Various news stations are reporting that Putin's forces in Syria targeted the U.S. and coalition-backed rebels instead of ISIS and that 36 civilians were killed by Russian airstrikes today. Waiting for more reports/confirmations; but I don't like where this is going in any case.
Putin wants his buddy Assad's enemies defeated. ISIS is one of Assad's enemies and one the U.S. and multi-national coalition's enemies too.
But, the rebels backed by the U.S. and the multi-national coalition are also Assad's enemies. I don't trust Putin to keep his word about not targeting them.
