Russian President Vladimir Putin condemned the Western strikes “in the most serious way”, after threatening military retaliation if any Russian forces had been hit, and claimed that Syria anti-air defenses shot-down 70% of all aerial  targets aimed at their country

A perfectly executed strike last night. Thank you to France and the United Kingdom for their wisdom and the power of their fine Military. Could not have had a better result. Mission Accomplished!

He added: “So proud of our great military”, saying that after extra funding it would be “the finest our country has ever had”.

The three targets that had been struck were a scientific research facility in Damascus, a chemical weapons storage facility west of Homs, and a chemical weapons equipment storage site and a command post, also near Homs.

2…………> The Trump Gang Beats Up “Bad Man” Assad: The Motion Picture

The US, UK, and France have carried out air and missile strikes in Syria in retaliation for a suspected chemical weapons attack last Saturday

President Trump said the allies had “marshaled their righteous power against barbarism and brutality”

Islamic Mays’dom of Great Britain opposition was not delighted by Ayatolin May’s surrender to the New World’s Disorder(NWD) whim:

 Corbyn’s letter to PM May

Dear Prime Minister,

I want to thank you for speaking to me last night regarding the bombing raids in Syria overnight, and for the security briefing, you shared. I am very glad that all British military personnel have returned home safely, and hope too that there have been no civilian casualties in Syria.

As I said I believe that Parliament should have been consulted and voted on the matter. The UK Prime Minister is accountable to Parliament, not to the whims of a US President. I believe the action was legally questionable, and this morning the UN Secretary-General has said as much, reiterating that all countries must act in line with the UN Charter.

You assured me that the Attorney General had given clear legal advice approving the action. I would, therefore, be grateful if you would publish this advice in full today.

Given that neither the UN nor the OPCW has yet investigated, it is clear that diplomatic and non-military means have not been fully exhausted. It is now vitally important that the OPCW inspectors, who are due to arrive in Douma today, are allowed to do their work and publish their report into their findings – and report to the United Nations Security Council.

I would, therefore, welcome your assurance that there will be no further bombing raids while OPCW inspectors are on the ground. They must be allowed to complete their inspections without hindrance.

Acting through the United Nations, I believe Britain should now take a diplomatic lead to negotiate a pause in this abhorrent conflict in which hundreds of thousands of Syrians have already been killed and millions displaced.

The refugee crisis places a responsibility on all countries and I the government will now increase its commitment to take additional refugees.

Hundreds of unaccompanied children remain in Europe and the UK must do more through the Dubs amendment. This means engaging with all parties that are involved in the conflict – including Iran, Israel, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and the US – to ensure there is an immediate ceasefire.

We have the grotesque spectacle of a wider geopolitical proxy battle being waged with the Syrian people used as pawns by all sides. I would welcome your assurance that Britain will embark on renewed diplomatic efforts to end this conflict.
Our only priority must be the safety and security of the Syrian people – which is best served by de-escalating this conflict so that aid can get in.

Yours sincerely,

Jeremy Corbyn MP Leader of the Opposition

3………….> NWD Crowd At Work: A Turkish View

In a rebirth of the New World Disorder, the first U.S. strike in alliance with the Islamic Sheikdom of France and the Islamic Mays’dom of UK bombarded military points in the capital Damascus and Hama, Homs, Dera and Suwayda provinces,
including Republican Guard facilities and Al-Dumayr Airport in Damascus, areas near Damascus International Airport, scientific studies and research center, air defense systems at Mt. Qasioun overlooking the Syrian capital and military positions in Kiswah and Qalamoun region.

The airport in regime-held Hama, Hezbollah forces in the Quseir region of Homs, Iranian forces are known as 89th Brigade and some military points in Dera, Khalkhala Airport in Suwayda province and Ezra region of Daraa city were also among the targets of the strikes.

Assad regime reported that air defenses had successfully intercepted some of the missiles, in fact up to 70% of them.

Anatoly Antonov, the Russian ambassador to the U.S., lashed out against the attacks, saying in a statement “a pre-designed scenario is being implemented”.

“We warned that such actions will not be left without consequences. All responsibility for them rests with Washington, London, and Paris,” Antonov said. “The U.S. – the possessor of the biggest arsenal of chemical weapons – has no moral right to blame other countries.”

5…………> Syria Strikes: A German View

German Chancellor expressed support for the airstrikes while maintaining that the Islamic Merkeldom of Germany would not become involved in military action, as NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, Israel, and Turkey called the joint action an “appropriate response to the chemical attack” in Douma that would send a strong signal to Russia, Iran & Co.

The Islamic Sheikdom of France forces fired 12 cruise missiles, all from fighter jets and warships, while the Islamic Mays’dom of Britain’s four fighter jets had fired missiles at the base west of Homs, with all three nations firing 103 missiles.
