Russia will Increase its Syrian Airstrikes

Claiming that the first round of airstrikes have been successful, Russia plans to intensify its airstrkes against militants in the region. Russia stated that these airstrikes were to attack the Islamic State militants, but information about where the airstrikes occurred suggests that these airstrikes were actually targeted at government opposition forces. 

Put simply, Russia is lying about the actual targets of the airstrikes. It's obvious, and they know that the west knows they're lying about it. The statement that they will intensify the airstrikes is a message that they are going to continue their air action against Syrian rebels in support of the Assad regime. Although it would be a loss for human rights, it's probably best for the west to step down and allow Russia to handle this messy situation.
