Russia warned the United States Saturday against carrying out any attacks on Syrian government forces, saying it would have repercussions across the Middle East as government forces captured a hill on the edge of the northern city of Aleppo under the cover of airstrikes.
Meanwhile, airstrikes on Aleppo struck a hospital in the eastern rebel-held neighborhood of Sakhour on Saturday, putting it out of service, according to the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights and the Local Coordination Committees. They said at least one person was killed in the airstrike.
Russian news agencies quoted Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova as saying that a U.S. intervention against the Syrian army "will lead to terrible, tectonic consequences not only on the territory of this country but also in the region on the whole."
She said regime change in Syria would create a vacuum that would be "quickly filled" by "terrorists of all stripes."

Obama could have done this several years ago when it would have been a much easier lift. Heck -- he even drew all kinds of "red lines in the sand" over there anyway ... but never followed through on them.
No worries, he has a state of the art bomb shelter.
(You paid for it.)
3 more months of this ass bag making decisions. I just hope this country can survive...
Its who wants a pipeline across the gutter? That what all the violence has been about for many years now.
Nah, I was using the phonetic pronunciation of Qatar, trying to indicate that what comes from Qatar comes from the gutter, (which is true). That’s why I capitalized “Gutter” figuring you’d catch on.
Gottcha. Clever and right you are.
Means squat to the Boy King.
Didn't stop him in Libya.
He needs to get us in a shooting war with Russia before the election.
Putin wins. Obunghole and Lurch lose.
The ceasefire was broken when Syria’s forces got bombed. Looking at reports and strategy, people gotta wonder if we encouraged it or at least let it happen.
What if Putin’s move were to declare a country-wide no-fly zone and tell ALL hostiles to exit his longtime ally’s country? Then enforce the no-fly and tell everyone in Aleppo that they have 3 days to flee on foot before the Buratino’s turn it into Grozny’s sister city.
It would certainly ruffle some feathers, but its what countries do when defending their allies. Just sayin...
Absolutely. I just thought of it but the more I know the more true it is.
Surely you jest have you forgotten who our president is “Obama I don’t need no stinking declaration son of gun.”
The US Military (the best equipped, trained, most accurate, and most disciplined on the planet, knew EXACTLY who they were killing, and they were "just following orders".
