    Russia was aligned with the old regime fighting ISIS and various Islamists offshoots. Russia isn’t aligned with the current regime that was founded by people who lead ISIS at one point and other offshoots. The US is now aligned with these people, which isn’t a that surprising considering they’ve always been fighting both sides.

          aN was under alquaeda not isis.

          Your original comment makes it sound as if it was an offshoot of isis to people who dont check.
