Russia and Iran both provided material support to Syria in fighting ISIS, with Soleimani being one of the most individually responsible figures for the defeat of ISIS.

Reflexive US-contrarianism is not a useful framework even it if is right much more often than it is wrong.

even it if is right much more often than it is wrong.

a framework that is right more often than not sounds pretty useful to me. Imagine if a gambler had such a framework to work with think-about-it

I don't have to imagine it, such frameworks for gamblers occur all the time; from people I've known personally with "a system" for winning roulette to those who consistently made money buying bitcoins or NFTs etc. Usually these things crumple early enough to not cause too much damage, other times the "has always worked before" heuristic leads people to bet their life savings based on very false assumptions.

The US-contrarianism framework may work for most revolutionary groups but if you do not consider the specific conditions of each will also lead you to supporting ISIS or opposing vaccines.
