Russia's foreign ministry said on Thursday airstrikes against Islamist militants in Syria without a UN Security Council mandate would be an act of aggression, Interfax news agency reported.
"The US president has spoken directly about the possibility of strikes by the US armed forces against ISIL positions in Syria without the consent of the legitimate government," ministry spokesman Alexander Lukashevich said.
"This step, in the absence of a UN Security Council decision, would be an act of aggression, a gross violation of international law."
Screw the UN and the New World Odor.
Were they smiling when they said it?
Oh, I understand. Never mind then.
F’em...I find myself enraged this morning at the cowardly disgusting leadership in this country. At the same time I grieve for the loss of so many Americans unnecessarily murdered by terrorists and their sympathizers!
I expect ISIS to try something pretty significant on U.S. soil at 8:46 and 9:03 CST am
And the Russians had a U.N. mandate to invade Ukraine?
So, flying into Syria without permission from Syria? If it wasn’t for the dire consequences at stake here, it would be absolutely hilarious.
Which brings to mind the comments of numerous pro-Russian clowns who say that Russia knows how to handle muslims and is gonna save the world from islam blah blah.
Maybe, sorta like invading Ukraine and Crimea?
so would Pootie ask the UN to try obama for war crimes?
or just ratchet up his nuclear stance?
the punk obama is preparing to play with the big boys now, and without congress having a role or a say
surely there will be pictures of Syrian hospitals orphanages schools and mosques destroyed by US strikes as obamites use the opportunity to go after assad and help the IS directly or indirectly with no congressional oversighr
(crickets)
Bush spent a lot of time getting the UN to go along with things, and was still criticized by the left for “going it alone.” And yet the left adores this crazy nutbag Obama, who is “going it alone” only so he can protect ISIS while making it look like he’s opposed, and who hasn’t even mentioned the UN.
I think that’s exactly what this is about and why Putin (who supports Assad) is getting involved.
Obama is not “attacking ISIS” in his unilateral hit on Syria; he’s actually supporting the anti-Assad “rebels,” half of whom ARE actually ISIS affiliates or ISIS supporters.
This is very dangerous and because Obama has ruled out the participation of Congress, he can do whatever stupid thing he wants with no oversight or restraint...and we’ll all pay the consequences.
OK we’ll take the ISIS question to the UN if they’ll take their invasion of the Ukraine to the UN. Deal?
If it can't be worked out, a speedy UN mandate is necessary. The last thing we need is a world dictator. Especially one un-vented having suspected non conservative leanings
It's his country and Assad has spent many years and casualties fighting Islamists, so have the Russians. We, by contrast have helped the Islamists gain foot holds in the Shahs' Iran, Gaddaffi's'Lybia, Mubaracks' Egypt, and recently Assads' Syria.
Dear Vlad,
GFY.

Who do you think has a better grasp of the war against
radical Islam, Putin or Obama?
