Russia Promises Retaliation

After the US and her allies struck the chemical weapons capacity of the criminal Syrian regime, the poisoner Putin has promised retaliation. When Putin is not trying to murder Russian defectors in Western countries, he is propping up other dictators, some even more bloodthirsty than he is. One of Putin's worst allies is Bashar Assad who has used indiscriminate methods of killing against the Syrian people, including barrel bombs and poison gas. After the last outrage, a gas attack that killed women and children, America and the West had little choice but to respond by force. Not punishing Russian client Assad would have been an open invitation to the Syrian butcher to use WMD even more than he has. It would be a terrible mistake for Russia to follow through with their threats but knowing the nature of dictators, particularly Napoleon-complex little men with big egos like Putin, I am absolutely certain Russia will attempt some foolhardy ad ultimately self-defeating act of revenge.
