Russia Reaping What It Sows in Syria: Putin Puts Russia on Path to Peril & Destabilizing Middle East; Downing Russian Plane by Turkey Latest Result

... recruit terrorists and carry out attacks against Russians. It is manifestly in Russia’s interests to join the current anti-ISIS coalition and to focus on ISIS now, not the other rebels, as even with its small percentage of attacks being against ISIS, Russia has still become a object of ISIS's wrath. If Russia were to at least mostly suspend its campaign against non-ISIS rebels and cooperate with the U.S., France, Turkey, and others against ISIS, it would win a tremendous amount of goodwill ...

How the West Lost the Hearts and Minds of the People, of the People of the Middle East

... particular by President Obama, who seems to have developed a very personal and even vain, distain and a very contemptuous dislike of the man. This vanity has, I suggest, prevented him from engaging in any meaningful dialogue, since the start of the first Russia v’s US crisis point, over Ukraine and then Russia’s unexpected and rapid annexation of Crimea – effectively all but torpedoing the US-Russia relationship completely; previously enjoyed by his predecessor George Bush Jnr. The US, EU, Australia, Canada ...

... and (and common) enemy is the rise of ISIS and US Secretary of State, John Kerry has come to realise he needs to be speaking to Mr. Putin, and not any longer be so vocal in chastising him. He needs to form a common and united approach to dealing with ISIS and he needs Russia to be on board, for the simple reason: Russia always did have a far superior intelligence-gathering network in the Middle East, than the US ever did.
