Although I basically welcome the fact that the Assad regime is being toppled and that the Russians are being kicked in the arse as well, I have great concerns about WHO is doing this...
If jihadist groups are ‘in charge’ throughout the country, the next civil war is already pre-programmed, namely between the groups that have the same goal now... It smells like the same situation as back then in Lebanon...
In this respect, we should perhaps be careful about rejoicing in any ‘successes’. I only see more murder and killing...

Let's say Russia and Assad were, to some "broad extent", necessary evils against ISIS & cie.
I do remember Russia's intervention in Syria was, perhaps not acclaimed, but at least saluted by a good portion of the world community. Especially since it came shortly after the bloody ISIS terror attacks in France and several other European countries.
Yes, they are buddies with Iran, Huthis, Hamas and Hezbollah, but these are relatively well contained threats in and of themselves. In addition to being localized.
ISIS however is hated by everybody, or rather almost everybody. It is pretty much THE common enemy everybody can agree on, apart from one or two unsavory "allies".
Ultimately the best course of action would have been: let's set our differences aside for the time being, let's thoroughly deal with that threat and weed it out once and for all; and then we can go back to our ever lasting quarrels.
Or, better, let's find a way to end them in a way that would not lead to more blood being shed.
I am pretty confident the people living in these regions are more than tired of these never ending, multi-generational wars, and would welcome some long lasting peace of sort. But that might be a bit too idealistic.

I had forgotten that in my text. The people who live there would certainly be happy (for the most part) if Assad were gone. But swapping that for X different groups of jihadists is certainly not what they want. I assume they would be happy if the shooting and killing would finally come to an end...

Pretty much echoes what some American friends who served in Iraq said about their retrospective feelings regarding their deployment.
Taking out Saddam was a good thing in and off itself. What bothers them though is everything around, the insurgency, the surge, the casualties among their friends, the dead civilians, then ISIS, a country left in ruin and a people who, ultimately, hate them when they (US soldiers) thought they would come there to give them a better life.
The problem is a rinse and repeat was done in Libya, a half assed one at that. But it got swept under the rug and we don't talk much about it, not even the catastrophic raid on the US embassy.

Yes, I just saw a report that this was a "planned exercise". The timing is interesting, though.
