The poison gas attack by the Syrian regime on the rebel-held town of Khan Sheikhoun killed at least 74 people — including 16 women and 23 children — and wounded over 350, according to the Syrian American Medical Society. Videos and photos taken by activists and medics on the scene showed victims choking and fainting, some with foam coming out of their mouths. Thius reaction is a byproduct of Sarin gas.

A few hours later, Syrian warplanes launched another airstrike on one of the medical clinics where victims of the first attack were being treated, the New York Times reports. Let that sink in for a moment: Bashar al-Assad gassed his own people, then bombed those desperately trying to save the lives of those suffering and dying from the chemicals. .Assad has used chemicals on civilians over 50 times since 2014. Ever seen what it looks like? I have, and it’s ugly.

Prior to the missile attack, Trump warned Russia to remove their people from the airfield we know launched the gas attack so as not to harm them. It should be obvious that they told their allies in Syria to get out also. This attack was to send a message to Assad and Putin that the use of chemical weapons was not to be repeated.

And unlike Assad’s attack, we hit only the airfield involved and didn’t follow up on it by killing other innocents in a medical facility. Russia has been arming dissident countries like Syria, Iran, and Iraq for years with the capacity to use chemical weapons. We are finding evidence os ISL using mustard gas as we speak and there is a strong possibility Russia provided it. It needs to stop

And Ruissia can place a ship in Syria as a threat any time they wish. But if they fire on American craft in the region, they will pay a harsh penalty. One that has been left open for way too many years. And if they consider the gassing of innocents a normalcy, they are no better than the animals that actually accomplish the brutal action.
