Maybe, near 1,000 civilians in Iraq and Syria have been killed during US led airstrikes -- 100% of them during operations intended to neutralize ISIS positions. 10's of thousands of civilians have died in Syrian and Russian airstrikes with some being indiscriminate, without following international law not to intentionally target areas that are civilian or dual use like hospitals.
Assad and Putin are not putting stopping and eliminating ISIS as a priority -- any idiot can see that. Assad wants the control back of Syria and Putin wants Russia's military bases on the Mediterranean secure. ISIS and the Syrians in revolt are in the way of those goals. The Iranians want a staging ground against the Zionist enemies.
