Washington (United States) (AFP) - The United States, Britain and France launched punitive military strikes against Bashar al-Assad's Syrian regime in response to its latest alleged chemical weapons atrocity, President Donald Trump announced Friday. Shortly after Trump began a White House address to announce the action, large explosions were heard in the Syrian capital Damascus, signalling a new chapter in a brutal seven-year-old civil war. "A short time ago, I ordered the United States armed forces to launch precision strikes on targets associated with the chemical weapons capabilities of Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad," Trump said in a primetime televised speech to the nation....>> https://www.yahoo.com/news/us-france-britain-launch-strikes-syria-trump-013255933.html Hey Russia....SCREW YOU!
"Trump also warned Russia and Iran not to stand by their ally in Damascus."...>> Trump to Russia....start something Be-otch!

"The AP reported: "Syria’s capital has been rocked by loud explosions that lit up the sky with heavy smoke as U.S. President Donald Trump announced airstrikes in retaliation for the country’s alleged use of chemical weapons." AP reporters in Damascus saw smoke rising from the east side of Damascus. "Syrian state TV says the attack has begun on the capital, though it wasn’t immediately clear what was targeted," the AP wrote. Reuters is reporting that, according to a witness, several explosions have been heard in Damascus, with smoke rising on the east side of the city."
keep depleting your tomahawk missiles maddog Mathis and trump your going to need them if china attacks tawian and north korea makes thier move also, dont yah think putin and china talk this out ahead of this and are prepared to make their counter moves
I suspect the russian propaganda machine will be in overdrive tomorrow, claiming this operation was an utter failure, many cruise missiles were destroyed, various F16, F22 were shot down, pilots taken POW, etc).
not if china marines are landing on tawian shores at the same time next week with the maneuvers planed
the missile sites s 400 as further north in Syria not in range of the cruse missiles and they are too expensive to waste on cheaper tomahawks, the prime target of the s400 system would be us stealth jets
Your last predictions about Russia sinking American ships didn’t materialize. You are not good at predictions. Learn something else. Maybe clean a toilet, or something.
I am still waiting for Destroyer of illusion to post photos of those supposed British marines that were captured....but, as we all know, that ain't gonna happen because the whole story about captured UK troops was a fairy tale!
According to this picture, tamahawks that are pounding Damascus are in range. Their speed is comparable to the speed with an airliner. What happened? Putin gave his buddy system with blanks?
Let's see of Putinocchio has any balls and shoots those scary missiles off.....they ain't doin' Assad any good sitting around in the desert!
still early in the game don't yah think Putin is tactical and will wait for the next move on the chessboard ex KGB guy
"Such actions will not be left without consequences". That is the official response from Russia so far. OK, on the count of three, let's all have heart failure.... On one hand, I don't see how by any stretch of the imagination that what goes on in a Syrian civil war is any of our business, so long as it doesn't affect the United States. On the other hand, I said two days ago that I didn't think Russia would 'shoot down' any of our missiles, because they simply don't have the ability. Anybody know for sure whether they tried to shoot down any of our missiles or not...? If they attempted any interceptions, it's pretty obvious that a LOT of them failed.... What I can't figure out is why in the hell Assad would decide to drop barrels of chorine gas on civilians in a suburb of Damascus when he'd already won Syria's civil war! That simply makes no sense at all....
right sure Assad wont give up on russia as a friend this is only a degrading of some of assads hardware, big deal Russia will supply him with newer jets and rebuild the runways
