Just watching Newsnight and i can't see this ending well.
I think this could end up creating more tensions between Russia and the west.

It seems that Russia are'nt just targeting IS but also any opponents of the Assad regime.Some of these are US trained.

It seems the Russians are using 'dumb fire' weapons and are not accurate.

They are using big over powered bombs in built up areas where the west would have used smaller more accurate laser guided bombs to minimise civilian casualties.

Russian bombers killed 34 civilians just yesterday.Their could be tensions over this between the west and Russia.

Russia are'nt working with the US to select targets.They're selecting their own,They may well step on each others toes.

What happens when the Russians strengthen their position in Syria and possibly build air bases etc and the west decide it's time to take out the Assad regime?

I don't know.It seems to me that Russian and US/European military aircraft all operating in the same air space with so many conflicting interests can't be a good thing.
I can see there being disputes over targets and political interests.

What does everyone else think?
