Russian President Vladimir Putin is preparing for unilateral air strikes against Islamic State in Syria if the United States rejects his proposal to join forces, Bloomberg reported on Wednesday, citing two people familiar with the matter.

Russia has increased its military presence inside Syria and its arms supplies to the Syrian army as it steps up support of longtime ally President Bashar Assad, drawing warnings of further destabilization from Western countries that oppose Assad.

A Russian diplomatic source told Reuters on Wednesday that Moscow sees a growing chance to reach international agreement on fighting terrorism in Syria and end the crisis that has stretched into its fifth year.

Bloomberg reported that Putin’s preferred course of action was for the U.S. government and its allies to agree to coordinate their campaign against Islamic State militants with Russia, Iran and the Syrian army. It cited a person close to the Kremlin and an adviser to the Defense Ministry in Moscow.

Bloomberg cited a third person as saying Putin’s proposal called for a “parallel track” of joint military action accompanied by a political transition away from Assad, a key U.S. demand. Russia has communicated the proposal to the United States, according to the news service.

But one source told Bloomberg that Putin was frustrated with U.S. reticence to respond and was ready to act alone in Syria if necessary.

  1. Is this a joke ?? 1st boom berg to second Putin going to bomb ISIL -second boom berg to third – Putin declares all out war of ISIL -third boom berg to fourth- Putin will nuke ISIL . Come on heard it all before from US propaganda machine run out of Tel Aviv you can only cry wolf once and its been said umpteen times . I will only believe this when Russia actually bombs them and Russia admits they have done it .

  2. the ISIS will scurry like the rats they are to other countries among the legitimate refugees and they will be placed “by israel” strategically to cause false flags that will be blamed on the innocent refugees.

  3. Duncan, I don’t care if the Russians will do the bombing of ISIL or if the “polite men in green” (who I hope will soon be all over Syria) will show the Syrian army how to do it. What it is reasonable to assume is that Russia is not openly committed. That’s good enough for me because the Bear is not known to cut and run before the job is done.

  4. The Russians perfectly know that the Jewnited States is not fighting ISIS, on the contrary, they are dropping armament, supplies, food and a bunch of mercenaries from Scandinavia. The Russians are ready for that too. God bless Russia.

  5. TYPO!!!! In my comment above I meant to type “What it is reasonable to assume is that Russia is NOW openly committed.”

  6. Of course the US/NATO/Jews…will not ” cooperate in fighting ISIL”, they created it !

    Putin asked for the Wests cooperation, and they are balking.
    He is calling there bluff.

    Next he will strike,and when he does,it will be very very hard !

    The bear has been patient,but he needed to sharpen his claws just right .

  7. Thank you all of you who support Putin. He is my Hero. He is a real Christian man. the Russian Orthodox Christian church is cleaner than the Roman Catholic church.
