Where Will ISIL Militants Try to Hide from Russia?
Curiously enough, the fact that Russian airplanes are
tearing ISIL positions to pieces in Syria provoked a somewhat mixed
reaction in the world. In Europe, politicians are generally content by
this fact since the destruction of the Islamic State may stop the flow
of refugees from the Middle East, while those who are sponsoring
extremist organizations such as Jabhat al-Nusra, Jaish al-Fatah, and
Ahrar ash-Sham to get rid of the Syrian president Bashar al-Assad are
voicing loud protests. In the list of such sponsors one can find Turkey,
Saudi Arabia, and Qatar.

After all, those states have been
investing heavily in Islamists, providing them with weapons, equipment
and every other form of assistance a rebel group can desire to allow it
to succeed on the battlefield against the regular Syrian army. Billions
and billions of dollars were spent on the conflict, which is believed to
be a part of a larger struggle against Iran. So when in just 5 days
Russian military command launched over 60 sorties against terrorists,
these countries decided to make it clear that they are still determined
to do away with Assad.
