I guess, Russia did it because theit goal from the beginning was supporting Syria and ending isis.
While the main goal of usa wasn't, specially when you look at the whole "moderate rebel" narrative
I don't know everything about it, but one thing is easy to notice
After Russia got involved, the whole thing started to move way faster than before
Danielko had a good point
There is money to be made by fighting terrorists, not by defeating terrorists.
A lot of people are making some serious cash with this whole "war on terror" being it legally or illegally.
Fair enough. Power politics is a tricky game. Accurately determining specific motivations can be a hell of a task, and I have no doubt money is a central consideration. Perhaps it's even reasonable to say Russia or the US would only be willing to crush ISIS if they were condfident that they could make just as much if not more money without them. There could be other reasons, and perhaps that's even wrong. I'm really just speculating.
It could be that weakening ISIS helps these groups to cooperate with figures like Fuad Masum, president of Iraq, to profit off of oil.
But it's hard to say for me at least.
I guess, If we should read more about oil trades
I've seen some people saying they the reason this whole thing in Surya started, was because Assad didn't wanted a oil pipeline on his territory or something like it
A lot of conflict in the middle east seems to be over oil. It's really just a cover-up for aliens and lizardmen.
Lol, true
And

Well, I can't help but think at least some of that has more to do with ISIS overexanding too fast and making too many enemies to deal with at one time
welp, that comment now makes no sense
anyhoo, now I'll just post what I planned on posting when I popped in here instead of replying to messages that were from several pages ago
that's the parasite guy?
I believe so, yes
stronk nork army
But they can shoot
also
although I'd seriously love to know wtf is going up
can they?
that was a plate carrier with one of the soldiers
?
hit him five times and he's still alive ;p
7 or 5
the video says 5
the news says 7
also, he was running, he wasn't a east target
easy*
I do wonder if his medical condition is endemic or an isolated issue amongst the military, whom you'd expect would actually *not* be treated like shit
also, conspiracy hat time, they shot at him in order to further solidify his credentials as a defecting soldier
*taps nose*
It's seriously not the first time that a nork 'defector' turned out to be a nork spy, though
I'd like to think the s/kors would have learned something from past experiences by now
yeah
still, i guess this would take some time to see
he still in the hospital
maybe his mates were just trying to shoot the giant tapeworms out of him
