Truly a disgusting shameful moment in American history. The Russians were there for one reason, supporting the government against Isis rebels. When we murder those guys, we expose the true nature of our mission which had nothing to do with fighting Isis. It was to overthrow the Syrian government, and our Isis rebels were part of that effort until they got a little bit out of hand. Truly shameful,
Truly a disgusting shameful moment in American history.

Hey Rhino, no it is not - the Russians were attacking us. We fired back. They died. End of story.
US forces were supporting Kurdish troops vs the Syrian government. The Kurds were the principal manpower attacking and taking the ISIS “state” structure in Syria.
The Syria business was a multi-sided civil war, with the Syrian/Russian alliance being only one of the players.
It was the Kurds that took the ISIS capital of Raqqa

And crushed the last positions of ISIS

Russia and the West happened to have a common enemy in ISIS.
They BOTH hammered Isis.
However, the true deep reason Russia hammered Isis, is only because they need Syria and its ports and harbors, and want to stay there as a strong permanent Russian outpost / base.
Its business and imperialism.
The fact that Russia happened not being a friend of Isis doesn’t make Russia a friend of the West. Right?
Indeed: The fact that Russia wasn’t a friend of Hitler during WWII doesn’t make Stalin a friend of the West either. Right?
Russia has been fomenting against American interests for almost a century, and its just growing and growing. And to do so efficiently, Russia has once again teamed up with every communist nation on the planet: China, North Korea, Belarus, Cuba, Nicaragua, Venezuela, etc.... etc...
The USUAL suspects!
After all that, STILL be able to trust Russia is simply impossible. The Kremlin is our enemy. The Russian people has to free itself from its Soviet-inspired deep-state leaders in Moscow.
The Russian people wants to be conservative, but they are treated like crap by a Soviet-inspired regime that is a big-government huge mess.
