The usual kind of stupid spiel I expect from The Drive whenever they report about anything Russian. Except amped up to 11 and totally devoid of actual content.

"A few rebels". A lot of countries pumped huge amounts of money into that "insurrection" in Syria.
As for Iraq the whole place is a basket case. As any government the US concocts out of thin air usually is.
