Russia is warning the U.S. against any “military intervention” in Syria over the government's alleged chemical attack against civilians this weekend, saying any such response would be “unacceptable” and lead to the “most serious consequences”.
The foreign ministry in Moscow also says in a statement on its website that allegations of the chemical attack are “fabricated,” suggesting the claims were invented by rebel forces and the Syrian Civil Defense known as the White Helmets.
“It is necessary to warn again that military intervention under invented and fabricated pretexts in Syria, where at the request of the lawful government there are Russian military personnel, is absolutely unacceptable and can lead to the most serious consequences,” the statement reads. “The aim of these false speculations, that have no basis, is to shield the terrorists and the irreconcilable radical opposition, who reject a political solution, at the same time while trying to justify possible armed strikes from outside.”
The alleged attack on Saturday killed 40 in the rebel-held town of Douma, multiple opposition and rescue groups including told The Associated Press, which was unable to independently verify the reports.
It came a year and a day after President Donald Trump ordered dozens of strikes on a Syrian regime air base for its alleged use of sarin gas on April 4, 2017, that killed approximately 100 people, according to the the State Department. More than 30 of the victims were children. The government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad denied carrying out the attack.

Especially if it is the US State Department.
When Paul Ryan, Lindsey Graham, and John McCain are for something, I am as a general rule against it. They are bigger threats to MAGA than Russia or Syria.
I fear that Trump is playing right into the hands of the Deep State.
I was deeply disappointed when the warmonger Bolton was brought on board. Looks as if my fears are coming to fruition.
Trump is about to make a colossal, epic mistake. I hope that he comes to his senses before it’s too late.
For a smart guy, he's flat-out boneheaded on this.
Is he? What's he about to do?
Disengage from Syria...let them kill each other ....respond if US national security is at risk....
Happy Pascha.
I will add my second to that
No. Neither Assad nor his supporters gassed anyone. Try again.
It’s very “interesting” that this so-called attack happened just after Trump announced our pullout from Syria. The Deep State is obviously in a panic.
Al-Qaeda appreciates your support.
Amen.
Well said and thank you!
The Jihadists have been caiught doing this before.
I guess the Deep State is hoping people forgot they create these False Flags?
Umm...Maybe you need to read the article.
Bingo!
Hear hear!
Outstanding post!
And we're supposed to buy without question this completely ridiculous narrative that Assad, on the cusp of winning and with the United States pledged to exit, is going to just start committing chemical weapon atrocities? Really?
C'mon, Deep State, do you really think we're that stupid?
Trump's series of tweets today on the issue were very disappointing. I expect more adult leadership.
Hey B,
Just think of how rich you’d be if you got a dollar for every mooselimb that another mooselimb killed over time.
They been killing each other forever and it ain’t gonna stop here.
And if there wasn’t a load of oil there, no one would give a damn as to them killing each other.
Indeed, He has risen!
Amazing, isn't it?
America's friends:
America's enemies:
Add to that deep staters like Clapper and Brennan causing “others” to do this attack to sucker Trump in to reacting.
A few gassed and dead kids will not bother the Democratic Party or it’s most prominent and former spy Brennan. Anything to sucker punch Trump.
