Moscow slams US aggression in Syria and suspends air safety deal
snip of article:
Moscow slammed the US strike on a Syrian airbase Friday as aggression against a sovereign state, and suspended a bilateral agreement to help avoid clashes in the skies over the war-torn country.
President Putin considers American strikes on Syria aggression against a sovereign state in violation of international norms, and under an invented pretext, said the statement by the Kremlin press service posted on the official website.
US President Donald Trump ordered a military strike on a Syrian air base at 0040GMT, in retaliation for what he said was a very barbaric attack Tuesday that is suspected to have contained a nerve agent.
Moscow has been flying a bombing campaign in support of Syrian President Bashar al-Assads forces since September 2015 and on Wednesday said it would continue to back the regime.
So now what Putin is pissed off at his puppet????
