no matter what anyone else says IMO this is all a good thing. Russia and USA cooperation removed almost 90 to 100 percent of the chemical weapons. i believe it is possible for us to come to an agreement to further improve the situation in Syria.
LOL, are we waiting for talking points?
or your nemesis to say something you can call each other names about?

I don't think this is a good thing at all. Russia and Iran are allies. I believe they are our enemies.
Remember when Romney said that our biggest geo political foe was Russia and the left laughed at him? Do you also remember when Obama told the Russian diplomat to tell Putin he would have more leeway after the election? If you think you can trust Putin or Iran for that matter ,I think you gravely mistaken.
As of today it looks like we have some serious issue with what Russia is doing.
It is getting better everyday.
Iranian troops are landing in Syria and will be fighting under the control of Russian commanders to eliminate Assad's opponents.
Assad's opponents are of course The Free Syrian Army; the same folks Obama said we would train. Congress authorized the $500 million Obama asked for to do this training of thousands which ended up training only 5 FSA soldiers.
This goes nicely with the top Russian General now in Baghdad to coordinate military operations with the Iraqis, Iranians, Syrians and Russians.
It looks like they are putting a new band together.

It is a strange place to be. How to talk for 5 straight minutes and actually say nothing.
The State Department actually has seminars for senior staff and communications staff on this particular skill.
