It should be noted that the United States spent a whole year bombing the desert instead of hitting terrorist targets in Syria, the head of the Russian parliament’s international affairs committee wrote on Friday.
“[Senator John] McCain accused us of striking US-trained insurgents… However, since they have either run away or joined al-Qaeda, hitting them is nearly impossible,” Alexei Pushkov wrote on his Twitter account.
Earlier on Thursday, Western media reported that Russian airstrikes allegedly hit US-trained Syrian rebels.
But it seems the US forgot that only nine US-trained rebels are actually fighting ISIL, while the rest are "missing" somewhere in the Syrian desert.
