the russian propaganda is so sneaky, the way it plays off american messaging. this is designed to build up opposition to isis, by presenting a military option against it - knowing all the time that the american policy is to quietly support isis through saudi contacts as it overthrows the "lost" iranian-backed iraqi government.

the americans would be more like to provide air support for these guys in iraq, as they've been trying to set up the circumstances to allow in syria. but, see, the russians want you to oppose this, because they know that's game over for their interests in the region.

but, it doesn't challenge the american lie, it takes it to it's logical conclusion. sneaky.
