Here’s a major surprise:

Senators John McCain and Lindsey Graham, both armed services committee hawks who have previously criticised Donald Trump on several occasions, were quick to applaude the US President’s offensive.

In a joint statement, they said: “We salute the skill and professionalism of the US armed forces who carried out tonight’s strikes in Syria. Acting on the orders of their commander-in-chief, they have sent an important message: the United States will no longer stand idly by as Assad, aided and abetted by Putin’s Russia, slaughters innocent Syrians with chemical weapons and barrel bombs.”

WW3 FEARS: Russia THREATENED Donald Trump with ‘negative consequences’ if he strikes Syria

RUSSIA has warned Donald Trump to avoid launching strikes against Bashar al-Assad’s regime or they could face “negative consequences”.

Minutes before the United States fired 59 missiles against Syria, Russia’s deputy UN envoy Vladimir Safronkov said: “Think about negative consequences”.

Safronkov added: “We have to think about negative consequences, negative consequences, and all the responsibility if military action occurred will be on shoulders of those who initiated such doubtful and tragic enterprise.”

When asked what those negative consequences could be, he said: “Look at Iraq, look at Libya.”

The warning comes after President Trump’s passionate speech at the White House, following the gas attack in Syria on Tuesday.

Since the suspected chemical attack, the US has launched more than 50 Tomahawk missiles on the Syrian airfield, where the gas assault left at least 80 people dead.

The strike was launched at 8:45 pm ET, targeting the airfield’s hangers, aircraft, runways, and fuel storage areas – while Trump was dining with the Chinese leader Xi Jinping. 

The US strike caused “losses”, according to a Syrian military source, but numbers are yet to be confirmed.

The US military believes the strike has “severely damaged or destroyed Syrian aircraft and support infrastructure” – as many as 14 fighter jets have been destroyed.

Responding to the attack, President Trump held an impromptu press conference and said: “Tonight I ordered a targeted military strike on the military airfield in Syria from where the chemical attack was launched.

“It is in vital national security interests of the United States to prevent the spread and use of chemical weapons.”   READ MORE
