You must have zero understanding about the region if you really believe that. Russia needs Assad. The Russians are only fighting ISIS to protect Assad. They have been hitting targets other than ISIS. The Turksmen are being bombarded by Russia. Why wouldn't Turkey be upset especially when they enter Turkey airspace to do it?
The Russians aren't there to fight ISIS they're there to fight the rebels who appose Assad and have been persecuted by Assad.
Russia has one goal. Protect Assad at all costs.
