They are targeting other rebel groups, as are Russia (who by the by barely go near I.S).


I think at least part of Russia's motivation in blanket-bombing non-I.S Syrians is to force them to flee to Europe and to add to the E.U.'s disarray over the refugee "crisis".


I think it more likely that they consider the solution to the collapse of Syria is to buttress the position of Assad, and obviously think it is in their interests in the area if Assad was again in power across more of the country.

I have to say that the west tolerates and supports far worse regimes than Assads's. Syria has now descended into a sectarian civil war with a bewildering array of forces pitched against each other, usually for ethnic or religious reasons.

I genuinely don't believe there is a side to back that represents any kind of moral high ground. Any one rebel group will be locked into conflict both with Assad and other rebel groups.
