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."

The Russians are NEVER to be trusted...

We can trust Russia more than we can our current leaders.

And the middle east is beginning to wake up to that fact.

What soul exists which would blow up Moscow apartments in 1999

And I guess you believe that W blew up the twin towers.

Actually, it was earlier, in 1905, when Teddy Roosevelt encouraged the nascent Japanese empire to be proactive against Russian expansion in the far east.

THE IMPALER????

...and the KGB Colonel appears to be more of a statesman than the US president.

Hey, you have to work hard to become a Colonel, in KGB or anywhere else. A Colonel in the Army commands a brigade (four to six thousand men.) Obama has no history of command; he wouldn't even qualify to command a squad.

Yes we did!

Putin is more of a world leader than Obama. But then we knew that.

Putin does smell like a rose, he has the moral high ground while Obama is sniveling and wheedling around like the beaten dog that he is.

(I expect Pooty will leverage himself right into Central Ukraine.)

Obama will NOT cooperate significantly. He might make some token effort.

To all your posts to me in this thread, I got to say 1 thing and 1 thing only.

Money talks and BS walks.

If the U.S. didn’t want Islamists running around loose, they wouldn’t be. This is NOT a matter since 9/11 or Obama. This is a matter that goes back much farther; 3 decades ago at least.
