I think there are good warnings out there on this matter, Walsh, but at least it's just words. Obama and Hilary, on the other hand, used actions to show their subservience to Putin. Might the U.S, under Trump, use Russia and Israel to squash ISIS? I hope so. As I recall we partnered with Russia and an even worse dictator in WWII, and achieved our then-stated goal.
On the other hand, I fully realize we need to be careful with ANY dealings with ANY other corrupt government, including Russia, China, most of S America, all of Africa, the U.N. :), etc., as the fable of the scorpion and the turtle come to mind.😎

Those are exactly my sentiments. Trump has stated many times that one of his main goals is to "get rid of" ISIS. He can't do it alone, and needs the help of other countries. Antagonizing potential allies goes against these goals. Trump is an incredible negotiator and is good at listening. I honestly believe he is capable of putting together a plan for eliminating ISIS that will not fail.
