Russian President Vladimir Putin has extended a hand out to the West, urging Western leaders to put aside their differences with his country and join him in a coalition against ISIS.
Citing the Paris attacks last weekend, the Russian leader said that now was an opportunity for the world to crush the Islamic State once and for all. Stating in a telegram to French President Francois Hollande, Putin argued, “This tragedy is another proof of the barbarian nature of terrorism, which challenges the human civilization. Clearly, for effective fighting this evil, the entire international community should unite their efforts.”
This unexpected overture on Putin’s part is even surprising given Russia’s recent frosty relations with the U.S. and it’s allies, stemming from it’s 2014 annexation of Crimea and subsequent behavior in the rest of Ukraine. Today, however, it is waging an air campaign against ISIS in Syria, an effort in which the country has now shown that it would like to cooperate with others.

Thank you Vladimir Putin.
Putin is our allie.
I say send Obama over there since he seems to like them so much.
PUTIN looks like CAVS ..head coach
WTF Obama? Obama needs to take a lesson from, Putin…The man’s alright in my book.
we grew up fearing the Russians , today they have a better leader than the United States Of America .
Is Putin doing Obama’s job.
But our President does not want to do anything that will go against ISIS. He has not admitted they attacked Paris yet. He is supporting them.
Sounds like a good plan to me. it would help build good relations with Russia that would benefit both sides. I doubt the sissy-pants Dumocrats will go along with it, but we don’t really need them anyways !!
He will stand a better chance than weak willie Obama! I trust him more to pound ISIS than our President.
