Here's what the OP missed. He's not joining it. He's going to continue to cooperate with it. What a fool the OP is. Well its just a jack ass liberal.
“We respect the coalition that is headed by the Americans, and are ready to cooperate with it,” Putin said. He added, however, that Moscow was “concerned” about whether the coalition was effective, and would have preferred to see a coalition led by the United Nations.
Speaking at the Kremlin after talks with French President Francois Hollande, Putin said the two countries have agreed to expand their bilateral cooperation on military strikes against Islamic State in Syria.
He also said Russia was willing to “avoid any strikes against those territories and those armed forces that themselves are willing to fight against terror.” The United States has accused Russia of using its air campaign to prop up the regime of Syrian President Bashar Assad by bombing anti-government insurgents rather than Islamic State targets.
Hollande's visit coincided with a souring of Moscow's relations with another member of NATO, Turkey, whose military downed a Russian Su-24 bomber on Tuesday, accusing it of violating Turkish airspace.
The incident followed Ankara's appeals to Russia to stop bombing Syria's Turkmen tribesmen, who are of Turkish descent and who are fighting against Assad, and to focus on the fight against terror.
Putin called the downing of the Russian plane a betrayal — suggesting on Thursday that Russian air strikes in northwestern Syria, where Turkmen forces are concentrated, were not aimed against those rebel groups, but against terrorists.
“We are hearing about some tribes that are close to Turkey — Turkmen and so on,” Putin said. “One has to wonder: What are representatives of Turkish terrorist organizations doing on that territory."
