A staunch opponent of Western intervention in Syria, Russia has long warned that efforts to overthrow that nation’s president, Bashar al-Assad, would lead to the rise of extremist groups like ISIS. This warning has come to pass, and now the rest of the world has to clean up the resulting mess.
“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.’
In an interview on Friday ahead of the G20 summit and before news of the Paris carnage broke, Putin vented his frustration at the United States for repeatedly rebuffing Russia’s overtures to coordinate more closely in carrying out airstrikes against ISIS targets in Syria, Reuters reported.
Sources said that for weeks, Moscow had been asking Washington to share intelligence about ISIS targets while at the same time seeking the creation of a broader coalition to confront the ISIS menace in Syria. Washington has rejected all of Russia’s proposals, the sources claim.
‘We need to urgently end the conflict between the West and Russia over Ukraine,’ said Sergey Markov, a Putin loyalist.”
Do you think we should join Putin in the fight against ISIS, or do you think he’s too untrustworthy to work with?
