Russia and the United States, as thick as thieves. The same Russia that regularly saves Assad in the UN, that saved him from serious consequences after he used chemical weapons, that repeatedly targets hospitals, and that has saved Assad's genocidal regime from falling (i.e. postponed the inevitable).
Russia, which has previously criticized US bombing inside Syria, came to the defense of the Americans. Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said:
"The airstrike…targeted a building located across the street from the mosque, where al-Qaeda members usually held meetings….
Of course, there should be a probe into what happened in al-Jina in order to figure out what target was hit and who are the victims that the so-called witnesses are talking about. However, we don’t have any doubts that the US airstrikes targeted terrorists."
In contrast, Turkey’s Deputy Prime Minister Numan Kurtulmuş said, “This is a crime against humanity, this is a war crime. Bombing civilians, people in the mosque, and a house of worship is unacceptable.”

Turkey should really stop allowing the US to use its base until it agrees to behave regarding civilians and agrees to not target the rebels.
