The truth is that both Putin and Obama want our countries to cooperate with one another in defeating ISIS. But, our relations are complicated by Russia's alliances with Iran and Assad. Russia is now saying that it wants to cooperate more with the West. That is a good thing for both countries. Someday, maybe even Iran will come around, but probably not as quickly as Russia.

I recognize that there are people who have an unrealistic view of Putin and think that he is stupid enough to go to war with the West, but he is not that stupid. He knows that Russia's best interests lie in cooperating with the West and that is what he will be aiming for. But, there remains the problem of Iran.

Do you really think that Russia wants to trust Iran? Do you really think that Russia would be comfortable with a nuclear Iran?

In the end, Russia will side with the West.

I think you would hard pressed to actually prove that statement...

I find very little evidence Obama actually wants to defeat ISIL...

Obama is mostly as they say "all hat and no cattle"

He talks but does almost nothing...

In my book, Obama is sympathetic to ISIL as long as they help get rid of Assad...

The West is Europe .... and Russia is already siding with the West when it comes to the issue of the various Islamic factions, Islamic aggression and ISIS

The problem is does Turkey and the US (Obama) really side with the West?...... when it come to ISIS and Islam.....

Problem being they Turkey and the US (Obama) are seen as secretly supporting ISIS and Islamic state tyrant vs Assad who is essentially secular.

we have Islamic state run by Islamic tyrants... Iran and what Isis is trying to create .. the Islamic revolutionary Republic’s

And we have secular states, (Assad’s Syria) even though they’re primarily Islamic

the Europeans and Russians prefer secular non expansion tyrants in the Middle East

versus

Expansionist Islamic state tyrants of the Middle East at countries like Turkey and Obama seem to support

Assad has no designs outside of his own borders ...

ISIS and Iran do... they both have designs for an Islamic one world government... the caliphate

There is absolutely no evidence that Obama wants to destroy ISIS.
