Russia: Obama Is Protecting ISIS According to recent reports, the Pentagon has been refusing to transfer data on terrorist targets in Syria to the Russian military. One Russian newspaper is asking why Obama continues to fight against the Islamic State terrorist group in word only. Russia Defense Ministry spokesman Igor Konashenkov also commented on a recent statement from Michelle Baldanza, a Pentagon spokesperson who confirmed that the US military did not intend to share the information on IS targets until Russia changes its policy towards Syrian President Bashar Assad. We are not going to cooperate with Russia on Syria until they change their strategy of supporting Assad and instead focus on ISIL, Baldanza stated. Konashenkov called the statement refusal from any cooperation in the fight against Islamic State and argued that it is high time to change it. What do you think? Is it time for Obama to step up and take action?
