syria is far better under assad, rather than a bunch of foreign mercenaries, who force children to fight and cut peoples heads off, saddam,gaddafi, knew how to keep trouble makers under control, because they knew how to keep the religious split tribe under the thumb, assad's father united the country because they had one enemy on its border, russia will only use laser guided bombs on isis bases, vehicles, ammo caches only, because they might not do enough damage to isis, and laser guided bombs are expensive, russia has alot of experience in the afghan-chechen wars, with aircraft firing 139 guided bombs on average, a year, with each aircraft having 360 sorties on their belts, they know as much about laser bombing as the west do, because the soviet union went, it caused alot of hardships, for the country, and its military, after their budget was cut too nothing.
