Russia warned the United States Saturday against carrying out any attacks on Syrian government forces, saying it would have repercussions across the Middle East as government forces captured a hill on the edge of the northern city of Aleppo under the cover of airstrikes. Russian news agencies quoted Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova as saying that a U.S. intervention against the Syrian army “will lead to terrible, tectonic consequences not only on the territory of this country but also in the region on the whole.” She said regime change in Syria would create a vacuum that would be “quickly filled” by “terrorists of all stripes.” Can we really blame Russia for making this statement, after only the State Department said if Russia keeps bombing ISIS basically...That Russian bodies would be placed in body bags. The Obama administrations whole goal in Syria is to take out Assad and his forces, so America shouldn't even bet against the possibility of Obama ordering our military or the US led coalition in Syria to attack Syrian forces again. Last week in a US coalition air strike likely US fighters bombed a Syrian Army position killing 62 Syrian soldiers in the strike, so if Obama doesn't attack Syrian forces again with US fighters or Coalition fighters it really would be a major surprise. Things are getting intense in Syria, as it seems with this statement from Russia that Putin is no longer playing with the Obama administration. Question is if Obama and the US coalition force strike Syrian Army targets again in Syria how will Putin respond?
