Russia Says It Told U.S. Where in Syria It Could Bomb

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has claimed that Moscow dictated where U.S., British and French forces were allowed to attack in the weekend's air strikes on suspected Syrian chemical weapons facilities, Sky News reported.

Coalition forces destroyed three storage and production sites in response to an alleged April 7 chemical attack on civilians that killed at least 40 people in the rebel-held city of Douma, near Damascus.

Russia, which supports Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, denied that a chemical attack took place. Investigators from the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons were trying to reach Douma to establish what happened but were struggling to gain access.

According to Lavrov, Russia had been in contact with the coalition in the days leading up to the attack, dictating its “red lines” beyond which air strikes would be considered unacceptable. Russian officials had previously warned that any attacks on Syrian territory would result in Russian retaliation.

Trump just needed face saving. Americans must have "begged" Russians to let them stage some fireworks.

Russia is in full command of the US forces. Now it makes sense!

Bull$hit! Its just face saving from the Russians; and if indeed it's true, then just shows how weak Russia has become - that they had no choice but to allow some bombing to take place.

Russia is made aware of the fact what a Superpower is, A regional power does not stand a chance on a world stage. Its a hard pill to swallow, but with Vodka its seems to work. When one is drunk, expect such chatter.

Facts...all (Russians and Americans etc) are happy to kill Muslims

The rest not worth talking about

Why would your supposedly ally allow your enemy to hit you? What kind of alliance Russians must have been informed as neither the Russians nor the US wants a direct confrontation but saying Russia told US where it can bomb is BS.
