there is no difference to me. they're all cut from the same filthy cloth. that whole country is FUBAR and I am glad Russia is taking over. Better them than us. I am sick of our tax $$$$$ being wasted.
Russia doesn't have to bow to the freaking media with every bomb dropped. this is why the US can't win

^^THIS. I just don't understand why the US has its panties in a bunch over what Russia is doing in Syria. Assad crossed Obama's "Red Line" years ago and he did nothing about it, so clearly we really don't care what happens over there. Except we do, whenever Russia is involved?
It seems like Obama is just embarrassed that Russia is looking better than the US when it comes to fighting ISIS. We spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to arm a handful of rebels, most of whom turned out to be ISIS fighters anyway. Putin sends 26 cruise missiles in and does the job that Obama was afraid to do. If some of his targets are non-ISIS but favor Assad, I just don't get why we care.
We certainly didn't do anything when Assad gassed his people, so it's not like America gives a damn about Syrians. Not that I'm saying we should have done anything, but we certainly can't complain when another country gets involved in a war that we are unwilling to get involved in.
Why was it OK for the US to go into Iraq and nation build when basically we were doing it for oil. Now, when Russia does it, it's some kind of outrage.

Because it's controlled by politicians, a group that represents the epitome of the 'do as I say, not as I do' mentality.
