Syria MISSILE STRIKE 'within hours': Eastern Mediterranean on ALERT for 'possible launch'
Daily Express ^ | 4/10/2018 | Joey Millar

A coalition force could fire “air-to-ground or cruise missiles” in the wake of a horrifying chemical attack on innocent civilians in Syria last week.

Aviation experts AirLive have reported this evening a “rapid alert notification” warning aircraft in the eastern Mediterranean to be wary of a sudden missile strike.

AirLive said the alert was issued by Eurocontrol this evening for a “possible launch … within the next 72 hours”.

AirLive said: “According to reports, British forces are mobilising at their bases in Cyprus and Rafale fighter jets could takeoff from St Dizier airbase in France for possible strikes against Syria.”

Our first warship on the scene came from Cyprus. The USS Donald Cook.

giving the enemy, whether we finally eliminate Hezballah terrorist gang this time...or whatever we do....
giving the enemy all this advance warning is NOT the way to win ANY war or ANY engagements

You know that resolution contained a poison pill authorizing war on Syria, right?
It was designed to force a Russian veto for more propaganda vs Russia

““Russia will respond to the US and her allies in the most severe way possible if they launch an attack on Syria. Both fixed and moving assets will be targeted.”

IF, and that’s a BIG IF, Russia fires at US assets, it will be over Syrian territory only. They will not fire on US Ships at sea, or aircraft offshore or over another country.

Now, the big question is whether they will fire on other NATO/Coalition forces...even their bases?

They might.

Either way the world will enter an era of danger it has not seen in decades.

We could be on the brink of a real friggin’ war where we take serious losses.

All to “send Assad a message” about killing those who were trying to kill him.

Why are the Brits and the French so damned determined to start World War 3? And why are we so determined to follow them into the abyss?

This world has gone stark raving mad.

I served during the Cold War before participating in Desert Storm. I think I knew what the stakes are.

Do you know what the stakes are for turning a blind eye to employment of internationally banned WMD’s?

Oh please. Save your humanitarian garbage for the Rwandans.

There are a hundred more bad leaders in the world, but suddenly Assad must be toppled? By four countries with enough ships and planes to invade.

Do you really believe this stuff?

Immensely less than that of global thermonuclear war.

How messed up do your priorities have to be to not see that?

Are you that ready to see this world destroyed?

That’s been the goal of the people behind all this since our 2003 invasion of Iraq. The issue is not what’s the goal of the permanent Deep State scum, it’s whether or not Trump is going to cut his own throat going along with them.

So, you admit that you are gullible enough to believe that false flag?

Only a demented fool desires War. Especially over nothing.

Do you think the Russians, with all the nukes they have had for the last 60 years, and all the proxy wars fought in the cold war, are more suicidal today than then?

Don’t be a drama queen.

Turd worlder islamic jihadis will know that they can obtain and use WMDs with no repercussions if this is not responded to in force. In addition, while we have US forces in the region helping the Kurds or others that are fighting ISIS, Assads weapons are a direct threat to them. I care about our guys doing their jobs and coming home. How messed up are your priorities?

There you go again putting words in others mouths (kind of like a lib). Toppling Assad wont be the goal. Neutering him will be.
