Agreed. They are part of the solution now. History has provided us with a singular opportunity . . . Russians and Americans will fight together against a common enemy. Don't be discouraged by the posts you see here. We are the hammer, and the Russians are the anvil. Putin is smart enough to come on board. Let the carnage begin.
Putin and Russia will do what we all do look after number one, we may cooperate on this one, but dont count on this being the new way.
During the 70s and 80s, Russia helped fund and train a whole raft of terrorist groups.
I cheered when ever I saw a Russian helo shot down, a Russian tank go up in flames, it meant there was one less to face me.
