Disagree- Putin is the force that took the war to ISIS, whilst Obama dithered and abetted them.
Putin can be counted on to protect Russian interests only, which all nations do, however unlike the West who looks at self interests and how it can better its neighbors as a whole, Putin/ Russia couldn’t care less if the West crashes. He will only diminish IS to the point that its no longer a threat to its hegemony, but is fine if it still (in its diminished capacity) still able to threaten the West. He’s a badnik
