The Russian Ambassador to the US has warned of "consequences" after the US and its allies launched a coordinated military action against Syria.

Russia feels threatened by the US decision to strike Syrian targets in retaliation for the alleged chemical attack in Douma on April 7, which Moscow believes was staged.

"A pre-designed scenario is being implemented. Again, we are being threatened. We warned that such actions will not be left without consequences," Anatoly Antonov said in a statement on Friday night. "All responsibility for them rests with Washington, London and Paris."

I hope the Russian response is beautiful . . .

Russia did not respond, it did not shoot down missiles and it did not hit the launch points.

BECAUSE THEY SAID THEY WOULD NOT unless they targeted Russian federation facilities!

Russia has no intentions to use its Aerospace Forces against US missiles if Washington decides to carry out new strikes in Syria as it could lead to a large-scale war, a senior Russian lawmaker said Monday.

However, military experts explained that Russian air defences were deployed in Syria in agreement with the legitimate Syrian government to

protect Russian facilities - the airfield, bases, troops and infrastructure of the Russian Air Force.

Russians always keep their word ....no?

Why did they give their word, the us/nato is attacking Syria, their ally. Why not help stop the missiles?

It just gives the us more incentive to go in illegall.

This politics thing pisses me off.

the compulsive hoarder I detect that Russia's less overtly threatened words and actions will ultimately reveal the fact that Russia's government cares for their citizens and the world, while the Western PTB cares not a whit about the world's citizens, and don't care nor love much at all, except the power to take life. They've long since sold their souls cheap.

No matter how benevolent Russia's words might be, I would not like to be on any of the US/UK ships right now.

Recently, I commented on a wise and scary quote by a poster here, (name not available to me) wherein they noted that maybe the PTB don't mind the idea of moving underground, (a la Dr.Strangelove ) and making slaves out of all survivors when they crawl out of their holes.

I just hope to be there, waiting, if/when they do crawl out. . . .

It will be interesting to see the response of Russia, and Iran, Syria, and hey, what's Turkey going to do?

I wonder if one of the targets was Douma? oops we blew it up guys, sorry, makes it difficult to check for CW!

As anartist, above, (and as 'an artist', myself, :-| ), I and he nigh instantaneously noted the same point at different articles regarding missiles being directed to the site of the non event: E. Gouta. (Yet again, great - and humble - minds think alike. )

SOTT Focus:BREAKING: Trump announces US, UK and France launched missile strikes against Syria - UPDATES

US President Donald Trump has approved military strikes in Syria in retaliation for the alleged chemical attack by the Assad government in Douma, near Damascus, last week. The UK and France joined...

At that "Trump announces US, UK..." article, I began with a quote from that article:

"The US-led intervention in Syria comes just hours before the UN's Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) experts were scheduled to visit the Damascus suburb of Douma on Saturday to determine whether chemical weapons had been used there last week."

I there continued, and here continue....

And, doncha know, (nigh certainly) that one primary 'aim' of the strikes will be to wipe out the evidence of NOTHING having happened there!*

AmeriKants: I am an AmeriCAN!

*If the US/West's PTB tried to do the same to cover up the nigh infinite motes of unexploded nanothermite throughout NYC, since the morning of 9/11/2001, they'd have to Nuke the place... I better stop before I give 'our' NAZIS! any ideas.

Well, the Russian response will be measured, cool, and well thought out. The strike on Syria appears to be much like the one last year, i.e, symbolic, and not really enough to damage the Syrian government, the SAA, or alter the course of the war. These are the pertinent points that the Russians will notice. As long as the terrorists are routed from Syria, as long as the Syrian government liberate more of their citizens, and territory from terrorists, then they are winning the war. No need for hot headed actions. My view is, the Russian response will be at the UN, in conjunction with the OPCW investigation.

Interesting to see these punches between an Englishman and a Scotsman... We just need an Irishman to give us the punchline.
