    You actually believe that anti-Russian propaganda? Really?
    Power always thinks it has a great soul, and vast views, beyond the comprehension of the weak. And that it is doing God service when it is violating all His laws.

    There is no meaningful difference between "the rebels" and "ISIS". They are both Islamic fundamentalists who want to destroy secular Syria as represented by Assad. Helping them is demented and unlawful.

    I agree. The few moderates have no power in this civil war. It is radicals v. Assad.

    The only real moderates are the Kurds and they do not favor overthrowing the Assad government, which is understandable given the alternative.

    They are bombing them, as they should be. The "rebels" are AQ. They just keep changing their name every few months.

    The FSA was not AQ and yet that didn't stop the Russians from bombing them. That isn't propaganda. That's the truth.

    The "FSA" has not existed in any meaningful form for years. They either disbanded or defected over to ISIS and AQ. The only "rebel" forces of any note are ISIS and AQ. AQ is being portrayed in western media as the "moderate" rebels. I suppose in comparison to ISIS, anyone can seem "moderate".

    The only real moderates in Syria (aside from the Assad faction) are against regime change.

    In short, the mainstream media and the government have been lying to you about Russia. Shocking, I know.
