Russia
has warned the United States not to intervene militarily in Syria against
forces loyal to President Bashar al-Assad, threatening
that it may shoot down any aircraft attempting to launch strikes.
In
a bluntly worded statement, a spokesman for Russia’s defense ministry warned
that Russia and the Syrian government had deployed sufficient air defenses to
block any potential attacks.
It
follows rumbling in Washington that the White House may be considering
launching limited strikes against some Syrian regime military targets as an
alternative option for moving forward in the Syrian conflict after
the collapse of U.S.-Russian cease-fire negotiations.
