MOSCOW, September, 30, by TASS
The President of Russia Vladimir Putin submitted to the Federation Council [upper house of the parliament] a proposal to issue a bill to allow him using abroad the Russian Armed Forces on the basis of "universally recognised principles and regulations of the international law" as the Kremlin's press centre has informed.
[...]
The Upper House's speaker Valentina Matviyenko [Mut-vee-yEn-koh] said the Federation Council was considering the issue in a closed session.

You need to get with the program. When Putin acts like Obama, it’s good. When Obama acts like Putin, it’s bad.
"Bummer. How'm I gonna get-rich-quick
like the Clintons did if Putin won't cooperate?"
"Hahahaha. US ntl security?
Hahahaha. You gotta be kidding, Vlad."
Is he going to ask permission from the UN too? Russia and the libs and even the repubs always insist on that when we want to do something.
I think he isn't. I've heard something about that the UN charter allows military help to a internationally recognised government without a decision by the Security Council. Assad is one and he has asked Russia for help.
Ah. I wondered why there’s no UN harpies on it.
The US did not have forces within Libya during their civil war. Operation Unified Protector used air assets from bases outside of Libya. Russia has no bases in the region other than Syria so Russia has to send forces into Syria to assist Assad.
Maybe he doesn't need but still asks for them.
Interesting how that works, isn’t it? Send the troops, ask for permission later. You Russians crack me up.
Well the air war in Syria has started this morning with Russia telling the US to get our aircraft out or they will be treated as hostile.
May God protect our military and our nation and may Congress finally step up and assert its authority to rein in this president before he gets us into WW 3 on behalf of his ego
Well, that's a permission to use, not to deploy.
Oh, ok. LOL
Healthy reaction on finding yourself mistaken.
No, just a hearty laugh. Putin sends the troops first, asks for permission later. Vodka-sodden FR Bolsheviks then make excuses.
FoxNews says nothing about this 'treating as hostile'. Again from that article:
The Russian demand also mirrors one made by Turkey this past July, when Ankara asked U.S. planes to fly only in airspace south of Mosul, Iraq. In that case, 24 Turkish jets bombed Kurdish positions, catching the U.S. off guard.
Does it mean the U.S. are at war with Turkey? Unlikely.
Better yet, post it here and apply it.
Just wait
More will be coming out in the media as they catch up with the story
===========================================
Putin announced the formation of a broad international coalition to fight ISIS in Syria and Iraq. Similar to the anti-Hitler coalition, it could unite a broad range of forces to fight those, who, just like the Nazis, sow evil and hatred of humankind, Putin said.
We had to hear it from Russia? Why couldn't the WH ding-a-ling mouth those reassuring words? The easy answer....b/c he sees himself as a defender of ISIS...not the American people.
That reminds me of those like Buchanan who oppose an American effort abroad because we’re a Republic, not an empire. Then, he and they champion Russian expansionism. They’re against US protecting its allies and interest. They see valid reasons for their man Putin to do it.
