WASHINGTON, July 1 (UPI) -- The Obama administration has proposed joint airstrikes with Russia on terrorist groups fighting in Syria in exchange for Russia convincing the Assad regime to stop bombing U.S.-backed rebels.

The proposal calls for joint U.S.-Russia airstrikes on the al-Qaida-linked group Jabhat al-Nusra, the main group fighting the government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. In exchange, Russia would stop attacks on U.S.-backed rebels and agree to put pressure on Assad to stop attacks as well.

CNN said the plan was only a proposal. Sources familiar with the deal told CNN it is unlikely Russia would agree. The Washington Post reported the plan has been sent to Moscow and was "personally approved by President Obama and heavily supported by Secretary of State John F. Kerry." Defense Secretary Ashton Carter was originally opposed to the plan but ultimately decided to back the president's decision, the Post reported.

This proposal by America will be used in the Kremlin as toilet paper, because Russia opposes anything that America suggests. and Russia is backing Assad.and the Americans are backing the rebels who are fighting each other as well as Assad.

U.S., Russia discuss cooperation against Islamic State in Syria

WASHINGTON, July 2 (UPI) -- U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and his Russian counterpart, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov spoke by phone Saturday to discuss potentially working together against the Islamic State in Syria.

State-sponsored TASS news agency reported the phone call, initiated by Kerry, came after the Americans floated a proposal to the Russians to work in conjunction against the Islamic State while halting bombing against U.S.-backed rebel forces fighting against the Russian-backed regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

"The discussion was on the ways of settling the Syrian conflict, including the possibilities of the Russian-U.S. cooperation in the fight against terrorist groups active in Syria," a spokesman for the Russian Foreign Ministry said.
