Moscow will shoot down any U.S. missiles fired at Syria and retaliate against American launch sites, the Russian ambassador to Lebanon has warned.
Ambassador Alexander Zasypkin made the comments on Tuesday while speaking on the Hezbollah-affiliated al-Manar TV channel, Reuters reported.
President Donald Trump is currently considering military action against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad following Saturday’s suspected chemical attack on the rebel-held town of Douma near the capital city of Damascus. Medical relief groups say the attack killed dozens of civilians.

Russia will break up in a generation if not before Syria or not.
Demographics are killing them. And China would sure like Siberia and those resources.
And somehow Russia didn't attack all those countries when their clients Libya and Iraq went away.
“I don’t think it’s really that risky.”
Then I’ll hold your beer...
;^)
“Hmmm. Some launch sites may include USN ships and subs. So.....”
exactly ...
Russia and Syria are also allies of Iran.
I believe our military is lying.
Have you all considered the possibility that maybe POTUS had to push things to the brink with Russia in order to get them to cooperate with regards to Iran?
China will win if we get in a war with Russia.
The Globalist will be happy to have communist China run everything.
Exactly!
But in your world attacking their forces outside their borders is just fine, and they’ll be happy to keep it conventional? And they have a high tolerance for repeated unjustified humiliations?
Now the war party has the POTUS backed into a corner. He can’t show weakness before a Russian threat.
They want this war so badly - given instructions no doubt from Bill Kristol and Karl Rove.
Yep, this is what the Deep State brought us to. Trump maybe needs to confer with Putin behind the scenes that this will be a single missile launch to save face.
Certainly, and now that we are at the Brink, PDJT says he WILL attack, and The Russians say they WILL counter attack, we are at Put Up or Shut Up.
It is PDJT's right to SAY he will attack, and he is the Legally Elected President of the United States.
The American Electorate, albeit, the American People (including me), are responsible for his actions, and PDJT will do what he will do.
Whatever happens now, there will be consequences, and they will fall as God ordains.
Yes but we might be a little understanding because he has been given little option now. DJT shouldn’t have taken the bait - perhaps he has too many generals whispering in his ear.
Couldn’t have said it better. We are facing down Mueller’s Deep State coup right now. I think that should be the priority.
Yes, but maybe convinced by the lying generals who are advising him, not by actual objective looks at the data.
What I’m suggesting is that now that tensions have ratcheted up, POTUS is in a position to deescalate - for a price (i.e. help us with Iran).
And here’s where the lack of wisdom involved in the Baltic war games and the overthrow of the Ukraine government are concerned.
Russia may very well rationally conclude that their defensive situation will not improve in the future and it must retaliate against an attack on its forces in Syria.
So the scenario is NATO attacks Syria and Russia responds by sinking one or more NATO ships that fired missiles.
How does this not then escalate to a nuclear exchange?
