Russian U.N. Ambassador Vassily Nebenzia said on Monday that Moscow has warned the United States of “grave repercussions” if it carries out an attack against Syrian government forces over reports of a deadly chemical weapons attack.

“There was no chemical weapons attack,” Nebenzia told the U.N. Security Council.

“Through the relevant channels we already conveyed to the U.S. that armed force under mendacious pretext against Syria – where, at the request of the legitimate government of a country, Russian troops have been deployed - could lead to grave repercussions,” he said.

U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley told the council that Washington “will respond” to the attack on a rebel-held town in Syria regardless of whether the United Nations Security Council acts or not.

Thank you. There is a lot of BS on this thread and it good to flame sometimes.

Syria has performed many gas attacks. Don’t know why this one is so special.

There are no chemical weapons in Syria. Obama got rid of them.

Rebels have a few though. So does deep state.

Syria is winning the war. Why would they ruin it by using chemical weapons? Now the rebels would benefit from a chemical attack on their own people. Seems like it’s working.

Bush and Putin put on their wizard robes and teleported their chemical weapons back.

Or they just didn't turn all of them over.

Despite Russian aid, the Syrian government controls a rump state around the wrecked cities of Damascus and Homs.

If we attack, let’s hope that all Russians we kill are just contract mercenaries.

Yeah, it’s working just as Putin planned. He wants Russia’s geopolitical opponents divided and fighting amongst themselves. Judging by this thread he is clearly succeeding.

Hey now, don’t pretend Pooty Poot started Obama’s war. You can’t stretch things that far out of reality.

Geez, man, they're obviously at worktables and there's a metal can of bore cleaner on the table to the right of the guy looking down the barrel. And is that the bolt I see laying on the table to his left?

What's so stupid about seeing if your bore is clean? You just leave yours filthy or what?

Nothing is much better than an idiot posting a picture he thinks make someone else look like an stupid only to have their own stupidity proved beyond all doubt. Snickering Dolt would be a better handle for ya'.

How long have you been a photo analyst for the CIA ?

That “rump state” also houses the only people in Syria that can read and write.

Tucker Carlson
21 minutes ago

Assume Assad used chlorine gas. Is it worth starting a war? Overthrowing Assad results in chaos. Thousands die. We might see genocide of one of the last Christian communities in the Mideast. Does it make us safer? Region more stable? How’d regime change in Iraq & Libya end up?

"Yeah, it’s working just as Putin planned."

Have you been this stupid your whole life or does someone pay you to pretend to be an idiot here on FR and elsewhere?

Tucker was so right and so was the military guy he had on.

I hope Trump does not get involved in this.
