Glad to see ISIS defeated again. Its a shame Assad and the Russians have killed more civilians in Syria than they've killed ISIS terrorists. Turkey is invading Syria because they're afraid of the Kurds there, who are this close to taking over the entire northern sector all the way to the Mediterranean Sea. The Turks are also afraid the success of the Kurds in Syria will lead to the southern part of Turkey rising up and joining them, as there are many Kurds there.

In fact, Russians are now cleaning the bloody mess that US Government organized in Syria by fighting Assad and supporting so-called 'moderate rebels' i.e. various islamic radicals and pure terrorists. Shame on you, Americans, not Russians.
