asv vispār nebomboja opozīciju Rietumsīrijā (tieši tā jau spieda asadu), tikai Islāma valsti. Krievi savukārt praktiski nebumbo Islāma valsti.

http://www.cbsnews.com/news/vladimir-putin-playbook-syria/ Putin's model of Chechnya involved waging "two different wars - against extremists and against opposition forces," said CBS News Senior National Security Analyst Juan Zarate. The strategy: use brutal and overwhelming force, attack the moderates and alternatives to the ruling regime, and then change the narrative of the war. "Chechnya was wracked with human rights abuses and atrocities and bombed-out cities like Grozny. [The Russians] didn't care," Zarate explained. "The narrative has to be, 'It's either this regime and what we're doing or these violent radical terrorists.' That's exactly what Putin's doing here."
