They were recently kicked out BUT that doesn't answer my question. Assad's military is the primary force opposing ISIS with Russian support. What do you think will happen without Assad opposing ISIS?

And ISIS is getting it's ass kicked left and right....

And this does not explain how you came to the conclusion the US wants ISIS to take over in Syria.

I am not sure the intelligence about the welter of armed groups in Syria is good enough that either Russia or the U.S. knows just who is being bombed in Aleppo. But despite all the overwrougjht accounts, this is pretty small stuff compared to Hamburg or Tokyo or Dresden. And In Caen, the U.S. and British knew very well the munitions they were sending into that city were killing many innocent French civilians. But with the Germans holding very important sites in Caen, and with the inaccuracy of aerial bombing at that time, there did not seem to be any acceptable alternative. If Russian and Syrian government forces are receiving hostile fire from certain districts in Aleppo, are they supposed not to try to suppress that fire because civilians are living in those districts? There were many thousands of civilians living in Hamburg, Tokyo, and Dresden, too.

This isn't 1944 with 100% unguided munitions. In addition, cluster and incendiary munitions are banned (war crime).
