NOTES:
1. The above statements are not an endorsement of Russia's decision to drop bombs on ISIS, rather an acknowledgment of how Putin and Russia are not taking the bait laid out by the US, Turkey and NATO. Russia appears to be doing their best to avoid a much larger military entanglement.
2. As mentioned above, Turkey has supported ISIS:
