Russia: US Missile Strikes Planned Before Alleged ‘Gas Attack’

Fact checked

Russia’s Foreign Ministry spokeswoman has said that the “gas attack” in Syria’s Idlib province was a convenient excuse to justify US strikes

In the early hours of Friday morning,  the US launched up to 60 Tomahawk cruise missiles against a Syrian military base near Homs in its first direct American attack on the Syrian government.

Donald Trump ordered the strikes in response to the ‘chemical attack’ in Idlib, which he blamed on Syrian President Bashar Assad.

Russia Insider reports:

In a statement given on Friday morning in Moscow, Russia’s Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said that the US missile strikes against Syria were planned well in advance of the alleged “gas attack” in Idlib province on Tuesday.

According to Zakharova:

It is obvious that these missile strikes were planned before. For every expert it is obvious that this decision was made well in advance and before the Idlib events.

She also says that recent events in Syria are being used as a distraction as the US carries out deadly airstrikes in Mosul.

In a statement released this morning by Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov, Putin described the US attack as a violation of international law based on an “invented pretext”.

This is consistent with Russia’s position on how it views Assad’s alleged “war crime”.

Speaking at the Security Council meeting on Wednesday, Russia’s deputy UN ambassador Vladimir Safronkov  said that the US-drafted resolution blaming Assad for Tuesday’s “gas attack” in Idlib province was based on “falsified reports from the White Helmets”, an organization that has been “discredited long ago”.

  1. Noone is attacking the US (besides the US created ISIS)! How many countries is the US bombing currently?
    So, did Trump fall for that False Flag – or did he orchestrate it?

  2. How typical… America once again sticks its nose in where it has no right to… who the fuck is Trump to take it on his high and mighty self to bomb another country on heresay.. now do you yanks see what a farce he is…… he is just another puppet president.. what a fucking shame./…. shame on you America shame…

    • absolutely, I am as mad as you with Trump , the US and their damn military complex which wants perpetual war. He made so many promises that made him look good, but he is just another puppet of the Rothschilds and Soros working for the global elite. This act of aggression on Syria is illegal and unjustified, no matter how sorry he felt for those babies in the photos. White helmets used dead children’s bodies to make the sarin attack look real, and yet didn’t bother to put on hasmat suits, which is a requirement for dealing with a sarin attack. Trump didn’t bother to put a vote to congress nor get approval from the UN for this attack. I think he is done, maybe will be impeached, but then maybe this is the plan. McCain and Hillary are happy Trump is finally on board with the globalists.

    • Amen Rev 18:24….. we Americans hate this buulshit to y’all…. we voted In Trump to get ride of the wicked traitors…. he fell for it and it sucks! Lord have mercy!

  3. It’s common practice for any nation’s military to lay out plans for offense and defense actions, depending on whatever can be guessed at as future developments. The fact, if it’s a fact, that our military had plans in the works, is good reason for a sigh of relief, not a hissy fit.
