Should the US Be Involved with Russia?

Far too often do we hear people complaining about our politicians being involved with Russia and their officials.

Generally, here are the arguments that people have from opposing sides on Russian president Vladimir Putin:

1) Putin is a bad leader who did things such as take over Crimea by force and talk big and bad about himself, making him a threat to our country.

2) Putin's undeniable power allows the United States to have a big advantage over the fight against ISIS, and a combination of two forces would make a great alliance.
