Moscow on Friday proposed that Russia and United States, which have been flying separate bombing campaigns in Syria, launch joint air strikes against jihadists from next week, a proposal the Pentagon swiftly rejected.
"We are proposing to the US, as the head of the International Syria Support Group, to take part as of May 25 in joint operations between the Russian air force and the air force of the coalition," Russian defence minister Sergei Shoigu said in televised comments.
Shoigu said that the proposal included strikes against Jabhat al-Nusra and other illegal armed groups that do not support a frail truce brokered by Moscow and Washington in February.
He also proposed that joint strikes target "convoys containing weapons and ammunition (and) armed units that illegally cross the Syrian-Turkish border."

Forgive my naivety.
Can’t trust the Russkies. They will shoot at us and call it a ‘wardrobe malfunction’.
Can it be possible?? Our old enemy and bad guy, is becoming the good guy in world affairs, and the former good guy (that the US) is becoming the bad guy.
I’ll betcha most every country in the world knows this, except for the WH. And, I suspect those countries are confused and not sure what to do.
Well, I'll betcha the White Hut was the first to know.
Obung-hole doesn’t know shiite until someone reads him the paper.
Kind of reminds me of Russia heading us off in Serbia. Then holding their ground while we asked UK to (in the Brit’s words) “start WW3 for us”.
The garbage is in the State Department. They're going to need an enema.
Russians aren't that stupid.
*Sigh* what could have been.
I think back to the original Austin Powers movie and the funny scene where Austin wakes up only to find that the head of Russian intelligence is working with them,
“Are you mad, he’s a Russian.”
“Austin, the Cold War is over.”
“Good, finally those capitalist pigs will answer for their crimes, eh, Comrade?”
“No, Austin, we won.”
“Oh.......Yay, Capitalism!”
Right - the same outlook as Albright. After the breakup of the USSR and the US was the only world power, she worked tirelessly to reduce US power and empower the EU to become a balance.
