U.S, UK and France Launch Missile Strikes in Syria

The US has called on Russia to end its support for the Syrian regime after at least 70 people were killed in an alleged chemical attack.
The State Department in Washington said it was closely following the "disturbing reports" from the city of Douma in eastern Ghouta, which an aid group with links to opposition forces in the region said had been subjected to "one of the worst chemical attacks in Syrian history" late on Saturday.
At least 70 people were killed in the strike, with more than 500 civilians injured, the Union of Medical Care and Relief Organisations (UOSSM) told Sky News.

Re: U.S insists Russia ends Syria-Assad Support after Chemical Attack kills 70
That denial is even less credible than their insistence that they had nothing to do with the Salisbury attack.
Putin won't be believed on anything he says by the rest of the world if he carries on like this. The only realistic alternative argument is that it really wasn't Assad's regime who did this, but Putin's! They are the only two major players in the area that could have carried out such a mission.
However, I don't think there can be much doubt that this was Assad's work.

Re: U.S insists Russia ends Syria-Assad Support after Chemical Attack kills 70
Latest: U.S President Donald Trump has condemned the attack in Syria in the last few minutes. He calls out President Putin for being responsible for backing the 'Animal' Assad. He says in a series of tweets:
Quote:
Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump
Many dead, including women and children, in mindless CHEMICAL attack in Syria. Area of atrocity is in lockdown and encircled by Syrian Army, making it completely inaccessible to outside world. President Putin, Russia and Iran are responsible for backing Animal Assad. Big price...
....to pay. Open area immediately for medical help and verification. Another humanitarian disaster for no reason whatsoever. SICK!
If President Obama had crossed his stated Red Line In The Sand, the Syrian disaster would have ended long ago! Animal Assad would have been history!

The missile attack has claimed several lives at the airfield, Syria's air defences shot down 8 of the missiles.

That is more feasible. So why did they accuse the US first?

Sorry but that area is under wide satellite surveillance and wherever the attack came from would be recorded and could be proved.

Latest rhetoric coming from The White House: "Russia has betrayed it's obligations it made to Guarantee an end to Syria's Chemical Weapon use and also states Syria cannot conduct chemical weapon attacks without support from Russia and Iran."

Russia UN Ambassador just now @ United Nations, New York: Russia is being "unpardonably" threatened by the U.S, United Kingdom and France.

It may be just coincidence, but Trump only seems to interested in international issues when the headlines aren't going well at home.

Rubbish, given that the headlines have always been against him since day one anyway. So another one won’t matter.

Just seen this : U.S.S Donald Cook has deployed off the coast of Syria. Russian fighter jets have begun to harass the vessel with multiple low passes. DEVELOPING
