US Complains As Russia Bombs its Terrorists
The New York Times in its recent article, “Russians Strike Targets in Syria, but Not ISIS Areas,” attempts to frame Russia’s recent actions in Syria as dishonest and dangerous. It reports:
Russian aircraft carried out a
bombing attack against Syrian opposition fighters on Wednesday,
including at least one group trained by the C.I.A., eliciting angry
protests from American officials and plunging the complex sectarian war
there into dangerous new territory.
This of course would only make Russia’s
actions dishonest or dangerous if groups trained by the US CIA were in
fact the “moderates” the US claims they are. However, they are not, and
thus Russia’s actions are duly justified as is the expansion of their
current policy.

There Are no Moderates, and There Never Were
For
months now, after years of headlines confirming the US has been
covertly arming militants in Syria for the purpose of overthrowing the
government in Damascus, a narrative revolving around tens of thousands
of these militants “defecting” to Al Nusra and the so-called “Islamic
State” (ISIS/ISIL) has been peddled to the public by the Western media
and US politicians to account for the apparent failure of America’s
alleged policy of creating an army of “moderates” to both fight ISIS/Al
Qaeda and the Syrian government.

In reality, from the beginning, there
were never any moderates. Starting as early as 2007, years before the
war in Syria began, the US as a matter of policy had long since decided
to intentionally fund and support the Syrian Muslim Brotherhood – for
all intents and purposes the political wing of Al Qaeda – and begin
arming militants affiliated with Al Qaeda itself.
