Russia: US Deployment of Troops to Syria a Violation of Sovereignty

• AntiWar.com

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.

Isn't deployment of 178 military basis on the soil of 178 nations a violation of Sovereignty. Why must our soldiers die defending the United states, when they are not in the country that they are supposed to be defending
