Russia's strikes in Syria overcomplicates things

Well it only took 24 years give or take for Soviet Un ...hmm Russia to start challenging the US&A again. After following the Arab spring with growling and dismay and seeing the so-called tyrannical regimes following one by one when it came to Syria Russia decided enough is enough.

So the story is pretty simple, same old plan. US&A backs-up some moderate rebels (they are blowing up stuff moderately) which represent a better alternative to the corrupted and blood-hungry regime of Assad. So far so good. These moderate rebels are trained and given weapons by the US&A and start causing mayhem in Syria. No more Assad, we want the same type of flourishing democracy as Afghanistan and Iraq have they probaly shout.

However these guys are not a match for the Syrian army still loyal to Assad to "someone" in the shadows decide to arm and support a more radical group. Some individuals who aren't afraid to behead some journalists or tourists to show off their strong faith to the cause. Let's call them ISIS (formerly known as ISIL). Now these guys own half of democratic Iraq and half of dictatorial Syria and they pretend they're a country an all. Now really, they even have a capital and are issuing licences to exploit oil and build houses and stuff.

Putin on the other hand promises he will wipe out these islamists fanatics (he probably doesn't like competition on lowering oil prices) but the old-technology Russian jets seem to only hit the moderate rebels bases sparkling cries of outrage all accross Washington and their smaller playground London. And during this time Frau Merkel extends a welcome party for all refugees into the European Union. Something smells.
