Russia is not welcome to join the US-led coalition in Syria, as France has proposed, until it changes its “focus†and stops “propping up†President Assad, the US State Department said. Yet, Washington continues to insist their goal isn’t defeating Assad.
“If other nations not in the coalition [the US-led coalition] want to join it and become part of it and focus on the fight against ISIL [Islamic State/IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL] that’s a conversation we’re certainly willing to have,†US State Department spokesperson John Kirby said.
An appeal to expand the US-led coalition fighting Islamic State came from French President Francois Hollande three days after deadly attacks in Paris a week ago. Stating that “France is at war,†Hollande called for the creation of a “large coalition,†which could unite forces with Russia “to achieve a result that has taken too long.â€
The grand coalition is going to be the focus of separate talks President Hollande will have with his American and Russian counterparts in coming days. The French leader is expected to hold talks in Washington on November 24 and in Moscow on November 26.
However, the US State Department says that Russia’s involvement in the coalition would depend on Moscow’s “commitment.â€
“But in order for that to work, every member of the coalition has to have the same focus on defeating ISIL, and thus far we, talking about Russia, haven’t seen that same commitment,†Kirby said, referring to Russia’s support for the Syrian President Bashar Assad. “It’s inconsistent with the goals of the coalition, which is to defeat ISIL, if you’re also propping up the Assad regime.â€

Right now, Russia is the coalition.
They are the coalition and they should tell Obama’s state department to buzz off. He will be gone in 15 months if they can wait that long for a return of sanity.
The U.S. is not going to lead anything with regard to this.
Honestly it just stuns me that Obama has the nerve to say stuff like this when Russia is making progress and the U.S. under Obama has done nothing but help them expand.
I’m not so sure about that but I’d like to be. I think the fix is in for the demonrats.
Russia must leave it’s relentless attacks on ISIS so it can join the U.S. in it’s PC influenced piecemeal campaign.
Yeah, well let’s hope. At least there is hope where as right now we just have to grit our teeth.
why would Russia want to join a fake coalition that only delivers munitions to the enemy?
Putin to Obaba...FOAD.
That's perfect! You summed this whole mess up in one sentence.
I'm so ashamed of our leadership and our actions since Lord Foul became our president. :-(
Monkey with a hand-grenade is very close to the truth...we will be lucky if he doesn't do something stupid and start WW3.
Its Obama who is going to have to beg to join. Russia is running the ISIS fight right now.
Man child obama has been upstaged and owned by Putin. So now he won’t play anymore with Putin. “He’s a child.”
Here is what the people have to live in because of the destruction by the rebels:
How many U.S. dollars went toward the rebel bombs that created this hell on earth?
I would think that Russia would decide who or who isn’t part of any coalition.
Obama doesn’t have balls. He has ovaries. Probably syphilitic...
And Putin laughed.
Obama is a cornered rat on the Syria issue and Putin is offering him a lifeline
Obama is too arrogant and stupid to accept.
