    The United States has rejected a Russian proposal to carry out joint air strikes against armed opposition groups in Syria.

    "We do not collaborate or coordinate with the Russians on any operations in Syria," Pentagon spokesman Navy Captain Jeff Davis told reporters on Friday, explaining that Washington and Moscow have separate military objectives.

    The US and Russia have been carrying out separate bombing campaigns in Syria, where a five-year civil war has pitted armed rebel groups against government forces loyal to President Bashar al-Assad.

    "Russian operations are supporting and enabling the Assad regime and our focus is solely on degrading and defeating ISIL," Davis said, referring to the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant group (also known as ISIS).

    The US position is that Russia and Assad are not friendlies. They routinely attack the FSA for example who are our allies. Al-Nusra is the common enemy but we use them for detente in the NW of the country.

    You can criticize the last but your take demonstrates your ignorance to cir stance quite well.
