Fighting on the same side, of course. Airwars has been an essential source on these issues. The article notes that the relative downturn of Russian terror-bombing since it helped the regime crush Aleppo in rivers of blood has coincided with a sharp upturn of the US war against ISIS in Mosul and Raqqa, under both the late Obama and early Trump govts, in both cases with huge civilian casualties. Oddly though, what Airwars doesn't mention (I assume it will in its next report) is that the same period has also seen a dramatic rise in US bombing of Jaysh Fatah al-Sham (JFS), the rebranded Nusra organisation, in Idlib province, where it has killed hundreds of JFS militants (and loads of civilians), in open collaboration with continued Assad and Russian bombing in Idlib. The US war has also killed a number of non-JFS militants, including Ahrar al-Sham fighters and leaders, even though that organisation is currently spearheading resistance on the ground against JFS aggression.
