Moscow warns against US military intervention in Syria over chemical “hoax”

In response to US allegations, Moscow warned Sunday that military intervention under “far-fetched, fabricated pretexts” in areas in Syria where Russian servicemen are deployed is “absolutely unacceptable and might lead to very severe consequences.” The US State Department had expressed concern about the reports of chemical weapons use in Douma that allegedly led to deaths of 40 people, claiming that Russia was accountable for targeting Syrians. Moscow refuted the claim as a provocation aimed at disrupting the Jaysh al-Islam rebels’ evacuation from the East Ghouta town.

      Russia developed it but a half dozen countries now produce it … all western. The west sent a team to Russia to dismantle a chem lab after the collapse of the Soviet Union. It is only the west who do not want a transparent investigation and are suppressing evidence…

    The US foreign policy has become a “Mr Bean” movie, my appology for comparing Mr Bean to the White House, since he was a educated man.

      Agreed with Henry,
      Trump indication that he will pull out of Syria makes the matter worse. Actually makes him looks like Obama and his withdrawal from Iraq prematurely

      The joke is US that keeps repeating an obvious lie again and again. You can cry wolf 2-3 times, but how many is it now? This is a very dangerous road to go since Washington lose credability in all the world and when they have something serious to say next time, very few or no one will listen. This is not a good thing for Israel, neither short or long term.

    @David,
    Not familiar with the lie whether obvious or not or the cry wolf thing. Lose of credibility, yes. We lost credibility due to some mistakes done by previous administration (both Rep. and Dem). But who really cares about credibility or the world view of US if we are going to hit Syria or any other nations for that matter?

    Apart from the 75 year failed experiment of communism, Russia has been Christian since 986 AD; not a US natural enemy. Islamist Iran is a natural enemy to US, Russia and Western Civilization; terrible mistake that is not currently recognized in the Kremlin.

    Cut off the head of the snake, being Assad, and Iran and Russia have not a partner in their crimes/plans for Syria and the rest of the region. Russia will continue to obfuscate and deny involvement with chem weapons, when they have been a partner and supplier to rogue regimes in the M.E. going back to Sadam in Iraq.

    If the Russian staged an attack in order to blame the US, then they would get the war that Russia has been trying very hard to start for some time. Russia actually believes it can win a war, due to the US acting weak and indecisive for so long. This is true, even though the Russian military is a shambles and only a shadow of it’s former strength. The bets part of this is that they could always blame the original chemical attack on the US as a “False Flag” attack, which would be ironic, as such an attack carried out by Russia in such a manner would actually be a “False Flag” attack, and not a delusional dream like so many claimed attacks.
