Russian President Vladimir Putin appealed to Western leaders to bury their differences with Russia and jointly strike at the "barbarian" Islamic State (ISIS) militants in Syria, saying Friday's Paris terrorist attack underscored the need for such concerted action.
In a condolences telegram sent to French President Francois Hollande, Putin said, "This tragedy is another proof of the barbarian nature of terrorism, which challenges the human civilisation. Clearly, for effective fighting this evil, the entire international community should unite efforts," Tass news agency reported.
"I would like to confirm the Russian side is ready for most close cooperation with the French counterparts in investigating into the crime in Paris. I hope the initiators and executors will receive deserved punishments," Putin added.
Sergei Sobyanin, a close Putin ally and the mayor of Moscow, said the killings in Paris were "another reason to consolidate in the battle against Islamic State." Alexey Pushkov, a senior lawmaker and the chairman of the foreign affairs committee in the lower house of parliament, said he hoped the incident would bring the West to its senses. "Russia is fighting in Syria against those who blew up Paris and declared war on Europe," he wrote on his official Twitter account. "It is time for the West to stop criticising Moscow and to form a joint coalition."

I agree with it, but I’m sure Obama will need to be brought kicking and screaming to the negotiation table. Obama will either ignore it or have John Kerry pick the agreement apart because it wasnt ‘Obama’s idea from the beginning.
Pride goeth before abject failure, let’s hope.
Indeed.
IS(IS/IL) will prove to be a mere sock puppet distraction once Iran gets its nukes.
a leader appears.
{”The Russians are NEVER to be trusted...”}
They have had their Muslim problem and are under as much threat as anyone else.
Maybe on this fight they can be trusted.
Of course, Obama is busy fighting Global Climate Change and this may be a mute point for the US.
Trust, but verify.
Oh man...now the 4 resident neocon trolls will start posting their anti-Putin conspiracy tales onto this thread in 3...2...1...
Moot
They have done their utmost to empower regimes and peoples who actually pose a direct threat against them, namely Iran.
Russia will arm and supply anybody the deem fit at the moment and even if, in the long term, it may threaten them as well. Why would Russia supply Iran with nuclear reactors and S-300 missiles? For now, it is in their interest, later? Who knows. Putin is a POS but more respected than his counterpart POS, who is not respected in the world...at all!
Huh! Sounds just like us and our recent past.
LOL! I meant moot.
“This may be coming. Can’t say I disagree.”
We will have to wait while Obola changes his underware. I just imagine the thought of what Putin proposes caused him to crap his pants.
Well, since neither Israel nor U.S. have done anything about Iranian regime in nearly 4 decades since the latter’s formal inception, the Russians would.. in time.
Cue the Todd Rundgren song “Can We Still Be Friends?”.
If it’s Islam vs Judeo-Christianity Obama will be on the wrong side and will have to be impeached and removed.
Today’s Russia isn’t the USSR. Putin protects his country and its interests. He’s snuffing ISIS as this is typed. What more do you want?
This is what I’m talking about. Russia/USA have a common enemy. Hell 3/4 of the world has a common enemy. We have to wipe out islam.
