Russia responded angrily to a U.S.-led strike against Syria, warning
of unspecified "consequences" that stoked fears the conflict could
escalate.
President Donald Trump ordered targeted military action in the country
late Friday, following an alleged chemical weapons attack that
reportedly left dozens of citizens dead. In recent months, international
efforts to broker a ceasefire and organize a humanitarian response to
the country's crisis have faltered in the face of stiff opposition from
both Russia and Syria.
Russia, which has backed the
government of Syrian President Bashar Assad, has joined Damascus in
denying an attack even took place — even though U.S. authorities have
declared it did with near certainty. The dispute over Syria was the
latest wedge between the West and Russia, which has been embroiled in
multiple controversies with western governments.
In a statement released
on Twitter, Russia's ambassador to the U.S. said the country was being
"threatened," and issued an ominous warning that reprisals could follow.
Russian President Vladimir Putin, meanwhile, branded the coalition
strike as an "act of aggression," as he demanded an emergency session of the U.N. Security Council on Saturday.

"... It is only in this way that we can hope to arrive at truth, and fulfill the great responsibility which we hold to God and our country. Should I keep back my opinions at such a time, through fear of giving offense, I should consider myself as guilty of treason towards my country, and of an act of disloyalty toward the Majesty of Heaven, which I revere above all earthly kings."....I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"
