Reuters: Putin says to keep cooperating with U.S.-led coalition over Syria

MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russia will keep cooperating with the United States and its partners to fight Islamic State in Syria, but that cooperation will be in jeopardy if there are any repeats of Turkey's shooting down of a Russian jet, Russia's Vladimir Putin said.

Speaking after talks in the Kremlin with French President Francois Hollande, Putin voiced lingering anger at Turkey's actions, saying he viewed the downing of the jet as an act of betrayal by a country Moscow had thought was its friend.

I just can't get over the feeling that Russia is being set up. This faux rapprochement with Washington's creature Hollande, Saudi dealings, Turkey's games, Cameron's push to get the bombers in, German Tornadoes and frigate, Carrier battle groups to the Med. and Israel l....

President Putin better be on his Grizzly. The bag better be more than for show. There's not one of them that can be trusted to do anything but go for the sucker punch. And Russia's chin is wayyyyyy stuck out right now.

Putin is a lion surrounded by Hyenas. He'd better pick and chew one. Quick.
