“That is pretty naive”
Maybe not.
Nobody in Syria like the US. Helping Assad does not really further US interest other than he is better than ISIL.
Besides why should Russia better more successful in Syria than they were in Afghanistan?

Let's be clear: The US has been consistently against Assad, and will not support him even against ISIS. That is why we indulge the stupid quixotic fantasies of arming a "moderate" force to fight both. No sane human being thinks that will work, but it is the official US foreign policy nonetheless.
