Russia Condemns Obama For Helping Create ISIS... Its All Over For Him Well, it turns out that Obama has ruined our relationships overseas to a worse extent than we even imagined. According to new reports, U.S. actions in the Middle East may have actually helped the Islamic State gain influence. Or at least, that is what Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev has to say about it. According to the Russian leader, the strengthening of the Islamic State became possible partly due to irresponsible U.S. politics, which focused more on fighting Bashar al-Assad than participating in efforts to destroy terrorism. Earlier this week, President Obama claimed that Russia is facing a strategic choice and that Assad cant stay. Interfax also reports that the terrorist threat can only be fought together, and that the United States was indirectly responsible for September 11 by strengthening al-Qaeda. What do you think of the comments being made?
