Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev has fiercely rebuked U.S. President Donald Trump for authorizing airstrikes against a government airbase in Syria. The comment appeared on Medvedev’s Facebook page. The Moscow Times has translated the text into English:
“That’s it. The last of the campaign fog has disappeared. Instead of the theory he disseminated about working together to fight the main enemy — ISIS, the Islamic State — the Trump administration has proved that it will viciously fight the legitimate government of Syria — in blatant violation of the norms of international law, without the approval of the UN, violating [the United States’] own procedures establishing the need to notify Congress about any military operation that isn’t tied to an attack on the U.S., and on the verge of a conflict with Russia.
“No one exaggerates the value of campaign promises, but there are nonetheless the bounds of decency. Beyond them is absolute distrust. What’s really sad here is our completely ruined relationship. And this, of course, only encourages the terrorists.
“And furthermore the U.S. president has proved with his military action both his lack of originality and his extreme dependence on the opinion of the Washington establishment, which sharply criticized the new president’s inauguration speech. Immediately after his election, I knew everything would depend on how quickly the existing machine could crush Trump’s campaign promises. It took two and a half months…”
Ouch.
Protesters in Russia want Medvedev out ,so I think Medvedev is done
LOL!
LOLOL. Does this mean Trump is not Putin’s sock puppet?
Putin don’t Tweet!
But I sure hope he tries it. It would be a treat to watch.
He’s on Facebook??
Gee, I guess the Russian military personnel on that Syrian base were too stupid to know the Syrians were loading canisters of sarin gas onto their planes. They are accomplices and should be punished.
They were! ;-)
LOL!!!
Seems to me the ROOOsians are protesting a tad to much. Makes me wonder if they were really in on that attack.
They pretty much took care of Aleppo. It aint nothing but a bombed out hole now.
Trump being attacked by the Russians?
This will certainly make life interesting for the
lamestream media.
Russia criticizes Trump for the military strike.
Meanwhile, "widespread approval from European leaders, who deemed the assault proportionate and justified."
Trump has his work cut out for him re Russia, but he may be the best guy to get it done.
I thought Trump and the Russians were in bed together? Didnt the Russians hack the election? Hillary and Chuck Schumer said so.
Lots to choose from from what I’ve been seeing today.
Without the approval of NATO. Russia has veto power. Duh
Yep. Usually posts funny cat videos, occasionally there’s pictures of his wife Natasha making Golubsky while dressed in lingerie. She’s not bad, really.
And with THIS statement, the Democrat, #NeverTrump, and media fraud called “Russia Gate” just DIED.
He posts under a few names, and he posts often. And he pays other to post the same such stuff.
I think you’re confusing NATO with the UN.
