Uh, well, what goes around comes around, I guess.

I'm too apathetic to care, actually.
Yes, hopefully Aleppo will literally not exist on the map by the end of the week.

Unlikely, while we have had this weird media campaign to save Islamists rebels under siege in the depopulated Eastern Aleppo, Western Aleppo which was besieged for two years by FSA/Al-Nusra until the regime broke the siege in 2014, are home to the vast majority of Aleppo's population, and they celebrate Assad and Putin right now and the end of the attacks on civilian targets (with rockets and artillery) in Western Aleppo by the poor besieged freedom loving head choppers, who had liberated the eastern part of city from the local population. Also yes these Assad supporters are Sunnis with a significant Christian minority.

If Putin decides to take revenge, he will go after the rebels in the Idlib area. The Turks have supported them, but this attack gives Putin a way to push Turkey to cut its support. He can also use it as a excuse to send Russian land troops against ISIS, but I doubt that will happen, as ISIS serve as a argument for why Assad are the least bad alternative in Syria. Mostly because the other Islamist, especially Al-Nusra (which have another name now, to signify that they have cut their connection with Al Qaeda) which are smart enough to try to sell itself as "moderate" Islamist (in truth they're ISIS without the flamboyant sadism).
