Just received this e-mail from a friend in Aleppo, Syria: 

     "As for your question, mostly everyone I met over here and everyone one I know online, in other Syrian provinces or in the diaspora, support the Russians and their coalition with Iran, Iraq, Syria and Lebanese Resistance against the terrorists.

     "I wish to see the end of that nightmare before the end of the year.  The dream is closer now, thanks to the Russians, who are targeting the real bases of terrorists, not claiming doing so like the U.S. Coalition.  Only now, terrorists in Idleb are fleeing to Turkey, and the ones in Reqqa are fleeing to Iraq.

     "Some comments are afraid that it could be a new trap for the Russians, as what happened to them in Afghanistan back in the 1970s and 1980s.  However I guess they learned their lessons and won't make the mistake again.

     "I'm waiting for the Russian interfering in Aleppo.  So far nothing happened over here. But they are preparing the arena for it."
