The Global Times... is a daily Chinese tabloid under the auspices of the People's Daily newspaper, focusing on international issues.[1] [2]
laws we helped establish and are supposed to follow.
Technically he is correct. Yes, the US probably has the power to overlook the admonishment of the international community and go it alone, but the laws should apply to everyone. Of course, if the UN decided to do something by international decision he would be wrong, but right now he is correct despite being putin. Obama stepped out of line, and that gives putin the high ground to say things like this even though we may not like them telling us about laws we helped establish and are supposed to follow.
I am not sure why everyone makes such a big deal of this when we love to toss things like this in russia's face whenever they do stupid stuff. It is bluster and it means nothing in the grand scheme of things.
Citation?
I am pretty sure it is common knowledge the US participated in the establishment of the UN and has committed to acting within the boundaries of that organization internationally. Did i miss something and the US is no longer a part of the UN?
Could you list some of these 'international community laws'? When did we agree to abide by them?
You're inventing international law to claim that a nation cannot act unilaterally.
No, but we cannot commit acts of war in agreement with those laws against a soveriegn foreign nation. Which is what bombing them would be. Do not confuse ignoring the law and lack of punishment with actually complying with the law.

So apparently Putin is not satisfied that the US is no longer planning to attack Syria.
Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday called any possible foreign military intervention against Syria a form of "aggression" that would rattle the entire region and contravene international law.
Putin told a summit of an ex-Soviet security group that he was grateful for its decision to support Moscow's refusal to sanction strikes against President Bashar al-Assad's regime for its alleged use of chemical weapons.
"The members of the Collective Security Treaty Organisation (CSTO) are united in their view that the situation around Syria can only be resolved through political means," ITAR-TASS quoted Putin as saying at a meeting in the southern Russian port city of Sochi.
"Any outside use of force would be a grave violation of international law, which in the language of the UN Charter is referred to as 'aggression,'" Putin said.

When we joined the UN and when we went to the security council two or three times in the last couple years seeking permission and were denied.
Heya Monte. :2wave: That aint all he is doing.....going to be bit hard to strike Syria now.
Russia ready to send observers to Syria
Associated Press – Sun, Sep 22, 2013
Russia is ready to send military observers to Syria to ensure security for efforts to eliminate its chemical weapons, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said.
But the Russian official said his country is not considering sending a full military contingent.
In an interview broadcast Sunday on state TV's Channel One, Lavrov said Russia has proposed that there be an international presence on the perimeter of all areas where chemical weapons experts will work in Syria. "We are ready to share our servicemen and military police to participate in these forces," but "it seems to me that military observers will be sufficient," he said.
Although Russia and the U.S. worked together on the chemical weapons plan, Washington and Moscow remain at odds over several aspects of the Syrian crisis. The United States, along with France, have sought a U.N. Security Council resolution that would authorize the use of force, if Syria reneges on the chemical weapons agreement, but Russia opposes invoking the U.N. Charter's Chapter 7 which would allow force.
Lavrov criticized what he called "impudent" attempts by the West to include that chapter in the resolution.....snip~

Also proposing that others put their skin in the game and troops on the ground around chems. how do you think this affcts things going forward now?
Hi MMC. Good, I hadn't seen that. That would make a US strike about impossible. It's also risky for his troops moving around all those terrorists the US is supporting.
