US in Violation of International Law

Vladimir Putin’s defense ministry was direct and blunt, saying: “Repeated combat actions by US aviation under the cover of counter-terrorism against lawful armed forces of Syria that is a member of the UN are massive violations of international law and a de facto military aggression against the Syrian Arab Republic.”
 
An ABC report appears to back up Moscow’s claims:
 
An ABC report underpinned this and said: “Over the last four weeks, the US had conducted three air strikes on pro-regime forces backed by Iran that have moved into a self-declared de-confliction zone around the town of al-Tanf in southwestern Syria, where there is a US coalition training base for local forces fighting Daesh.”
Russia declared an end to cooperation with the US to prevent air clashes over Syria and warned of its intention to track and target aerial intruders in its area of operations west of the Euphrates.
If Moscow is not bluffing, we could be headed for U.S.-Russian collision in Syria and what we are witnessing now are the opening shots of the battle for control of the territory and population liberated by the fall of Raqqa and the death of the Daesh “caliphate.”
The army of President Bashar Assad seeks to recapture as much lost territory as possible and they have the backing of Russia, Iranian troops, Shiite militia from Iraq and Afghanistan, and Hezbollah.
Meanwhile, Assad’s and his allied forces opposing Daesh are now colliding with the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) opposing Daesh but if the US decided to shoot down Syrian planes attacking ‘our rebels’, this could lead to a confrontation with Russia.
While in Saudi Arabia, Donald Trump seemed to sign on to what is being hyped as an “Arab Nato,” where the US accepts Riyadh as the principal ally and leader of the Gulf Arabs in the regional struggle for hegemony with Shia Iran.
Since this trip, the Saudis, Egypt, the UAE and Bahrain sealed their border with Qatar, which maintains ties to Iran. Qatar is also host to the largest US air base in the region and Trump gave the impression that Qatar’s isolation was his idea.
If the US is going to use it military power and leverage to solidify the position of Syrian rebels and Kurds, at the expense of Damascus after the fall of Daesh, the US may find itself in a collision with Syria, Russia, Hezbollah, Iran and even Turkey.
