MOSCOW — If Russia once maintained at least a semblance of distance from President Bashar al-Assad of Syria, it rushed to his defense after the American missile strike ordered by President Trump on Thursday. The attack cemented Moscow more closely than ever to the notorious Syrian autocrat.
Even as the United States condemned Mr. Assad for gassing his own citizens and held Russia partly responsible, given its 2013 promise to rid Syria of chemical weapons, the Kremlin kept denying that Syria had any such capability.
By championing Mr. Assad and condemning American "aggression," President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia seemed to be burying the idea that he could somehow cooperate with the Trump administration to end the conflict on his terms.

Addendum: The reason US elite want war on Assad is to create a power void so ISIS can finally take over. US supports ISIS through Syrian Free Army which is an ISIS front. The US Elite want war with Russia because this would destroy whats left of the West, allowing it to be overtaken by Radical Islam Globalism. A co-rulership by global superpowers of Radical Islam and Communist China is their plan for globalisation, along with extermination of White Christians and their replacement with Muslim and other third world immigrant invasions. The elite envision a white free world where the white christian has been eliminated. The US Elite hate Rusia because he is an orthodox christian and does not worship transsexuals so therefore he is a strong christian threat to globalist radical Islam. US Liberals hate the christian family, but they are actually tools of the radical islamic globalism and the US elite who are in fact on the side of Islamic globalism, want to exterminate the white christian in America and in Europe, and want to turn the west into a third world islamic theocracy.
