From history, you can know if Russia supports something, its for the wrong reason.
Such is the case with Assad. Syria = bad guys. Syria's allies Iran = bad guys. Russia = Iranian AND Syrian ally and thus = bad guys.
The cover is blown at this point using the ISIS army, they might as well start killing ISIS to establish a precedent that we are "actually" fighting the bad guys. Once they've convinced everyone we are back on the right side, accidentally blow up ISIS and Syrias army.
Russia won't do shit. Its all posturing. Their country is proud, but poor as fuck and still behind us militarily.
