The US military plans to launch a missile and bomb strike against Damascus, but Russia will not stand aside and will respond toughly.

This was told by the Chief of the General Staff Valery Gerasimov. "In the event of a threat to the lives of our servicemen, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation will take retaliatory measures both on missiles and carriers that will use them," RIA Novosti quotes him.. Gerasimov claims that the Americans will firstly accuse the regime of Bashar Assad of using allegedly chemical weapons against opponents.

Washington planned everything carefully.

According to the Chief of the General Staff, there is information that the militants are preparing to use this weapon against civilians, which will be used by the United States. "This is confirmed by the discovery of a laboratory for the production of chemical weapons in the village of Aftris, which was liberated from terrorists," he added.. At the same time, in several regions of Eastern Guta, women, children and the elderly were brought, who would represent the victims of the incident. Also, Gerasimov said that the place has already arrived film crews with satellite video broadcast equipment.
