The Syrian Air Force has destroyed a warehouse in Idlib province where chemical weapons were being produced and stockpiled before being shipped to Iraq, Russia’s Defense Ministry spokesman said. The strike, which was launched midday Tuesday, targeted a major rebel ammunition depot east of the town of Khan Sheikhoun, Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Major-General Igor Konashenkov said in a statement.
The warehouse was used to both produce and store shells containing toxic gas, Konashenkov said. The shells were delivered to Iraq and repeatedly used there, he added, pointing out that both Iraq and international organizations have confirmed the use of such weapons by militants.
The same chemical munitions were used by militants in Aleppo, where Russian military experts took samples in late 2016, Konashenkov said. The Defense Ministry has confirmed this information as “fully objective and verified,” Konashenkov added. According to the statement, Khan Sheikhoun civilians, who recently suffered a chemical attack, displayed identical symptoms to those of Aleppo chemical attack victims.

The President needs to consider that a strong military alliance between Russia & China in the next world war can only lead to an absolute disaster for the United States...
Any accusation against Russia, or their ally, Assad needs to be weighed against the reality that China, not Russia is the emerging military threat that the US will soon have to confront due to North Korea's behavior.
So is RT saying the Syria s knew they were destroying chem weapon stockpile? Sure sounds that way.
If we had credible evidence that the NORKs were about to launch one of their Estes rockets at our west coast,Jimi we would bomb it in a New York minute.
Yeah, there’s a difference between dropping gas canisters and hoisting those ISIS primates on their own petard.
The powers that be want another war. It’s how the stay wealthy and get wealthier.
Jeb or hillary would have guaranteed that
I am hoping Trump’s speaking out on this obvious BS was just to shut the CIA and others up.
If not, then we’ve got trouble.
But mentioning obama’s red line didn’t make any sense to me.
Unless he is preparing his own red line.
What else should a government do to a an islamic terrorist WMD production and storage plant inside its own borders?
Yeah, it’s probably just part of Soddom Hussein’s chemical weapon stockpile that Bush lied about.
That seems to be the case. Probably the wise thing would have been for Syria to invite the US to bomb the chem weapons facility. After all it’s our folks who are making the stuff.
Peter Hitchens has offered his perspective in a blog post within the last 24 hours.
He concludes by noting the servile attitude of nations towards Saudi Arabia, the nation behind the war against Assad in Syria.
Why the bend over to the Saudis, because we are deep in the hole to them $$$$$$$$ with our national debt 20 trillion dollars and growing to 35 trillion.

“Hard and loud. Gets the job done I suppose but leaves a mess for he ones who have to clean the floors.”
What, Mr. Ambassador? You bombed your own warehouses full of chemical weapons? Again?
I imagine that it does, but not as big a mess if islamists were able to deploy it in at their leisure.
President Trump needs to understand what happened out in those warehouses in Syria. It is information he needs to put the threat of ISIS as the source of Syria’s troubles—not Assad. I believe Assad has nuclear weapons and ISIS would love to take control of Syria and have access to them. That is something Russia does not want happening. By building an alliance with Russia, we can defeat ISIS. That alliance may be the first step in building a trust between the U.S. and Russia.
Not buying this. No evidence of sarin exposure and it’s clear by lack of has may gear and secondary exposure. You would need a truck load of chlorine to reach casualty figures and the lack of secondary exposure and fatalities shows this isn’t the case. Large amounts of chlorine needed to reach the claimed casualties would necessitate cleanup and prevent the rapid response of rescuers seen here.
I think this was perhaps staged. More evidence is needed.
>> President Trump would do well to investigate the information being fed to him by the DEEP STATE...
There’s no practical, rational motive for a nation-state to use chemical weapons.
What did Mubarak, Gaddafi, Assad have in common... stabilization over the ME.
What did Obama/Hillary and the Globalists have in common... destabilization of the ME.
Western Europe is literally getting raped by Islam as we speak. And Western Europe is proactively facilitating the abuses. WTF!
Of course there are many, many strong and righteous men & women in Europe. But unfortunately, they’re outranked by the quislings that aim to destroy them.
Not to be confused with :
US Senate bill targets RT & Sputnik as ‘propaganda’

RT (formerly Russia Today) is a Russian international television network funded by the Russian government.
Rab can but wonder.
Nikki Haley’s really waving the bloody shirt in the UN, showing pictures of victims. Unless she’s got evidence that Assad’s jets dropped gas, not bombs, she can flake off.
If they have forensic evidence that Assad used gas on civilians, then show that. Otherwise I want a kiss because a kiss is nice when yer gettin jerked around.
It’s easy to get jerked around at the UN and State Dept. The places are riddled with rats.
It's time for the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
I don’t believe anything anymore but I saw this coming from RT.
But mentioning obama’s red line didn’t make any sense to me
made sense to me- Trump was sending very subtle message - that Obama was no longer in power
