Russia Bombs, ISIS Gains

Putin’s intervention in Syria is helping the very terrorists he claims to want to extinguish. So why is the U.S. taking it on the chin?

The Russian air campaign in Syria has begun to bear fruit. Last Friday morning, ISIS fighters stormed a Syrian rebel base in a surprise attack, capturing the base and a string of nearby towns. The attack, outside Syria's largest city of Aleppo, was ISIS's most notable advance in the area since August 2014. It was also the most notable military development in Syria since Russian planes began bombing. This is not a coincidence, and we should not expect it to be a one-off. The truth is that Russian airstrikes in Syria are a godsend for ISIS, and Russian President Vladimir Putin probably knows it.

Remember, Putin is a man who came to power by painting himself as Russia’s sole savior from Chechen insurgents. He is also a man who, in his first speech to Russia's parliament, declared, “We need to put an end to revolutions.” Now, after 18 months as a pariah for invading Ukraine, Putin sees a chance to regain his global standing. His strategy: crush the Syrian Revolution, then paint himself and his client Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad as the world's saviors from ISIS. The problem is that he can only accomplish this task by making ISIS stronger.
