Alliance with Russia faces test after Paris attacks
The Paris attacks created a tactical opening for Vladimir Putin as he sought to form an alliance against the Islamic State. Hollande’s sudden openness to a grand alliance follows Russia’s campaign in Syria, which has failed to curb the rebels and may prolong regional instability. If Washington and Paris join, sanctions on Russia could lift, but terms keeping Assad in power risk undermining the anti ISIS effort. The piece argues a Russia-led pact offers few military gains and may hinder Western aims.
