There was no ' chemical weapons program to attack '.
Chemical weapons inspectors begin their analysis of the alleged incident today. Cart before horse ? Yes- the UK leadership could not risk a parliamentary vote. It has pissed upon its own democracy.
Russia has called for an emergency Security Council meeting as the US, UK and France have clearly parted company with their UN Charter obligations. We are criminals, folks- just like the ' Israelis '- and that's what all this is about.
Russian TV shows their defence department analysis of the strike. It was limited, aimed at defunct facilities . There were, apparently, few or no casualties. No Russians or Iranians were harmed.
Syria's ageing missile defense system brought down many of the 100+ missiles used against it. The Russians gave an exact tally of launches and successful defenses. The Brits launched Tornadoes from their Cypriot base and did not enter Syrian airspace. According to the Russians no French forces were used at all.
Russia will now equip Syria with its advanced defense system- and also its other allies in the region and elsewhere.
With the inspectors starting work today we look very stupid. The level of British stupidity can be gauged from this statement;
Blow them up. Got it ? That's ' up' as in 'up '.
It seems that the Russians will not escalate this matter unless there are any more strikes. No real damage has been done. You'd better cross your fingers and pray that Trump leaves it at that. Clinton wouldn't.
