Russian President Vladimir Putin appealed to Western leaders to bury their differences with Russia and jointly strike at the "barbarian" Islamic State (ISIS) militants in Syria, saying Friday's Paris terrorist attack underscored the need for such concerted action.

In a condolences telegram sent to French President Francois Hollande, Putin said, "This tragedy is another proof of the barbarian nature of terrorism, which challenges the human civilisation. Clearly, for effective fighting this evil, the entire international community should unite efforts," Tass news agency reported.

"I would like to confirm the Russian side is ready for most close cooperation with the French counterparts in investigating into the crime in Paris. I hope the initiators and executors will receive deserved punishments," Putin added.

Sergei Sobyanin, a close Putin ally and the mayor of Moscow, said the killings in Paris were "another reason to consolidate in the battle against Islamic State." Alexey Pushkov, a senior lawmaker and the chairman of the foreign affairs committee in the lower house of parliament, said he hoped the incident would bring the West to its senses. "Russia is fighting in Syria against those who blew up Paris and declared war on Europe," he wrote on his official Twitter account. "It is time for the West to stop criticising Moscow and to form a joint coalition."

Russia became an enemy in 1917...

My guess in what Putin wants is to a. share the costs and build alliances and b. he wants to isolate the US from those alliances.

Middle East from Ukraine.

I would argue his plan is far more basic. He doesn't intend to include the USA because he knows with absolute certainty that Obama will never agree to go to war at all. He is correct with absolute certainty.

Obama/Kerry/Clinton/Pelosi/Sanders/ Dingy Harry...... peace at any price

[eartick]

Obama will need to be brought kicking and screaming to the negotiation table

Then we can start killing the crap out of these bastards

Except this time, it is not Russia that has the pact with Nazi regime, it is Obama who is in bed with Islamic Terrorist and does not want to join the league of nations.

Until we, American CITIZENS, rid ourselves of the evil within, namely Obama and his Congressional supporters, we will continue to rot from within.

We cannot wait a year while Obama continues to import Islamic Terrorists onto our soils. State Governors must push back. They must call up their State Militia and secure the depots where these terrorists are being dropped off. They must pass laws banning importation of these heathans.

I would trust Putin over zerO anyday! “If political winds shift, I will stand with the muslims.”

It only took 15 years for a coalition, potentially committed, to finally engage and identify the enemy

This would be a very good thing, Vladimir Putin is the only effective ISIS hunter left besides Nethanyahu.

Reason? The Saudis sponsor and pay for ISIS. Where do you think ISIS sells its oil? And most of the West's politicians do not want to cross the Saudis. Pooty doesn't give a sweet eff if he offends the Saudis or not while Obama does the step and fetch for the Saudis. That's why Obama has been playing rope a dope with ISIS, the Saudis have Obama in their pocket.The Saudis want ISIS to defeat IRAN and its Shiites who want to take Mecca away from the Saudis. Simple. Obama does the Saudi's bidding while trying to seem to America that he is actually doing something about ISIS when Obama is NOT and never will.

Bring in Pooty! But there is likely NO WAY Obama will go along with it. BUT the rest of Europe just might.

Putin does seem to be the only adult in the room.

[Ulysse]

I think that Putin has no illusion on the european liberals’ answer !

His proposition is rethoric because there will be no answer or a kind of diplomatic “NO” , “STFU” , we will continue “business” and tricks as usual in order to keep our power and fool our people .

WE must kick their dirty arsses QUICKLY

Hope that Trump and Cruz will join their forces together !
It would be good for Europe and the world

I’ve been saying that this is what we have neeed for a while now. Unfortunately, Zero is not interested in actually doing anyting to really stop the mohammedans.

The Russians are NEVER to be trusted...

Reagan trusted them. "Trust, but verify".

In World War II, we didn't particularly like Joe Stalin either, but he had one thing we needed, and that was a still formidable Red Army to stop Hitler in his tracks and turn back the Nazis. So we made him our ally. It didn't mean we approved of, or endorsed his behavior and how he abused and mistreated the Russian people.

The alternative would have been for Hitler to rule the Eurasian land mass from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and Vladivostok would have ended up as an Axis seaport.

[Bringbackthedraft]

Putin is a POS but more respected than his counterpart POS, who is not respected in the world...at all! ............... Not all, our guy is beloved in Kenya, the birthplace of an America President. LOL!.

[kiryandil]

Obama won’t attack his Muslim brothers...

[Netz]

Yes, the CCCP was needed to defeat Hitler. True but all that aid permitted them to take over Eastern Europe and eventually build an A-Bomb. America was naive in 1944, now under President Ovomit, it's the same lousy poker hand all over again and this time, by choice!

[kiryandil]

Just do an “IB” with the usual suspects’ initials. :)

[Teacher317]

The difference being that Europe does not need America for this war. Putin can rally EU leaders (France especially now), and lead a multi-national invasion of the Middle East. Obama can sit it out (as yet another gift to his Muslim masters), and Putin can gain even more influence in the region afterwards. Bad for the US either way, just as the both want it.

The other big player will be India.
