” The Syrian Army and the Russians are giving ISIS more attention nowadays as well”
Classic Russian playbook.
As the conflict rages, rush in to seize a strategic center and establish a military presence to fill a position of power. And never budge.

This time they have a proxy ground force and now a significant airpower presence.
They will race to the prize. Time will tell who wins
Weasly Clark almost managed to start World War III but the Brits basically told him to pound sand. In the end, however, the US was able to keep Kosovo safe for Muslim terrorists.
