Macron Vows Reprisals if Chemical Weapons Used in Syria

إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية W460

France would respond immediately to any use of chemical weapons in Syria, French President Emmanuel Macron said Monday while urging a stepped-up "partnership" with Moscow in fighting the Islamic State group in the country.

"A very clear red line exists on our side, the use of chemical weapons by whomever," Macron said at a joint news conference in Versailles with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin.

"Our absolute priority is the fight against terrorism and the eradication of terrorist groups and Daesh in particular," he said, using an alternate name for the Islamic State group. 

"It's the guiding principle of our action in Syria and in which I want... for us to be able to strengthen our partnership with Russia."

The newly elected French leader said he favored "a democratic transition" in Syria that would "preserve the Syrian state."

He added that "failed states in the region are a threat to our democracies, and we have seen each time they have enabled terrorist groups to advance."

You seem to like dead children, and you contributed to 90% of the chaos. Take your captagon and sit in a corner.

Lol, the only ones who love dead children are those who want to use them for regime-change.

Oh, you know ;). Secondly I want you to walk up to those families who lost children and tell them you're happy, you seem to act like you're infallible on the net, so do it in person to them big man.

It's amusing to see how Naharnet tried to find a "tough" picture of Macron.

I predict another chemical attack, now the Salafist terrorists know how to provoke the Americans into attacking the Syrian government.

and his prediction is as accurate as that of Leila Abdul Lattif;)

Funny how they suppress this fact, which makes them just as responsible.

France was just as naive as Lebanon, allowing these primitive ideologies to enter, cause trouble and impose. Iran's blind followers, you also fit into this category so don't go acting like you're heroes, the rest of society is disgusted by you as well.

Thumb Elemental 29 May 2017, 21:13

The "response" should have happened already, a very long time ago. Who there is bought by Iran in France as well as elsewhere?
