We should be using common ground to forge a strong relationship with Russia. I have no idea why we are not. They have a lot to lose from terrorism, and they are vulnerable. So are we. Together we could make things a lot harder for terrorists. I'd venture to say Russia might be motivated to go after longtime allies Iran and Syria if we played this right. They more than likely supply Russia's Moslem problem.
Meanwhile, Russia builds a nuclear reactor and provides nuclear know-how to the lunatic Mullahs who have promised to nuke Israel at the first opportunity.
Apparently, the Kremlin is filled with nuts, too.
.... and they did not support us in Iraq, Putin visited Israel, and they are still getting bombed .....
The problem is much more intractable in Russia, because it is mixed with irredentism. Their best bet would probably to cut the Islamic regions loose and put up a big fence, but they are unwilling to lose any territory.
The Chinese are also seeing terrorist attacks on their soil, especially in the western portions.
We should also work with the Chinese on fighting terror. They have also been having trouble with the Islamists.
We should do a Leveraged Buyout of Russia.
