The Russians never deal in good faith, rather attempt to screw you in a zero sum game
It’s like trying to make friends with Iran... the regime needs us as an outside enemy and they only see kindness as weakness anyway
Look at Putin ‘hitting ISIS’ like Trump says... their bombing isn’t anywhere near ISIS! So there’s the pattern you can expect in any foolhardy ‘US-Russia alliance’
Those in Syria who are fighting their government are terrorists, perhaps funded by the US. It seems they’re working with Turkey and ISIS. How does the region get stabilized unless they’re stopped, and the Kurds and Syria set up logical borders?
You're confused...its the Americans whose bombing isn't anywhere near ISIS not the Russians. Don't worry though PBS made the same error!

All nations act in their own self-interests, but I think Russia and the U.S. have far more to gain by alliance than enmity. They are natural allies, as two world wars have shown.
Russia has much to fear from war, but the Russians have proven time and again that they will fight rather than capitulate.
The Russians are no doubt unnerved by the feckless, reckless, and downright harebrained behavior of the United States under Democrat control and the frightening consequences of Western Decadence. It's easy to understand why they look favorably on a Donald Trump presidency.
The best possible scenario would probably be an alliance of Russia and the U.S.--and also India and China.
Such an alliance might even be able to prop up Europe until is finally succeeds in committing suicide by one method or another.
Seems to me Alaska was a pretty good deal we made with the Russians.
