I have lots of concerns at working with Russia going against ISIS until we have agreements in terms of what Russia's behavior is going to be.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Russia can become a strategic partner in a fight against international terrorism.
I think there is a good deal of promise in those discussions as well. I think there is a range of matters that might be discussed between NATO and Russia that can provide a mechanism for talking through these issues, a way to give reassurance on these issues.
What I'm concerned about are two things. I think one that John Miller talked about, and that's the radicalization over the Internet that ISIS is very adept at doing. The other one is a foreign fighter threat.
If I correctly understand the goal of American policy, one wishes Russia to be a partner.
I'm very concerned about the countries bordering Russia. But let's stay off that stuff.
We, Russia, are prepared to work with others. I am convinced that stability and security in Europe cannot be considered without taking Russia into account.
The sad fact is, because we've had a failed policy and failed leadership, now we're having to rely on Russians and the Iranians to go into Syria to fight and destroy ISIS.
Russia does not want confrontation of any kind. And we will not take part in any kind of 'holy alliance.'
Russia continues to side with... rogue states and terrorist organizations, following Vladimir Putin's pattern of gratuitous and unpunished affronts to U.S. interests.
I believe the U.S. already understands and will understand more and more that only a strong Russia will respond to the genuine interests of the United States.
