbases, gaining wasta with Arabs, and flanking Turkey, the old enemy.
All their operations are focused on keeping Assad in power. The Russian government could care less about IS/ISIS/ISIL/DAESH.
