The Russians continue to say that they'll still go after terrorists, but that's a very elastic term. They're going after anybody they want. I don't trust them.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Russia continues to side with... rogue states and terrorist organizations, following Vladimir Putin's pattern of gratuitous and unpunished affronts to U.S. interests.
The way I understand it, the Russians are sort of a combination of evil and incompetence... sort of like the Post Office with tanks.
To say that you now trust the Russian military command and control system because some Russian general told you from the bottom of his heart that's the case, strikes me as most unrealistic.
Deep in my heart, I still believe that the democratization of Russia and the democratization of Ukraine will proceed.
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.
International terrorism is throwing down a challenge, and not just to Russia.
Putin believes Russia is back, and he may be right.
In the post war period I began again to have my doubts about Russian policy.
Terrorists are always a threat to someone. If we'll be scared of them, it means they have won.
Russia can become a strategic partner in a fight against international terrorism.
