Damascus has threatened to exercise its legitimate right for self-defense against Israeli aggression and target Tel Aviv airport in a mirror response, unless the Security Council puts an end to IDF intrusions into Syrian airspace.
Apparently fed up with years of Israeli impunity in the Syrian skies and regular strikes carried out in the vicinity of Damascus International Airport, Syria has threatened to retaliate in explicit terms.
The government of North Korea sent a “message of greeting to Bashar al-Assad” on Thursday meant to congratulate Assad for “the 70th anniversary of the [Baath Arab Socialist] Party’s founding.” North Korean state media published the congratulatory note on Friday, following the Trump administration’s decision to conduct airstrikes on a key Assad military base.
“Kim Jong Un, chairman of the Workers’ Party of Korea, Thursday sent a message of greeting to Bashar Al-Assad, president of the Syrian Arab Republic who doubles as regional secretary of the Baath Arab Socialist Party,” the North Korean state newspaper Rodong Sinmun reported on Friday.
“Today the Party is resolutely struggling to courageously shatter the vicious challenge and aggressive moves of the hostile forces at home and abroad and defend the country’s sovereignty and territorial integrity under the leadership of Bashar Al-Assad,” Kim, the dictator of North Korea, is said to have written to Assad.
I've been on this Israel vs Middle East circle jerk since the 90's with Arafat and Sharon. Put up or shut up at this point. Lets get this thing going already.

Syria isn't gonna do this, and it would be the biggest fucking mistake imaginable if they did. Does literally anyone here think they could get away with literally bombing America's 51st state?

Not really, but someone has to give Israel a bloody lip for their constant bombings of surrounding countries. Maybe Syria can call their buddies and they all do it at once.
I seize this opportunity to condemn one more time, from the bottom of my soul and of my visceras, the State of Israel, damn you, State of Israel! Damn you!
