Not sure we want Russia getting involved with Iraq... don't need the "we'll take over from here" mentality creeping in like it did at Yalta.
And no, I don't trust Putin further than I can throw him.
I don't know about "trusting" him, but the Rooskies are seriously pissed. They feel they have to show strength here or they will be viewed to be as weak as France or Spain.
This is a genuine opportunity to cement another vested, motivated, ally in the war on terror. I say, welcome aboard.
Yalta, with all respect, was in 1945 with a USSR under Stalin. IMO, that was a different time and a different world.
