Despite its military defeat, this terrorist group [IS] retains its significant destructive potential, it can change its tactics and launch attacks in different countries and regions in the world, President Putin said in a statement addressed to members of the Moscow Conference on International Security.
Other extremist groups also present a big threat to the world, according to the Russian leader.
Putin stressed that it is now necessary to think about new forms of multilateral cooperation. It would allow the parties to consolidate the success achieved in the fight against terrorism and to prevent the further spread of this threat.

(7,546 posts)They don't care who rules Syria. They want their base to be secure. So they throw their hat in with Assad, no matter how many innocent people he kills. Trumpy can go suck if he objects. And since Trumpy's M.O. with Putin is to suck and suck more, he's an easy mark for Vlad, so Vlad tells Trumpy to jump, and tells him how high he wants Trumpy to jump. And Trumpy does what he's told.

Why would ISIS NOT consider Russia to be a target of terrorist attacks?
Does ISIS or any Islamic terrorist organization BENEFIT from Russia's largesse?
Just wondering...
