Damascus is behind us

Russian troops will respond to a possible US missile bomb on the government quarters of Damascus. This was stated by the head of the General Staff, Army General Valery Gerasimov, TASS reports .

"In Damascus, Russian military advisers, representatives of the Center for Reconciliation of the warring parties and military police servicemen and military personnel of the military police are located in the facilities and at the facilities. In the event of a threat to life of our military personnel, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation will take response measures both in missiles and carriers that will use them," the general said.

According to Gerasimov, the reason for the American strike may be a provocation with poisonous substances prepared by opponents of the Syrian dictator Bashar Assad. "In several areas of the East Guta, there was a mass of women, children and the elderly brought from other areas who have to portray the victims of the chemical incident. There are already activists of" white helmets "and filming groups with satellite video broadcasting equipment," the head of the General Staff said.

According to Gerasimov, after the provocation, the United States intends to blame the Government forces of Syria of the use of chemical weapons. "As a response, Washington plans to deliver a missile bomb on the government quarters of Damascus," the general said.

Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov also stated that the consequences of a possible US blow would be serious. “If there is another blow of this kind, then the consequences will be the most difficult,” TASS gives the words of the head of the Russian Foreign Ministry. “It is one thing to irresponsibly operate the microphone in the UN Security Council, and the other thing is when the military, and Russian and American, have communication channels, and through these channels it is very clearly said that it is possible and what you can’t do. The American coalition knows this very well”.

On Monday, US Permanent Representative to the UN Nickei Haley said that the American military are ready to strike a new blow to the positions of Assad’s troops if the fire does not stop at the Eastern Guta. "When the international community refuses actions, the time of individual countries comes to take its own measures," Haley said. She recalled that in April last year a missile blow was followed by a missile attack on the Assada Ash-Shayrat air base .

The blows of Assad for Eastern Guta, the suburbs of Damascus, with the use of chemical weapons led to a humanitarian catastrophe. On February 24, the UN Security Council unanimously adopted a resolution on a 30-day ceasefire throughout Syria to deliver humanitarian aid and evacuate the patients and wounded. Earlier, the document has repeatedly broken the document . Nevertheless, government troops continued the attack on East Guta. The evacuation of the civilian population was disrupted. The United States demand to adopt a new resolution on an immediate truce for a month for a month.

“Syria belongs to Russia. They (Russians. - Ed.) They are ruled there, they need to put things in order there, but they whimper because they can’t do it,” Haley noted. “Iran controls Assad, and Russia is a puppet that covers them in the council.”
