Russia claims to be only bombing ISIS. Others say he is bombing the rebels. But they are one and the same imho.
Yep. The so called Free Syrian Army that they bombed today, and Kerry just called an ally, is allied with Al Nusra (Al Qaeda). What a farce.
I would agree with that. It is not the soldier's duty to investigate on the spot who is who. The soldier's duty is to force the other side to drop their weapons and surrender. The rest is handled by civilian prosecutors, judges, and lawyers. It does not even matter if Assad's regime will preside over the trials. It's just too hard to explain to the court why someone "had to kill people" for a political cause.
Does ISIS coordinate with the rebels, or do they just happen to be fighting Assad separately?
