Russia will likely want to retaliate, and with the US having so much interference in Iraq they may need to cooperate with the US to bomb ISIS back to before the stone age.

No way, they can't be allies.

Unlikely. Russians used to sort out these kinds of issues on their own.

They were allies before US were overtaken by FED mafia.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian-American_Company

USA exists mostly because Russian Empire recognized its independence and supplied them with weapons.

When USA declared its independence, Britain's monarchy requested Russian Empire to help them in suppression of this rebellion, offering gold in exchange for help. Alexander II rejected this proposal, and said that Britain have to deal with this problem themselves. And started supporting the US. ::)

P.S. Yep, support for the separatist movements is a kind of traditional russian thing. :D

They were friendly too in the 80s when Yakov Smirnov became the ambassador for Russia and Reagan and Gorbechov were buddies.

Doubtful, the US's collusion w/ Saudi Arabia to keep oil prices below $50 a barrel is costing Russia's GDP some $46+ Billion this year or so and I can't see Russia/Putin overlooking this to worry about the incident the OP posted. Just doesn't seem likely is what I mean.

Russia will take care of this on its own.  No need for US assistance.  Interests can temporarily align without an alliance being formed.

I would highly doubt this. While the US and Russia have technically long been allies with eachother they have never truly trusted eachother and have generally always (for at least 100~ years) spied on eachother and stolen eachother secrets

If Putin step down, then it possible.

If Putin steps down and someone like Yeltsin comes to power, then Russia will not be USA's ally, but its vassal. Big difference there. BEing allies demands mutual respect. This respect was not there during Yeltsin's era (only demands for subservience), and there is no respect forthcoming from Washington now, only threats and demonisation.

To turn you statement around, if Ron Paul was not cheated out of his presidency, then it would have been possible.

 ??? Wasn't Alexander II born after the American Revolution had already ended?

The French were openly helping the Americans. I'm not sure the Russians declining to help the British can be cited as the reason the USA exists... In fact, I'm sure of it.

Sorry, I missed a bit. :D

Shame on me, it was Catherine the Great of course.

By the way, it's interesting that she's a distant relative of current UK's PM.

I think you will find much of Europe's royal families are related somewhere along the line. Many of them intentionally would only marry other royals, and this was even used as a diplomatic tool, linking two kingdoms/countries by family as a means to preserve peace among their peoples.

He might win if he can get a hold of the info the u.s learned from fighting guerilla warfare.
