Exactly. There's more going on here than what meets the eye. Hey, there's probably some conflict we don't even know about going on. 

Nations do what's best for them or their interests. Russia isn't doing this because they're so good and want to destroy ISIS... let's not be naive. 

so what are america's interests?

We have an obsession with being the number 1 global power. We actively try to keep Russia and China from gaining influence on the world stage by toppling smaller regimes which are allied with them. In our defense, those regimes do tend to do some pretty horendous things. But... We don't really help afterwards and then the countries are taken over by new, worse groups (like ISIS).

People who say "oil" don't know how economies work or where the oil reserves are. It's a cute thought, but it's always been inaccurate and it stopped being trendy to say once Obama took office.

There is a long history of US interventions all over the world. It started with the Cold War right after WWII. A lot of Europeans think the US only makes mistakes, but if it wasn't for the US, Europe would be under Russian rule right now. There is some merit to what the US does, even if it does **** up a lot. 

Meanwhile, Putin dreams of a pre-Cold War Russia, where the US and Russia were both the power players, of course Putin would prefer if Russia was the only dominant global power (which we should all agree would be much worse than the US).

Control. Stop terror attacks. The US is responsible for ISIS anyway. The least it could do is try to get rid of them.

Counterproductive.. keeping Assad in power (Russia's main goal) will lead even more young people to radicalization. This is fighting the sympton of a way larger problem. It's like giving a country like Ethiopia free food to fight hunger, instead of building roads to allow for more trade so that the states which have a good year can transport their food to the states with a bad year. You can give free food every year, but this will only fix the symptons of a larger problem.

US, Russia could sign Syria air-safety pact in 'coming days': official

This is interesting, but the fact that U.S. supported rebels can turn in an "Alah" minute makes me see why they aren't helping with anti-air support.

Meanwhile, Trump dreams of a pre-Cold War America, where the US and Russia were both the power players, of course Trump would prefer if the US was the only dominant global power (which we should all agree would be much worse than Russia).

Then, as the war escalates, all the welfare-seeking, German-non-speaking, Shariah-imposing Syrian refugees, plus the IS soldiers disguised as Syrian refugees, who have a hard time to cross the Atlantic Ocean, all swarm into Germany. To debilitate Germany's geopolitical power? Sounds legit.

Did I just read that?

:rofl:

Syrians are some of the most educated and secular Arabs, what "sharia-imposing", when did they try that in their own country? There is something called process of integration and most refugees/migrants in the past did in fact learn the language of their host country and their children speak as the natives.

There is still zero evidence that IS sent anyone, in fact those who fought against IS are often falsely accused that they are from them. IS already has supporters in Europe, their goal is "khilafa" and trying to get more people to join them. Not other way around.

Trump has no power in the US and can't be compared to Putin in any way because of it and the relations between China and the USSR is nothing like the relations between the US and Europe, especially during the Cold War.

Your knowledge is severely lacking. Hit the books yo.
