Ummmm... Did Putin ask the U.N. if he could attack a sovereign country (ISIS)?

Of course not... Putin does what Putin does. No pushback for it either.

Syria's recognized UN govt asked for the Russians to be there. So Putin is DEFENDING a sovereign country as an ally against a rebellion that is funded from outside sources.

So your statement in programing terms is GIGO (Garbage In Garbage Out).
