Putin Considers US Attack In Syria Aggression Against Sovereign State - UPDATES by scully95: 9:16am On Apr 07, 2017 |
![]() The United States' missile strikes on a military airfield in Syria violates international law and represents an act of aggression against a sovereign state under a far-fetched pretext, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Friday. MOSCOW— The US launched 59 Tomahawk cruise missiles at the Syrian military airfield in Ash Sha'irat near Homs late Thursday. US President Donald Trump said the attack was a response to the alleged chemical weapon use in Idlib on Tuesday, which Washington blames on Damascus. "President [Vladimir] Putin regards the US attacks on Syria as an aggression against a sovereign state in violation of the norms of international law, and under a trumped-up pretext at that," Pesov told reporters. Russian President Vladimir Putin also sees the latest US missile strikes on a military airfield in Syria as an attempt to distract from the mounting civilian casualties in Iraq, the Kremlin added. "Putin also sees the attacks on Syria by the US as an attempt to divert the international community's attention from the numerous casualties among civilians in Iraq." The Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) had confirmed that Syrian armed forces do not possess chemical weapons, the Kremlin cited Russian President Vladimir Putin as saying Friday while warning of the danger of ignoring terrorist use of chemical weapons. US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said in a statement after the US attack that there were no discussions or prior contacts between the United States and Moscow ahead of the missile strike on the Syrian base. "The fact of the destruction of all chemical weapons stockpiles has been recorded and confirmed by the OPCW, a specialized UN unit," Peskov told reporters. "At the same time, in Putin's opinion, total disregard for the use of chemical weapons by terrorists only drastically aggravates the situation," Peskov said. 1 Like 1 Share |

US decision to Strike Syria was made Ahead of Idlib Chemical Attack, Used as Pretext to show Force – Russian Foreign ministry [img]http://3.bp..com/-fqcpAreU5eQ/WOdUQSbZtvI/AAAAAAADHyE/i-xghB7MRW8w7dMoaTcu6iWJA8B4_QBEgCLcB/s640/us-agression-in-syria-middle-east.jpg[/img] US attack in Syria is nothing else than a show of force, the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement on Friday. The decision to attack Syria was made ahead of Idlib chmical incident, used as a pretext for this demonstration of strength. The US missile strikes on Syria airfield os a clear act of aggression against sovereign Syria, the Russia Foreign Ministry said. It is obvious that the US missile attack in Syria was prepared “in advance,” the Russian Foreign Ministry stated. “It is clear that the decision to conduct the strike [in Syria] was made in Washington before the incident in Idlib, which was used as a pretext for this demonstration of strength,” the Russian Foreign Ministry said. The US missile attack on the Sha’irat airfield in Syria further degrades Russian-US relations, the Russian Foreign Ministry added. “The actions taken today by the US further destroy Russian-US relations,” the ministry said in a statement. The United States launched 59 Tomahawk cruise missiles at the Syrian military airfield in Ash Sha’irat near Homs late Thursday. US President Donald Trump said the attack was a response to the alleged chemical weapon use in Idlib on Tuesday, which Washington blames on Damascus. “Without bothering to figure anything out, the US moved toward a demonstration of strength, to military resistance against a country that is fighting international terrorism,” the ministry said. Daesh Militants Attacked Syrian Army Positions Simultaneously With US Strike [img]http://4.bp..com/-ECYSn-Ptsz4/WOdZjl0ndgI/AAAAAAADHyc/R0aErr_cGN0EQthckhMyy7MbE61YtSLzgCLcB/s640/us-agression-in-syria-middle-east-1.jpg[/img] Daesh (banned in numerous countries) terrorist fighters had attacked the Syrian armed forces at the same time and in the same vicinity as the US missile strike on its airfield near Homs, an informed source told Sputnik on Friday. The source said the terrorists launched an attack on a Homs-Sha’irat stretch of highway at around 23:00 GMT and held their territory for over an hour until the arrival of reinforcements. “Is it a coincidence that the IS [Daesh] fighters attacked one of the defensive positions of the Homs-Palmyra route simultaneously with the US attack on Sha’irat?” the source said. The US launched 59 Tomahawk cruise missiles at the Syrian military airfield in Ash Sha’irat near Homs late Thursday. US President Donald Trump said the attack was a response to the alleged chemical weapon use in Idlib on Tuesday, which Washington blames on Damascus. 2 Likes 2 Shares |

Like Libya, Iraq and others, Syria has been targeted for destruction. It doesn't matter if an investigation has been made into these chemical attacks. The hegemon is desperate seeing that their head chopping, liver eating "moderates" after 6 years can't get the job done and are actually on the back foot. Either Trump just two days after declaring Assad could stay in power has either been fooled into this stupid action or he's buying time with the war thirsty Deep State. 2 Likes 1 Share |

More than half of the world population are aware & positive that the chemical attack in Syria was only used as a pretext by Amerika to invade Syria officially. There's no doubt that the attack was carried-out by the CIA or atleast their terrorist proxies - as Russia or the Assad forces have absolutely nothing to gain in killing the same civilians that they have been fighting to protect. A lot of questions begging for answers are running through my mind at lightning speed. What happened to the S-300Growler? What happened to the S-400Triumf ? How would other small & weak Nations - who have hitherto, been looking up to Russia for support & protection feel? Two words: Betrayed & Disappointed! What then is the essence of the Russian intervention in Syria if all Putin could come up with is a toothless warning & condemnation? I can understand that Putin has been trying to avoid direct confrontation with NATO but for how long shall we continue to overlook Amerika's impunity & blatant disregard for international law? A popular Yoruba adage says: When the heaven falls, it won't fall only on a single person's neck - it affects everybody. Scully, Putin is making me boil in anger! 4 Likes 2 Shares |

Zoharariel: So was I disappointed but the language coming from the Russian defense ministry seems to suggest that they won't let further acts of aggression go unanswered. The increasingly reckesss manner in which Amerika though has been acting in recent years should give everyone cause for concern. Permit me to quote what someone had eloquently stated: Amerika is a dying beast. But it is a beast that is rabid and thus very dangerous, as it lashes out in fits of hysterical propaganda, lies, Orwellian threats, and ultimately acts of aggression. And this American beast will have to be exposed for the criminal entity that it is–and ended, one way or another. 6 Likes 2 Shares |

Zoharariel: You know the strategy Putin is using in Syria. Remember when Turkey shut down SU-24. He tried to manage the situation, I think he would do the same thing now and just warn the U.S not to try it again. Israel has been doing it also, don't forget but not this huge as to sending 23-59 tomahawk missiles to Syrian Airfield. Where Putin is going with this is clear, it will kill the relationship between U.S and Russia. Russia may use this (hopefully if at all it would respond) transfer some powerful defense system to Syria. Remember the work of S-300vm is to shut down all Cruise missile shock like in Iraq. That S-300vm is also in Syria but only protecting the Russian forces. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Putin has done what he should do and this is exactly what America will do if it were the other way round.

scully95: Russia will not put out her S300 and S400 in Syria anyhow forget about propaganda. They are also afraid of giving the Americans the opportunity to study and develop strategies to manuover the system. In fact, it benefits the US more if those missile defense system is in Syria because it's an opportunity to get first hand view and experience of the system and get a countermeasure to it. The Russians know this and will protect one of thier best deterrent arsenals. So don't expect a full air defense system in Syria, it does not benefit Russia for now especially with Israel lurking behind to gather data from it. 1 Like |

Just30: Nothing will happen. Putin though a tough man is not stupid. It will just affect relations for a while ( and that is just to save face) and everything will be die down. When Putin bombed rebels supported and armed by America, what did America do? NOTHING. When Turkey shot down Russian plane resulting in the death of their soldier, what did Russia do? NOTHING. These guys just put themselves in a tight corner by thier rhetoric but find out they can't really do much when they are dared. This is the same strategy going on with US and China in the SCS. China knows America will not be stupid to go to war over SCS and they do whatever the like not minding the rhetoric coming out of America. America knows China can't attack them in SCS despite China's tough talk and they sail and fly over the SCS and China will do nothing. So Bros, nothing will happen between Russia and the US even if the US bombs again. 3 Likes |

Saintp: Trust me, if they need a countermeasure, they sure know where to get it. Ukraine has loads of that S-300. The simple truth is that the S-300 is still as powerful as anything if only outdated S-200 could shoot down F-16 recently in Syria (that the Isreali denied but were giving threats later to destroy Syrian Airfield, Now U.S has just helped Isreal to do just that). Wonder what S-300 would do. It will surely destroy exiting ones.. Forget it, Russia is not sleeping when it comes to making Hardware, i mean real military hardware for real combat zone. S-300vm in Syria, except if it gets to the Isis hand, then what you are saying could be very possible and fast. Even if that, it will take years to develop and test a countermeasure on it. It does not work that fast. By then you think Russia would be sleeping ? Even as we speak, Russia has already developed S-500.. Russia is not sleeping and keeping its game tight and Up to date ! 2 Likes 1 Share |

scully95: Don't bet your money on some of these propaganda you read on military hardware. Russia is afraid of America as America is afraid of Russia military. Some of these weapons are intentionally overhyped and the intention is to keep the enemy from attempting to attack. Do not vouch for a weapon system until it has been battle tested in a real and even war. This is why at the end of the day, the big boys with their big weapons are cautious on going to war with themselves because you can't be too sure. It is one thing for the S300,400 or 500 to knock out enemy missile and aircraft here and there but it is another thing for it to hold on to perform in a full scale war. You guys stay on your computer and be hyping and analyzing war scenarios you have not witnessed but the guys involved who understand what is on ground approach things with caution irrespective of thier super weapons. 5 Likes |

Saintp: I may agree to some extent with you about not vouching for military hardware that is not combat tested but if for anything, i would trust more Russian legendary weapons more than the U.S cos just by checking the number of wars and battles Russians have countered, something U.S could never ever survive. Yet Russia used its Military hardwares and for that reason, i can to some extent vouch for Russian weapons. Just check how the hesbolar kicked the Israelis out in 2006 war. let me also remind you that all the weapons used then were made by the Russians. Ok. Recently, Nuclear capable ballistic missile was shut down in eastern Ukraine during the Donbass war. That was done by the Russians ok Now lets even analyze it according to Saker He recently said, "I have an important update: based on Russian sources, including video footage and the reports of one Russian journalist on the ground, Evgenii Poddubnyi, it has become clear that the US strike was largely symbolic. Here is the evidence: The Russians were given a warning which they, of course, passed on to the Syrians. The Americans must have assumed that this would happen. The Syrian airbase was lightly damaged: a few number of aircraft were damaged or destroyed, but many of these were in repairs and could not fly. Fuel storage tanks were destroyed. A number of aircraft bunkers were damage or destroyed. A few barracks were also destroyed. There were 6 or 7 casualties, which is very little. Crucially, the runways did not suffer. Now here is the really intriguing thing: it appears that only 23 out of a total of 59 US cruise missiles hit the base. The rest are unaccounted for. This could be due to all sorts of reasons, including Syrian and Russian air defenses or Russian electronic warfare. I tend to believe that the latter is the cause. But then, this begs another question: why did the Russians let 23 of the cruise missiles through? Possibly to appease Trump and not force him to re-strike. Other possibility, to make sure that the political fallout from this stupid and reckless attack still come back to hurt the United States (had they destroyed all the cruise missiles this would not happen). As for the Russian political reaction, I find it rather flaccid: Russia has condemned the attack and suspended the Memorandum of Understanding on Prevention of Flight Safety Incidents in the course of operations in Syria signed with the US. Meh, I am rather unimpressed." Why I am slightly agreeing with you is why did Russia let close to 23 hit the Air-base ? Could it be true just like you said that you cant vouch for military hardwares or they just let it go ? 2 Likes |

scully95: If they Russians repelled almost 20 of the missiles then they system really tried. See, No missile defense system can survive a full scale assault in a real war. The percentage of what you can defend against is the indices you will be able to judge the effectiveness. This is why some countries priortize attack weapon system over defense because in a full out and out war, missile defense system no matter how good will be subdued and will become useless. So forget about the hype, the Russians know the limitations of thier system even though like any other rival military, they will portray it to be the greatest. Secondly there was no way the US would have struck without informing the Russians so that they can leave the area, the problem is between US and Syria not US and Russia. Russia did not strike the US backed rebels without informing the US first. See, forget about the tough posturing of this super powers, they will always know thier limit. 2 Likes |
