Most of this forum literally does not have the brain capacity to conceive of a war with more than two sides

do we even know how many "sides" are really fighting in Syria right now?
Syria seems like one of the most complex wars ever, post WWII
all the different interests for the different proxy wars makes it exponentially worse

There are definitely more than two sides (or better stated, more than two interests) but that doesn't change the fact that our two allies - Saudi Arabia and Qatar - are directly funding ISIS and Al-Nusar to fight against Al-Saad. Saudi Arabia and Qatar want Al-Saad gone because his is a shite regime. The problem is the "moderate" rebellion (whom condemn the assistance they receive from ISIS and Al-Nusar) have zero capacity for governing a united and stable Syria. Removal of Al-Saad will result in massive destabilization of the region and lead to further expansion and stability of extremist forces in the region.
Obviously Al-Saad is a bad guy but haven't we learned that taking out a bad leader doesn't necessarily lead to a better result (here's looking at you, W.) Russia is right on this issue. The only force currently fighting in Syria that has any chance of stabilizing hat region is Al-Saad.
