US Launches Air Strike On Syria: 60 Tomahawk Missiles Hit Syria

[Looks like the neocons are going to get their wish for a war with Russia...We'll see how that works out]

As previewed earlier tonight, the US has launched air strikes against Syria, with NBC reporting that under instructions from President Trump, US ships have launched over 50 Tomahawk missiles, striking Syria. NBC adds that only tomahawks missiles fired, no fixed wing aircraft involved, for now.

According to CBS, the U.S. launched about 60 Tomahawk missiles against the Syrian airfield where the plane that allegedly carried out the chemical attack took off from; hangars and planes were targeted, a U.S. official says.  Two Navy destroyers launched Raytheon missiles against Syria two days after Bashar al-Assad’s regime used poison gas to kill scores of civilians

The decision to strike in Syria marks a stark reversal for President Trump, who during his presidential campaign faulted past U.S. leaders for getting embroiled in conflicts in the Middle East.

The U.S. military has launched more than 50 missiles aimed at Syria, NBC News reported.

A U.S. military official told NBC that 59 tomahawks had been fired, which hit an airfield near Homs.

Earlier Thursday, Reuters reported that a British diplomat had said the United Nations Security Council would not vote on Thursday on a draft resolution to condemn a deadly gas attack on Tuesday in a rebel-held area of northern Syria, but will continue negotiations.

Russia's deputy U.N. envoy, Vladimir Safronkov, warned that day of "negative consequences" if the U.S. carried out military strikes on Syria over the attack.

"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," Safronkov told reporters when asked about possible U.S. strikes, adding that such consequences could be seen in Iraq and Libya.

Western countries have blamed President Bashar al-Assad's armed forces for Tuesday's attack in the town of Khan Sheikhoun in a rebel-held area of northern Syria hit by government air strikes. Syria's government has denied responsibility.

U.S. Senator Marco Rubio appeared to be tweeting about an American offensive action in Syria, posting at 8:44 p.m. ET, "'Be sure of this: The wicked will not go unpunished' Proverbs 11:21 # SyriaChemicalAttack"

Russia warns of 'negative consequences' if U.S. targets Syria

Russia's deputy U.N. envoy, Vladimir Safronkov, warned on Thursday of "negative consequences" if the United States carries out military strikes on Syria over a deadly toxic gas attack.

"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," Safronkov told reporters when asked about possible U.S. strikes.

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

America launches airstrikes on Syria

• The military fired more than 50 tomahawk missiles at al-Shayrat military airfield
•  Moves comes just hours after Trump said 'something should happen' following gas-attack atrocity
• Trump had been weighing up the possibility of launching military strikes after 72 were killed and countless more were injured in the sarin poison gas attack

America has launched airstrikes against a Syrian air base.

The US military fired more than 50 tomahawk missiles at the al-Shayrat military airfield near Homs on Thursday. Officials confirm that no fixed wing aircraft were involved.

The move comes just hours after President Trump denounced this week's horrific chemical weapons attack as an 'egregious crime', saying 'it shouldn’t have happened. And it shouldn't be allowed to happen.'

President Trump is expected to give a brief statement from his Mar-a-Lago estate where he is currently entertaining the Chinese President Xi Jinping and his wife Peng as part of a two day summit. 

Russia now has more than 30 helicopters operating in Syria, including a fleet of around eight Mi-28N Night Hunter and Ka-52 Alligator gunships stationed at its Shayrat airbase southeast of Homs city, according to satellite images posted online by IHS Jane's analysts. 

Trump had been weighing up the possibility of launching military strikes against Syria, after 72 were killed and countless more were injured in the sarin poison gas attack.

CNN reported that Trump had been 'making calls to senior members of Congress saying he is seriously considering something he said he would never do, not that long ago, which is military action in Syria.'

'What Assad did is terrible,' the president told reporters aboard Air Force One en route to Florida, before he met with Chinese President Xi Jinping this evening. 

'I think what happened in Syria is a disgrace to humanity. I guess something should happen.'

Secretary of state Rex Tillerson told reporters Thursday that the U.S. had already been exploring the enlistment of an international coalition to oust Syrian Presidnt Bashar al-Assad.
