US President Barack Obama has phoned Russian President Vladimir Putin Friday, welcoming Russian cooperation on international efforts to confront Iran‘s nuclear ambitions.
The White House says the two men also discussed the ongoing violence in Syria, a topic that still divides Washington and Moscow.
The White House said Putin and Obama agreed to hold their own meeting in June on the sidelines of the upcoming G-8 meeting in Northern Ireland. Obama also told Putin he looked forward to visiting St. Petersburg for the G-20 meeting in September.

The White House added that Putin and Obama welcome “substantive and constructive consultations” by Secretary of State John Kerry and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov over a political transition in Syria.
The US and Russian leaders’ conversation followed a meeting of US Secretary of State John Kerry and his Russian counterpart, Sergei Lavrov, who met for the first time Tuesday, spending more than an hour discussing the civil war in Syria and other joint matters.

Iraq is supporting Assad. Would be interesting to see Iranian forces moving through Iraq in force.

I have no doubt that is exactly what will soon occur. Once the FSA is cleared out the Iranians will be heading straight to the Golan. The unintended consequence will probably be the violent reaction of Iraqi Sunnis which will create turmoil within Iraq.

Putin is looking at Obama and thinking what the hell are you talking about Barry?
5 Reasons Barack Obama is a Creep
1) Obama NEVER stops campaigning: Barack Obama almost seems disinterested in actually governing the country.
2) What he says is completely unrelated to what he does: Barack Obama is like an alcoholic who pledges to quit drinking and then gets hammered every night
3) He works overtime to pit Americans against each other: Barack Obama’s entire campaign strategy — and don’t forget, he’s always campaigning — is based on convincing different groups of Americans to hate each other.
4) His hypocrisy on bipartisanship never ends: Politics is a brass-knuckled street fight in a phone booth and if you want a friend in Washington, get a dog .
5) He’s such a liar: Calling a politician a liar is a little bit like calling the Occupy Movement lazy and violent,”
