I don’t recall Soviet troops ever coming under allied command.

No, Stalin would never have permitted that. And, I do not blame him for that. Similarly, the Western world did not then and will not now place western troops under Russian command.

But, that does not mean that we cannot coordinate our efforts to defeat ISIS. We should. However, we will necessarily remain at arms length because Russia has allied itself with Iran and Assad. We cannot expect the Western world to become too cozy too soon with either Iran or Assad. But, over time, who knows? Maybe there will be a new relationship develop with iran. The Iranian people do not seem hostile to us.

Agreed. The real danger here is a nuclear Iran. Maybe increasing trade between Russia and Israel will end up being an easter egg.
