Dumbass Brits think that Russia isn't allowed to shoot back

Gen Richard Barrons, who led the UK’s joint forces command until 2016, said on Wednesday he thought UK action alongside France and the US was the likely outcome. He said he hoped the response “extends beyond the tokenism of previous attempts which have been an act of event management and limited by scale and by time”.

May, Donald Trump and Emmanuel Macron held consultations by phone on Tuesday and said afterwards they had “agreed that the international community needed to respond to uphold the worldwide prohibition on the use of chemical weapons”.

Russia’s ambassador to Lebanon, Alexander Zasypkin, said on Wednesday that any US missiles fired at Syria would be shot down and the launch sites would be targeted.

Barrons said the ambassador should think carefully about his words: “He is saying … not only are they going to shoot down the missiles in flight … but by saying launch sites, he is saying they are going to try and sink ships, sink submarines and shoot aircraft out of the sky. That’s war.”

OF COURSE IT'S WAR- you stupid limey . We'll have launched missiles against them FIRST.
Who the fuck do you think you'll be targeting- the Palestinians ?

would it be possible to punish them as proxy for assad?

No.

An attack on Syria would be illegal . If the US abandons the bizarre sanity of the United Nations then full-scale nuclear war will be all but inevitable- and just around the corner.

You can't cherry-pick Security Council decisions. It's there for SECURITY.

Trump has done exactly what he criticized Obama for doing.

He has told everybody what his strategy for handling the conflict is.
