Not at all, even when he does the right thing.
In four days of heavy bombing against IS, the ministry said, more than 100 cruise missiles were launched and more than 800 “terrorist” targets destroyed in Syria. The general public message of support for the French capital, where an Islamic State-coordinated attack killed a minimum of 129 people last Friday., comes as Moscow makes an attempt to seek out frequent ground with the Western powers within the fight against the extremist group.

Russian Federation has been using ships and planes to bomb U.S.-backed rebel and ISIS targets in Syria.
On October 31, just hours after ISIS took credit for bringing down the Russian airliner in Egypt killing 224 people, Russia hit Raqqa, the ISIS “capitol”, with several cruise missiles.

Putin praised the Russian operation in Syria but said it was “still not sufficient” to wipe out the jihadists in the country and that a “large volume of work” lay ahead.
