Russian PM: US Should Brace For Full Military Conflict With Russia

Fact checked
Russia prepare for full military conflict with US following Syrian attack

Russia has warned President Trump that they are fully prepared for a full military conflict following the missile strike against Syria.

In a statement on Friday, Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev warned that the US strike against the Assad regime not only broke international law, but also risked a war with Russia.

Instead of their much-publicized thesis about a joint fight with a common enemy, Islamic State [IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL], the Trump administration has proven that it will fiercely fight against the legal government of Syria,” Medvedev said.

Ealier in the day, the Kremlin released a statement according to which “President Putin views the U.S. strikes on Syria as aggression against a sovereign state in violation of the norms of international law and on a made-up up pretext. This step by Washington will inflict major damage on U.S.-Russia ties.”

“President Putin views the U.S. strikes on Syria as aggression against a sovereign state in violation of the norms of international law and on a made-up up pretext,” said a Kremlin statement. “This step by Washington will inflict major damage on U.S.-Russia ties.”

Meanwhile, the International Committee of the Red Criss told Reuters that the situation in Syria “amounts to an international armed conflict” following U.S. missile strikes on a Syrian airbase.

“Any military operation by a state on the territory of another without the consent of the other amounts to an international armed conflict,” ICRC spokeswoman Iolanda Jaquemet told Reuters in Geneva in response to a query.

“So according to available information – the U.S. attack on Syrian military infrastructure – the situation amounts to an international armed conflict.”

Previous air strikes on Syrian territory by a U.S.-led coalition have been against only the militant group Islamic State, which is also the enemy of the Syrian government. Russia has carried out air strikes in tandem with its ally Syria since Sept. 2015, while Iranian militias are also fighting alongside the troops of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. ICRC officials were raising the U.S. attack with U.S. authorities as part of its ongoing confidential dialogue with parties to the conflict, Jaquemet said, declining to give details.

The ICRC, guardian of the Geneva Conventions setting down the rules of war, declared Syria an internal armed conflict – or civil war, in layman’s terms – in July 2012.

Under international humanitarian law, whether a conflict is internal or international, civilians must be spared and medical facilities protected. Warring parties must observe the key principles of precaution and proportionality and distinguish between combatants and civilians.

  1. the trumpster thinks the baby murdering Nitwityahoo is his daddy. The trumpster thinks that he is Israhelli. He seems to think that American wants what wealth they have left, and their children’s blood shed, for a war for “Greater Israhell”. Wonder why the trumpster did not run for office in occupied Palestine if he wets his pants in excitement at murdering innocents for Israhell.

  2. The Illuminati, the ones that have a taste for pedophilia and murder, despise Putin and his revived christian Russia. It is so obvious they want to bring down down Assad because he want play Rothschild banker games with them.
