International Relations: Why doesn't US team up with Assad and Russia to fight ISIL?
Is there any advantage to the US in working with Assad and Russia to fight ISIL?
One argument in favor of working with Assad and Russia is that it would allow the US to focus on its other geopolitical priorities in the region, such as countering Iranian influence or supporting the Israeli-Palestinian peace process. Additionally, it could help bring an end to the conflict in Syria, which would be a positive development for the Syrian people and for regional stability more broadly.
