Syrian aircraft took off from al-Shayrat airfield on Friday in apparent act of defiance
The Kremlin has warned the US it is ‘one step from war' over Syria - but the Trump administration hit back by saying it would be prepared to carry out airstrikes again.
In the first direct American raid on Bashar al Assad’s forces, President Trump authorised the firing of 59 cruise missiles at a military airfield.
Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev denounced the US for attacking ‘the legitimate government of Syria’ and for allegedly breaking international law without the approval of the UN.
Mr Medvedev said: ‘This military action is a clear indication of the US president’s extreme dependency on the views of the Washington establishment, the one that the new president strongly criticised in his inauguration speech.'
‘Soon after his victory, I noted that everything would depend on how soon Trump’s election promises would be broken by the existing power machine. It took only two and a half months.
’The last remaining election fog has lifted. Instead of an overworked statement about a joint fight against the biggest enemy, ISIS, the Trump administration proved that it will fiercely fight the legitimate Syrian government’.
But the US President warned he would do it again after unleashing a surprise attack on the Syrian regime with a massive show of firepower.

Certainly agree on that one. The Ivanka wing of the family is concerning.
Okay and thanks.
If it gets Americans killed over there then I wholeheartedly agree.
It's still too early to pat Trump on the back over this strike.
Is the risk of war greater now?
About the same it has been late 70’s when the Islamic world decided that they would use terrorism as means to fight the non islamic world
> I’m gonna go read Red Dawn again to get a feel for how it plays out. <
Perhaps a better book (and movie) for this situation would be The Bedford Incident.
I can't believe how much has been forgotten or maybe it is just not being taught any more. Either way it is time for a very quick refresser before people are dumb enough to start this evil war that destroys our future.
For the Freepers that are for war with Russia.....
FReepers parroting decades old anti-American leftist pablum. Nothing principled or conservative about that. Are you a Democrat by chance?
Seems I remember that Syria was not the only close ally of Russia.
What was the other?
Oh yes, , Iraq.
I thought he ran against Clinton who was the globalist puppet. So.. Trump is a globalist puppet, too and he ran against another globalist puppet so that makes... Bernie the anti-globalist.
Man, I thought quantum physics was hard.
It's really quite amazing how a pea sized brain operates.
We poked the Bear in the eye to send a message to China and NK? Is that a good idea?
So you have to be a pearl clutcher to not want to waste American lives and treasure in that never ending shithole they call the middle east?
Only the dimmest bulbs can’t recognize the threat from Death to America Iran backed by one party state fascist Russia. Soon the Mad Mullahs will be attempting to aim ICBMs at us. Buy a clue before it’s too late, FRiend.
‘one step from war’
Nonsense. Now 1962 was a butt pucker year with the Cuban Missile Crisis. I still don’t like NORAD’S claim of having “something incoming” over the North Pole every Christmas, then they show a photo of Santa Claus.
Syria is Russia's Ally just like England is one of ours. If Russia attacked England we would be expected to defend and we would.
MAD= Mutually Assured Destruction ....we attack Syria, Russia defends their ally we go to war with Russia which has one outcome....MAD.
America has no strategic interest in Syria....none and Trump told us we are not going to be the world's policemen so Trump breaks what he campaigned again.
A Saudi pipeline is not a strategic interest for the US nor is helping Al Quaida which is renamed ISIS by the Obama administration so stupid Americans would think this is ok. Assad acually does not enslave women of other religions like the rebels. Every Muslim country needs a strongman to control them, it is the nature of the religion....there is no Muslim democracy or human rights under Islam. You want a better life for those people, destroy the religion....period.
The last thing that needs real thinking on is this is what the dems wanted with their Russian hacking garbage.....WAR WITH RUSSIA.....ask your self why? Then think about their world government gambit and depopulation agenda and ask yourself where this is taking us and is it likely to be a good thing for your children's future? Or is it just a good thing for the globalist to get the 2 big dogs out of their hair?
Why is this ok for us to do now under Trump,when it was not ok to get involved in Syria with Obama leading the way? This was the Obama agenda people.
Iran & North Korea have taken notice & now they will become our little bitches cause they know TRUMP doesn't mess around!!
I stand with the Commander In Chief.
Thank God we finally have one.
