War in Syria: US missiles and Russian bread

The Syrian Army claimed that they shot down more than 70% of the Tomahawk missiles launched from warships and the most modern B-1B aircraft of the US and its allies, including 13 missiles that exploded in the sky over the capital Damascus before reaching targets on the ground.

On the US side, President Donald Trump said that "the result could not be better".

The White House, where President Donald Trump is creating surprises compared to his previous words.

Putting aside the assessment of the warring parties' attacks, the reaction of the Syrian people and the United Nations' attitude towards an independent, sovereign country being unilaterally attacked without convincing reasons... Let's look at the matter from another perspective, which is the issue of trade and economics.

As we know, the US and the West have long imposed economic sanctions on Russia in a number of areas, aiming to weaken the country's economy. However, ironically, Russia's economic strength has been restored quickly after an initial period of decline due to a serious imbalance in the trade balance, due to the decline in the price and export volume of oil and some other commodities...

The Russian economy has been growing at approximately 2% over the past few years, especially the agricultural sector has grown remarkably, making an important contribution to the country's GDP, helping to break the blockade and embargo of the West. And many European countries have had to admit that the embargo has had the opposite effect.

After the bombardment of Syria with more than 100 missiles, the issue of sanctions has been mentioned again. According to RIA Novosti, the US has prepared a plan to implement new sanctions against Russia in retaliation for the Kremlin's support for the Assad regime. The information was reported by the Daily Mail citing the White House Press Service.

An expert from the Atlantic Council, Mr. Brian O'Toole also wrote on his Twitter that "we need to further expand sanctions against Moscow for supporting the Assad regime, a regime that has committed crimes against the Syrian people".

Echoing this view, the Sunday Times reported that London will also introduce new financial measures against Russian businessmen in the UK in the near future. British Prime Minister Teresa May herself said in an interview that “London will consider various options for action against illegal financing by (Russian) businessmen and public officials.”

British Prime Minister Teresa May: London will consider various options for action against illegal financing of (Russian) businessmen and public officials.

It seems that the attack by the US, UK, and France coalition on Syria last Saturday night was not just about probing, testing, or testing a weapon, testing a policy... between the parties involved in the hot Middle Eastern land of Syria.

Let’s wait and see how much more bombs, death, and destruction Syria will have to endure; how will Putin’s Russia be in the face of the West’s “coalition” attacks on the economic and trade fronts? Only then will we know that independence is above all, national sovereignty is everything!
