US-Russia differences over Syria
Major differences between Russia and the United States on fighting terrorism have once again come to the surface. The latest dispute is over Moscow’s plan to bomb the positions of al-Qaeda franchise in Syria, the al-Nusra Front terrorist group. As expected, the US is opposed to such a move. Washington argues that Russia could end up pounding what the White House calls the “moderate” opposition in Syria, in which the Nusrah Front has been embedded in the fight against the Syrian government forces.
