A statement from Russia yesterday was the re-commitment of Russian troops to Syria protecting the Golan Heights from invasion by Israel. This needs to go before the U.N. Security Council as Israel is an ally to the USA. Such activity by sovereign Russian troops is new. It should rise urgently to the U.N. Security Council to be sure there are clear understanding of borders and incursion limits. 

Of course, that means Assad is backed by the sovereign Russia and not simply Russian mercenaries. The USA has troops in the region and acted to defend themselves killing 200 Russian mercenaries. There should be no active threat to any USA military as it could spark a larger conflict. The region does not need a larger conflict with millions of displaced Syrians already and a death toll pushing one million deaths. Continued aggression and any escalation has to be met with accusations of any player with genocide. The Syrian people need peace.

I also remind the USA has not returned all the children that were border crossers with their parents to their families inside the USA or in foreign lands. This dissolving of families currently named “deleted  families” is a form of genocide. The Trump Administration does not get partial credit. All the children have yet to be returned to their families. Any expense affiliated with this reunification belongs to the USA. These families can’t afford unification and that financial burden is an extension of a genocide. The poverty facilitates the Trump genocide when families are unduly burdened by a punitive government action. Welcome to Trump World where actions through irrational anger turns out to be expensive. Has the class action started yet?
