    Russia had talks with the U.S to avoid accidental encounters as the fight against ISIS picks up steam.

    A good Putin move to make friends with the Arab States by getting rid of a terrorist group which threatens them all? The outcome most obviously would be more trade deals with Russia.

    Putin is filling the vacuum Obama created when he withdrew the US from the world stage. Maybe we should start learning Russian? :(

    It wouldn't be such a bad idea:) But good thing is Obama's term is almost done and maybe . . . the next president will undo everything he has done.

    I call this BS!

    The US army officials just announced 17 airstrikes in Kirkuk, Mosul and Ramadi. Obama didn't quite withdraw the US in my opinion.

    There's no denying the fact the U.S is doing the best it can to fight ISIS but remember we wouldn't be fighting ISIS today had American troops not been withdrawn from Iraq.

    In fact the Obama government did NOTHING when thousands were murdered by ISIS. But because the jihadis wanted an enemy that would unite all radicals they had to draw the U.S into the conflict. To get that they beheaded American hostages. Next day, America declares war on ISIS.

    As for the U.S losing ground to Russia, you need to take a look at the article linked to below.

    http://conservativetribune.com/obamas-weakness-makes-putin-strong/
    exas Senator Ted Cruz recently said that President Obama’s perceived weakness on the world stage has enabled Vladimir Putin to flex his strength.

    We have already reported how Obama’s foreign policy is based on “fantasy”. Former Ambassador to the UN John Bolton has even gone so far as to say Obama is intentionally weakening America with his foreign policy.


    Whether weakening America was Obama's goal or a by-product of his foreign policies, fact is America is perceived as weak by Russia, Iran and China [their worst enemies] and the only person who can change that is a new president.
