International Relations: Why doesn't US team up with Assad and Russia to fight ISIL?
What about Russia? Can they be trusted to fight ISIL?
Again, the issue of trust is a complicated one. Russia has intervened militarily in Syria in support of the Assad regime, which has helped to weaken ISIL. However, there are concerns about Russian intentions and about how its actions will affect the overall balance of power in the region. Additionally, the US and Russia have very different geopolitical interests, which can make cooperation difficult.
