I had often talk about US mission in Syria to be one of the 'regime change' from the get go. After nearly 4 years and in light of what has happened since ISIS was created through joint efforts of US, Saudi Arabia, Israel & Turkey, there is a little doubt in mind of anyone who has been following the events in Syria.
Furthermore, the events of the last few days and 'intentional' US led coordinated effort with Britain & Denmark to 'unintentionally" attack Syrian Army forces violated a ceasefire agreement previously reached between Russia & US.
While the US mission has always been clear to me, throughout the last 4 years I found myself questioning Russia's mission in Syria.
Case in point is Moscow's reaction toward the US attack on the Syrian troops in Deir Ezzor. In retrospect the extent of US attack on Syrian Army forces has been much bigger than it was initially admitted and Moscow itself acting numb and dumb about the actual details of the operation is very interesting to me.
Remember that the first account of what has happened came from a Syrian Military survivor who witnessed the US airstrikes first hand:
"- We first thought the aircraft are support to us after the first 2 shots, but we quickly found out that they are targeting our forces aggressively, while we were fighting IS terrorists. The aircraft used cluster bombs against us.
- A day before the airstrikes, the drones were flying and scanning all the area
- The US airstikes destroyed all our equipment and defense points.
- ISIS fighters attacked us immediately after and during the US strikes. Some of them were laughing
- US drones and helicopters opened fire from machine guns on our retreated forces
- It is for sure wasn't not a mistake, they targeted us intentionally to help ISIS.
- America is ISIS itself "
So my questions are what is Russia's objective in Syria, its involvement since September of 2015?
Why have Russia recalled its main military advisor to the Syrian government right at the beginning after the September 2013 crises?
Why hasn't Russia help her ally earlier at very beginning of ISIS take over?
Why have Russia never dealt with Turkey's overt support of ISIS?
Why is it that I see Russia's main objective in the past couple of years particularly is to make a deal with the US?
Why is it so important to Russia to somehow bring US some resemblance of "victory" before Obama leaves office?
Why would Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov would offer such asinine and moronic condition such as; "Terrorists should stop attacking, while the US should stop mistakenly striking Syrian army" for the ceasefire to resume?
Why does Russia keeps pretending, even at this junction in the game, that "terrorists" are different than "moderate oppositions"?
Or that America's engagement with 'moderate opposition' means America's engagement with & support of the 'terrorists/ISIS"?

And last but not least why Russia, all mighty Russia, with a geopolitical advantage & now with Turkey playing in its team has not been able to curb ISIS?
We pretty much know why mighty America were unable to curb ISIS? Why curb what one has created? Right?
There are unanswered questions on both side of the Syrian tragedy which is equally disturbing because nobody is questioning it?
