Assad: US-Led Attack Came as West Realized It Lost Control in Conflict
Posted on April 14th, 2018
After the United States, France, and the United Kingdom launched a total of 103 missiles against Syrian targets overnight on Saturday, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad said the attack increases Damascus’ resolve to continue “fighting and crushing terrorism in every inch of the nation.”
Syrian Air Defense Intercepted 71 Cruise Missiles Launched by West – Russian MoD
The Russian Defense Ministry has commented on a joint US, British and French missile strike on Syria, which took place on the day, when the OPCW experts are set to start a probe into allegations of a chemical attack in Douma, a claim denounced by Damascus as a provocation.
The Russian Defense Ministry stated that most missiles launched by the Western states on Syria had been downed by the Arab Republic’s air defenses while approaching their targets.
“The Syrian air defense system has been conducting an anti-air fight,” the ministry added.
According to the Russian Defense Ministry, Syria repelled the Western attack with air defense systems made in the USSR over 30 years ago.

What We Know So Far on Syria Missile Strike Before Probe Into “Chemical Attack”
On Friday, US President Donald Trump ordered to “launch precision strikes on Syria” in response to the alleged chemical weapons attack in Douma, described by Moscow and Damascus as a false flag. The attack was joined by British and French air forces.
More than 100 cruise and air-to-surface missiles were launched at “civilian and military facilities” in Syria on April 14 in line with US President Donald Trump’s order.
The US warships Porter, Cook и Higgins carried out the attack from the Red Sea, while the French and UK fighters Mirage and Tornado, respectively, interacted with the US bombers B-1 over the Mediterranean Sea.

Last night’s attack seems to be big con where Russia may have greed with the invaders to drop their missiles at a place of no importance,unless prior arrangement was mad to give safe passage to the pilots and get back as a face saving exercise to the invaders.Syrians are quite capable of shooting down a fighter jet. They both are using Syria as a football. One can’t fool the Syrian or any other people all the time.Russians must have got a reprieve for all the vast sums invested in the Western countries.
I get the feeling the Jihadists and the true Syrians will up the stakes and force the Russian military to shoot down a few airplanes that will really shake the people of the Western nations.
I would advice the pilots to jump in to their planes, if downed it would be terrible, remembering what happen to the Jordanian pilot. We must keep out this because it is not our problem and all that humanitarian bs is a lot of tosh.

I meant that my advice is for the pilots NOT to jump into the planes…

From the acts of the west in the last few days, they proved beyond doubt that Terrorists have more human rights than Diplomats.
The west are trying to make Putin the next Saddam Hussein, next Gaddafi.
