Now that the Evil #Assad Regime is attacking #Idlib again with the help of #Russia and #Iran, and will undoubtedly use #sarin and #chlorine from #BarrelBombs on innocent freedom-loving #ModerateRebels , you need to know whom to cheer for! Provided as a public service!.
I was watching the news. I try to compare and contrast CNN, BBC, Press TV, RT, CGTN, and al-Jazeera. The BBC was asking about Turkey, who want F-35s and S-400s. Turkey said they ordered Patriots, didn’t get them, and needed anti-aircraft weapons, which Russia, desperate for cash, was happy to sell them. But the US says they can’t have both US weapons and Russian weapons, so they have to choose:

Turkey wants the Free Syrian Army to be the legitimate government of Syria (if you read Theo Padnos in the New York Times Sunday Magazine, he says the Free Syrian Army is the marketing branch of al-Nusrah, a branch of the democratic* group al-Qaeda). The US officially now wants an alliance of al-Qaeda and the Kurds (not possible, but the US believes in miracles). But if Turkey wants to be friends with the US AND Russia, Russia wants the legitimate Syrian government, which is not at all Democratic*. So what is Turkey to do?
