Obama says Russian Federation not hitting the correct targets

President Barack Obama vowed Sunday that the United States and its global partners “will not relent” in the fight against the Islamic State group, insisting the world would not accept the extremists’ attacks on civilians in Paris and elsewhere as the “new normal”. Defence Ministry spokesman General-Major Igor Konashenkov said the jets struck 472 terrorist targets.

Rejecting the notion of an existential threat, Obama said IS “can’t beat us on the battlefield, so they try to terrorize us into being afraid”.

The Obama administration and European and Arab allies are seeking to peel Russian Federation away from its alliance with the Iranian regime, a partnership that has bolstered Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad, the Wall Street Journal reports quoting senior US diplomats involved in efforts to end Syria’s conflict. USA officials have said Russian Federation has started focusing a few airstrikes against IS. French Defense Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian said the West would “annihilate Islamic State worldwide”.

The Syrian National Coalition is the largest wing of the Syrian opposition, which has been fighting against the regime after March 2011. Hollande then heads to Russian Federation for talks with Putin.

“The eight-point plan itself is not central to the discussions in Vienna but Russian Federation is, and we want to be working very carefully and closely and continually with all of those around the Vienna table to come to agreement on how to implement the Geneva communique”, Rycroft said.

But the US, Britain and Free Syrian Army representatives have said the majority of the bombing raids to date have targeted moderate anti-Assad rebel forces instead.

Obama said that they had to go to the heart of the problem that exists inside Syria and Iraq [Da’ish strongholds].

“And I think we’ll find out over the next several weeks whether or not we can bring about that change in perspective with the Russians”, the president added.

“Our nation was horrified, but it’s not going to be terrorized”, President George W. Bush declared five days after those attacks. “Be assured that we stand with you against this new evil that blasphemes against the name of Islam”.

Mendvedev reportedly likened the growth of ISIS to the growth of al Qaeda, which resulted in the 9/11 bombings in NY in 2001.

“We believe there is more that can be done if countries are willing to contribute additional resources”, he said. “We’ve made a few bad decisions subsequent to that attack in part based on fear, and that’s why we have to be cautious”.
