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.

Russia is not that stupid. We are the stupid ones.
Putin may not be what you think is honorable or trustworthy. But in this period of time, he is way better than what we have leading our country. I would take him over Obama any day.
Obama is a scared little girl!
I trust Putin and don’t trust Obama.
I feel the same way. Who would have thought a American presidend could be such a COWARD.
Don’t count on Obama being part of that coalition, he’ll be to busy on the gulf course.
Let’s do it.
It’s a sure bet Obama is not going to go against his relatives and as our so called leader he isn’t going to allow our military to step up and fight for what RIGHT!
US gotta see it to believe it! The Ruskies ALWAYS HAVE A secret agenda: don’t fall for it….
ALL governments have secret agendas, therein lies the problem with government. The citizens will get along with each other, the governments are always the root of the problem!!!!
Another real leader UNLIKE OURS.
