WASHINGTON -- President Trump responded Sunday to reports of a suspected chemical attack in the Syrian city of Douma, blaming Syrian President Bashar Assad and his international allies for the apparent attack that left dozens dead and hundreds injured. In some of his most critical comments directed at Russian President Vladimir Putin to date, Mr. Trump threatened that there's a "big price ... to pay" for those backing the Assad regime.
Syrian opposition activists and rescuers said Sunday that a poison gas attack on the rebel-held town of Douma near the capital of Damascus killed at least 40 people. The alleged attack has been denied by the Syrian and Russian governments. Russia is Syria's closest ally and has a major military presence in the country.
Reports of the latest attack which appeared to target civilians and young children could not be independently verified.

Perhaps they do. How many 911s have occurred on U.S. soil since Bush went after the Taliban and Saddam Hussein?
obvious false flag
last week Trump said he was pulling out of Syria
today Deepstate drags him in
How many 911s occurred on U.S. soil BEFORE then?
Smart move
Destroyed the country, gave the oil fields to the Europeans and Chinese
Gave the weapons to ISIS in Iraq and Syria
Gave the Africans an open gateway to invade Europe via the Med
Gave the gold to...
Gave the determination to possess nukes for self survival to North Korea and Iran
ABC Noose and Prog Propaganda is an integral part of the Western Enemedia, Deep Swamp, Globalist Treason, and this False Flag is even less credible than the ABC oft reported "Trump Dossier" and fed to Trump from exactly the same Swamp.
Trump will do what Trump will do, but the Progs still hold out hope for their Mob Rule and World War, as it will be the end of Trump and a victory for them.
looks like false flag to me. Coming just after Saudi ruler met with cronies in DC for coordination. Same guys who said asaddam had WMDs. Lying us into war - and expanding the genocide on Middle East Christians
Same folks who denounced Russian elections now kiss up to ruler of Saudi, where no elections are ever held
War with Russia? Very doubtful. Even they won't want mixed up with chemical weapons attacks and we have more to be allies with them against Islamic hordes than not. In my opinion, the Dems and media have made a complete mess our relations with Russia, as way to attack Trump, who should be our friend and ally. Trump's got to navigate that. Bolton won't help on that topic.
Get Israel on the case
well here is the deal silverleaf, it’s the last rebel stronghold, the Syrian government has it blocked off, what is the natural conclusion?
” We have to do this or look weak”
How many wars in history have been started by attack poodles like Graham. ?
US. needs to stay out of this and not get dragged further into it. Let Egypt and Saudis take care of it
“I would prefer taking out the Syrian Pentagon.”
The one in DC?
No elections were held for the Queen of England either.
First it was 150, then 70, now 40. Trump did not specifically mention Russia, just “allies,” which could mean Iran. Is somebody looking to hype and puff the facts?
People can’t still really believe this crap can they? Does the deep state have, like, 7 different scenarios they replay constantly?
Just Waco.
On the Iraq war beinga Bush masterstroke. “ I think we’re still reaping the benefits. “
lol..we sure are
Its surrounded and under control but not blocked off or under siege
JAI militia accepted terms and the buses started evacuating them about 6 hours ago
Journalists are on the ground reporting
Besides - if it is “ blocked off” how did the White Helmets rescuers and press get in there to start making videos?
Wait never mind about the White Helmets- they just had to change uniforms
> When, exactly, did Congress declare War on Syria or Russia? <
Bingo. But I’m sure the pro-war faction will find some Congressional resolution somewhere that will give them the “authorization” to escalate the situation.
Conservatives are by nature strict constitutionalists. It’s sad that so many of them aren’t bothered by these mini-wars.
Anyway, suppose Trump does strike, and manages to remove Assad. What comes next? Oh, wait. No need to ask that question. Just look at Libya after Gaddafi. It’s a paradise, I tell ya.
You are exactly right. We should not get involved in wars against secular dictators who pose no threat to us.
