“The Russian president called for an international coalition to fight ISIS in Syria.”
“In my opinion, provision of military support to illegal structures runs counter to the principles of modern international law and the United Nations Charter,” Putin said.“In reality, Assad’s army is fighting against terrorist organizations,” he added.
Virtually all of the rebels in Syria have sworn allegiance to ISIS and other jihadist groups and there is not “a secular fighting force to speak of,” The New York Times reported in 2013.
Putin said the Russian response in Syria is legal and appropriate under international law.
“We act based on the United Nations Charter, i.e. the fundamental principles of modern international law, according to which this or that type of aid, including military assistance, can and must be provided exclusively to the legitimate government of one country or another, upon its consent or request, or upon the decision of the United Nations Security Council,” Putin said.
I said months ago and Ill say it again the only way to destroy ISIS is a REAL expeditionary force of 100,000 crack troops from this so called “coalition” You can’t win a war like this, this stupid thing Obama is doing will never work
It’s all in or all out against religious fanatics
You have to have some kind of strategic plan or unified effort and organization. This ragtag “coalition” can’t beat the vicious group of religious fanatics…it’s too scattered with too many varying interests.
Either Obama is the biggest jack-ass in history or he’s deliberately leading this doomed “coalition” for some nefarious interests
On Saturday The New York Times dismissed Putin’s effort as political theater designed to “shore up his ability to single-handedly dominate Russia, as he has for much of the past 15 years.” The Russian effort to help the government of al-Assad fight against U.S. and Gulf Emirate funded and trained terrorism is merely a “bread and circus” stunt intended to distract Russians from the conflict in Ukraine, according to Maxim Trudolyubov, the editor at large of the newspaper Vedomosti, a Russian language business daily.
