Putin Faults US Strategy on Syria, Urges Broad Coalition Against ISIS

• antiwar.com

A day after reports that the two sides were close to a deal on Syria, President Obama and Russian President Vladimir Putin gave their respective UN General Assembly addresses, and once again the US and Russia are lashing each other for their respective anti-ISIS strategies.

Putin is continuing to push a strategy Russia has been pushing for months, the formation of a "broad coalition" of secular forces to fight against ISIS. In his speech today, Putin likened this coalition to the alliance against Nazi Germany during World War 2.

Putin went on to accuse the US of "egotism" in its war in Syria, aiming to destroy ISIS and the Syrian government at the same time, and assume that America's unipolar view of the world meant this would inevitably lead to an outcome favorable to the US.
