More importantly, at the very least it shows that the US and its allies are up to their criminal eyes in collusion with the non-IS factions, who are largely dominated by al Qaeda-affiliates. The moderate epithet is just a PR charade, without which the Western governments would be scandalized among their own public for their association with terror groups who were supposed to be the post-9/11 enemy.

What's more, Russia's head of Syrian operations Col General Andrei Kartapolov this week said that Moscow has proposed sharing coordinates on IS targets with the US-led coalition. But, he said, the Americans have not responded to the offer of military cooperation.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov added wryly that the Western-backed so-called Free Syrian Army -- the supposed moderate rebels -- appear to be nothing more than a phantom army. This is the chimeric ethical rebel group that the West accuses Russia of targeting instead of extremists. Lavrov said: We have asked the US where and who are these Free Syrian Army groups, but have got no answer.

Slowly, painfully, the precise truth is emerging about Syria. Washington and its supposedly virtuous allies have been destroying Syria for nearly five years with a criminal covert war for regime change, involving the dispatch of mercenary terror groups to do the dirty work. Now that Russia has moved decisively to put an end to this criminal conspiracy, the West is up in arms over its regime-change investment being obliterated.

Washington is not sharing precise information on its terror brigades with Russia because that would only compound its already mounting losses. Instead, Washington is covering up its criminality by appointing itself as some of kind of arbiter about which militant group Russia should and should not strike. Moscow should tell Washington to get lost, precisely.
