In comments today in the nation’s state-run media, Russian Deputy FM Sergey Ryabkov criticized the announced US plan to deploy 250 more ground troops into Syria, noting that the troops are being sent without the permission of the Syrian government.
President Obama announced the deployment on Monday, ironically less than 24 hours after “ruling out” sending ground troops to Syria. Ryabkov warned the move amounts to a violation of Syrian sovereignty.
This is indeed the position the US has taken historically on such deployments, and the US has been eager for instance to see a government installed in Libya specifically so it can endorse the US war in their territory that will inevitably follow.
Interestingly, when the US first launched its air war in Syria, targeting ISIS and al-Qaeda sites, the Syrian government offered to give them formal permission on condition that the US would coordinate the operations with them. The US has refused, making the actions effectively unlawful, a fact that’s becoming an ever-bigger deal as the US keeps escalating the conflict.
I have serious doubts about the U.S. “coalition” airstrikes actually targeting terrorists. I’m seeing information that indicates they mostly target Syria’s infrastructure and services. Water, power, transportation, healthcare facilities and more are the targets of the U.S. “coalition” airstrikes. This is exactly the modus operandi that has been used to created “failed states” from which huge defense industry profits and economic resources can be extracted with little in the way of oversight, regulation, taxation, or transparency.
Russia is trying to put an end to America/Israel illegal action In the middle East to stop it’s destruction.
Syria is the world’s super powers chess board you have Russia and the Syrian government and Iran with Hezbollah troops from Lebanon Shiite Muslims versus U.S.A.with its allies from Turkey Saudi Arabia Sunni Muslims being supported and supplied from both super powers in a proxy war.Russia acted because the Sunnis were very close to over running the Syrian forces they support and to protect it strategic interest’s the only fresh water navy port and installation they have in the middle east in Syria.That’s why an Iranian General went to Russia to beg for assistance because the U.S.A. and its allies were beating there ass.Vladimir Putin is a smart man he saw the writing on the wall and built up an installation and started an air campaign as a way to show the world it’s war machines and try to use it as leverage to get some sanctions lifted for Russia’s illegal invasion of Ukraine.He also knows were to draw the line the U.S.A.defense spending is 5 times that of Russia’s and it’s installations are literally on Russia’s door steps.Russia can buzz the all the U.S aircraft it wants it can barrel roll over U.S spy planes but if it ever attacked those installations on it’s door steps including radar evading F-22s would certainly remind Russia who the only real Super power to ever use a Nuclear bomb is.Putin knows that’s why he didn’t do anything when Turkey reminded him not to play with fire and blew one of Russia’s jets out of the sky.He didn’t want any part of a war with a NATO ally.Better enjoy your little build up and muscle flexing while you can Russia a Republican President is winning this election no more weak Obama presidency you’re going to see a build up of the USA military like you’ve never seen before and never forget the USA doesn’t just flex or Nuclear weapons we actually have used them…Never forget that
Did you enjoy stroking yourself?
America! F*ck yeah!
“the US has been eager for instance to see a government installed in Libya specifically so it can endorse the US war in their territory that will inevitably follow”
That has certainly been part of regime change efforts before, and aligns with other stated US goals.
Also important would be to use Syria as a freeway to and base for attacks on Iran.
Also important would be to use control of Syria to isolate Hamas so that Israel could re-take Southern Lebanon.
Also important would be to make more permanent the Israel annexation of the Golan.
Also important would be to so isolate Jordan that it could be made over into the needed Palestinian State now that Israel has taken the West Bank.
Syria is key to a lot. There are significant reasons why the US is so determined on regime change despite the evident failures.
Way to earn that peace prize Obeezy. Keep up the bad work until the inauguration and maybe you can out-Bush Bush in the D-bag department.
Russia and China saw weakness in America’s current commander they’re using Edward Snowdens trove of information to exploit the U.S.weakness and test our vulnerability.Obama has been one of America’s weakest president but all that will change this election.Russia invades Ukraine flexes its war machines and NATO responds with the biggest build up on its doorsteps in Eastern Europe it has ever seen.IWhen Russia hears the sounds of those American F-16s on it’s doorsteps and see’s our Destroyers in the Black Sea it sends shivers down its spine.When China starts building artificial islands to beef up it’s capabilities to strike the U.S homeland and to assert itself to the entire South China Seas vast resources and handicap a 5 billion dollar trade route we’ll respond by arming its neighbors building up 5 bases in the Philippines giving Japan the capability to attack a hostile country and arm it’s neighbors to defend themselves.If Russia and Chinas intent was to open the worlds eyes to they’re true intent mission accomplished.You pissed the world off now we make your hollow threats and actions the alarm for a build up on a scale you’ve never seen before.Good job idiots now you’ve got the world’s attention so stop complaining about America’s and our allies response.We’ll defend freedom anytime anywhere that’s why we’re on you’re doorstep.
Wow, that’s a lot of words just to tell me your an idiot.
So, what say you, will the highest priority of our Special Forces be to shoot down a Russian jet? Could be, for compared to the great Kissinger, not an ounce of common horse sense has our latest batch of Empire builders.
Washington’s actions in Syria are purely for conquest. Using the excuse of fighting terrorism is the propaganda used to make the public believe that the US is a “force for good”.
USA does not recognize the sovereignty or independence of any other nation.
