If anyone is surrounded it is Turkey and Syria.
Isn't "being surrounded" justification for aggression? Russia is "being surrounded" so it is okay to invade Ukraine, Georgia, etc.
No. I dont think it is okay for Russia to invade Ukraine or Georgia.
Russia are being forced to take action do to national interests.
The US are basing all their arguments for interventions based on US national interests as well.

Correct. Russia is continuing Assad's policy of allowing Daesh to continue unopposed. So long as Daesh commits atrocities, Assad's regime looks like the lesser evil.

Anyone who supports this:
edition.cnn.com...
.... I can't even begin to explain how messed up this is. Anyone who is fighting Daesh, I am on the same side as them.
Of course Russia & Assad want to see the end of Daesh.
Just about EVERYONE wants to see the end of Daesh. Anyone who gives Daesh any of a few minutes has got psychologic issues and need help, it is not normal. To accept or even give Daesh a chance is the worse thing you could do for the benefit of humanity.

Then why haven't they been bombing them?

Your words, not mine. Every time Daesh posts a beheading video, Assad smiles because he looks that much better.

Because the targets the Russians themselves are saying they are hitting are almost exclusively not Daesh. So for only two missiles have targeted Daesh... about as many as may have hit Iran.
Russia are sying that they are targeting terrorists. It is the west/US who state that Russia have only hit ISs 2 times.
