I've Been Thinking:
Russia and Turkey coordinated air strikes against ISIS yesterday. Their attack was on the town of al Bab about 30 miles northeast of Aleppo.
This is the first time that there has been a coordinated air-force effort between these two nations.
It seems that the Russians have also provided air support for Assad's forces in Dir el Zor.
Russian fighter jets also bombed outside of Palmyra. The Russians were defending the Assad forces who were squaring off against ISIS. The fear was that ISIS will once again loot and blow up the remains of the ancient city.
Russia has trimmed its air fleet, so working together with Turkey bolsters the Russians air-force presence.
