Original Note:
US officials in the State Department, whom this post cites, confirmed that 90% of Russia’s military strikes in Syria targeted the moderate Syrian opposition to Assad, not ISIS or other jihadist groups. Russia’s intervention was thus overwhelmingly on Assad’s political behalf. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/oct/07/russia-airstrikes-syria-not-targetting-isis
