VLADIMIR Putin has belittled British sailors as his foreign office blasted Theresa May over reports the UK has sent submarines to move within striking distance of Syria as tensions escalate with Moscow.
Last night it emerged Theresa May had ordered British submarines within range of Bashar al-Assad’s Syrian forces as the Prime Minister moves ever-closer to military intervention, following the sick chemical attack in Douma last week.
But Assad's ally Russia has lashed out at the reports and belittled the UK as Moscow declared Mrs May may regret it.
Russian foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said: “These are young men who do not even know what fate they are preparing for Syria or what fate Theresa May prepares for them.
“She may apologise for it later. But they have to live with it.”
It comes after US president Donald Trump promised “missiles are coming” and warned Syria’s Russian allies they would be powerless to shoot them down.

It is a commentary on risking young men in a ridiculous war
Who writes this russophobe tripe?
...blasted Theresa May...
I’d bet Putin hasn’t forgotten her personally blaming him for that supposed Skripal poisoning.
hey Puttie pooh,
At least the Britts haven’t blown any of their submarines the hell up lately.
How about your commie navy?
Stoopid.
No but they have an aircraft carrier with no planes to launch.
Theresa May is a hag, but she’s our hag, too! Surprise, Mr. Putin! ;-)

Not a lot of testosterone in Europe it seems.
You forgot the empty bottles of vodka and rusting hulks of ships they can’t maintain lol.
That is not the case currently. Stop drinking the Western media Kool-aid.
You forgot Andrea Mitchell, she wants to a piece of ol’ Putin too.
Doesn’t mean they still can’t deliver a motherload of pain and death if threatened.
