There is not much the US can do right now around Aleppo regardless,
for many reasons, so this kind of posturing is laughable.

Assaad's regime would have fallen to ISIS or other Sunnite groups if not propped up by Putin, that's a certainty.

If Russia attacks the Kurds or Sunnites allied with Turkey though, I expect major pushback.
