`Allies’ like McCain’s heart-eating cannibal butt buddy?
This has blown up in Obama’s face, like everything else.
The fruit of Obama and Hillary’s policy of “democratic” (i.e., Islamic) revolution in Syria, has been civil war, anarchy, and chaos. That chaos and anarchy allowed ISIS (or as John Kerry insists as if it matters, ISIL) to grow, commit horrible crimes, overwhelm Europe and soon the US with a refugee/Islamist migration crisis,destroy any hope of recovery in Iraq, and generally destabilize the Middle East region. Beneficiaries: Iran, Turkey, Islamists.
The current situation threatens Russia and CIS countries through returning Chechen and other Islamists training and fighting in Syria. Putin recognizes this and smells an opportunity to gain major influence on the cheap.
I assume Putin has concluded that propping up Assad is the most advantageous route to stabilizing Syria, so it is no longer a haven for ISIS and rival Islamist groups. Any fool can see that Obama either does not want to stop ISIS, or lacks the will and competence to do so. Taking out the US’s “moderate anti-Assad allies” is thus a necessary element of the solution.
When Russia crushes ISIS quickly, the US will be exposed as at best a feckless paper tiger, and alternatively, a cynical, dangerous, deliberate abettor of Islamism at its worst. Get’er done, Vlad.

Russia is not attacking OUR allies. He is attacking obama ayatollah’s allies, i.e., isis.
I couldn’t believe my ears hearing Rush saying how horrible the Russians were, bombing our “allies” the moderate rebels.
He really jumped the shark on that one
There are no such things as “moderate” moslems.
I don’t have allies in Syria and only two in the Senate.
IN JEOPARDY: Obama's get-rich-quick-plan to prime the
pump for big buck Mideast donations to his two foundations.
"Bummer. How'm I gonna get-rich-quick
like the Clintons did if Putin won't cooperate?"
"Hahahaha. The uranium deal? US ntl security?
Hahahaha. You gotta be kidding, Vlad."
