Russia, Iran Warn U.S. They Will "Respond With Force" If Syria "Red Lines" Crossed Again
Zero Hedge ^ | 04/09/17 | Tyler Durden

Posted on 04/09/2017 8:16:19 AM PDT by Enlightened1

A statement issued on Sunday by a joint command centre consisting of forces of Russian, Iran and allied militia alliance supporting Syrian President Bashar al Assad said that Friday's US strike on the Syrian air base crossed “red lines” and it would "respond with force" to any new aggression while increasing their level of support to their ally.

In the statement published by the group on media outlet Ilam al Harbi, the pro-Assad alliances says that “what America waged in an aggression on Syria is a crossing of red lines. From now on we will respond with force to any aggressor or any breach of red lines from whoever it is and America knows our ability to respond well."

Earlier on Sunday the UK's Defence Secretary, Sir Michael Fallon, demanded Russia rein in Mr Assad (by which he really meant be willing to accept a new Syrian regime with a pro-western puppet leader, and one who is willing to allow the Qatar gas pipeline to cross the country on its way to Europe.

Fallon also claimed that Moscow is "responsible for every civilian death" in the chemical attack on Khan Sheikhun and said Putin was responsible for the brutal killings “by proxy”, because it was the Syrian president’s “principal backer." The defense minister said the attack had happened "on their watch" and that Vladimir Putin must now live up to previous promises that Mr Assad’s chemical weapons had been destroyed. His comments came after Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson pulled out of a Moscow visit hours before he was due to fly.

“A statement issued on Sunday by a joint command centre”

No names. Sounds like BS.

That pipeline won’t be built anytime soon on behalf of Saudi Afabia.

Just what Trump needs now
A hornets nest stirred up by reacting to a staged false flag
At least McCain loves him now

And now we know the real human rights story....

I very seldom see anything coming out of zero hedge that Is positive for Trump or the nation.

This article seems somewhat contrived. What us it with this site?

Why would Assad be against a pipeline? Surely he’d get paid for allowing it. That’s a strange idea, that all this is over a pipeline.

Sounds like Kadaffy’s “Line of Death”

“This is a ‘Line of Death’, you cross it, you die!”

“Ok, you cross THIS line, you die!”

“Ok, you cross THIS line, you die!”

“Ok. that’s it, you come-a knocking on my door, I’m not coming, out....NYAAAAH!”

They have to beat their chests or suffer embarrassment. You can bet they will not be using gas in the future, therefore, no need to “cross red lines”. Now that the world knows that Trump is willing to use our massive military, they will not be crossing us again. He can now speak softly and people will listen, because they know he has a big stick and is prepared to use it.

ZeroHedge is just a news aggregator like the Drudge Report. They are as good as their sources which in this case are not good.

Or, God forbid, the pipeline could go through jordan and Israel right into the maMed. But the bigots couldn’t possibly make such a deal with the Jews!

“Zero Hedge is a bat**** insane Austrian school finance blog run by two pseudonymous founders who post articles under the name “Tyler Durden,” after the character from Fight Club ... It’s essentially apocalypse porn. It has accurately predicted 200 of the last 2 recessions.”

The #1 rule of 0hedge? Don’t say nice things about President Trump.
