US and Allies bomb Syria
The Defense Department said Friday night that U.S., British and French forces struck three Syrian facilities that officials believe play a key role in Syria's ability to research, produce and store chemical weapons.
Defense Secretary Jim Mattis called it a "heavy strike" that was broader than the attack President Trump ordered one year ago that targeted an airfield. Friday night's strike aimed at the "long-term degradation" of Syria's chemical weapons capabilities.
“We used a little over double the number of weapons this year than we used last year," Mattis told reporters gathered for a late evening briefing at the Pentagon. "Right now this is a one-time shot."

The allied strike, with included manned U.S. aircraft, last about an hour and prompted the Syrian regime to retaliate by shooting surface-to-air missiles, said Gen. Joseph Dunford, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Russia Responds
Statement by the Ambassador of Russia to the USA Anatoly Antonov on the strikes on Syria
The worst apprehensions have come true. Our warnings have been left unheard.
A pre-designed scenario is being implemented. Again, we are being threatened. We warned that such actions will not be left without consequences.
All responsibility for them rests with Washington, London and Paris.
Insulting the President of Russia is unacceptable and inadmissible.
The U.S. – the possessor of the biggest arsenal of chemical weapons – has no moral right to blame other countries.

If Russia forces a war, will it likely take place on their own soil or somewhere like Iran?

My primary thought on this at the moment is our past...
I am glad the President did not strike alone....
IF Russia did indeed tell ASSAD to carry out this attack knowing we would respond...what is Russia after?
Thoughts?

Putin is spewing a smokescreen to cover his hindend. Just because the USA posesses a stock of chemical weapons does not make us hypocrites. The difference is producing WMD Chem weapons, stockpiling and using them on your own people. Putin can't even whine about it.

I agree on the deflecting about chemical weapons and not responding to the President's clear message of his promise to get rid of them...
But why would Russia tell ASSAD to use such weapons? Why would they DEFEND that use? And why was ASSAD recent UN appointment:

Assad wants to stay in power. Russia wants to be there. Probably to simple but it’s the best I have.
