Yeah, Trump is going to be a peace candidate.
I didn't even think it would get this insane.

UPDATE
Clarification: Likely US cooperation with Russia via US providing target coordinates.
On second thought, "U.S.-led coalition" more likely than not refers to Turkish air force. A bit too quick for actual U.S. coordination.— Ankit Panda (@nktpnd) January 23, 2017
@nktpnd Russian sources claim Turkish aircraft but US-provided target coordinates from a "direct line" to Coalition.— Dan Trombly (@stcolumbia) January 23, 2017
I thought the US and Russia were backing different sides in the Syrian conflict with Russia helping Assad and the US backing "rebels". Does this mean the US has stopped its policy of trying to overthrow Assad by backing various rebel groups, which have been reported to include terrorist organizations? If so, this is probably a good thing. Not because Assad is a good person, but because we don't need to create another political vacuum in the area for worse groups to take power, and because the Syrian people have been the biggest victims in all of this.
