BULLSHIT: "Government officials in Syria and Russia denied any involvement in the attack."

President Trump warned there would be a “big price to pay” for a deadly chemical weapons attack in Syria, and called out Russian President Vladimir Putin by name Sunday for backing the leadership believed to have been behind the atrocious assault.

Trump, in a foreign policy Twitter tirade, also took swipes at Iran and President Obama for allowing the lengthy civil war to take such a gruesome turn, as the administration mulls a slew of responses.

“Many dead, including women and children, in mindless CHEMICAL attack in Syria,” Trump tweeted Sunday morning.

“Area of atrocity is in lockdown and encircled by Syrian Army, making it completely inaccessible to outside world. President Putin, Russia and Iran are responsible for backing Animal Assad.”

Since 2011, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s government has been locked in a lengthy and deadly conflict with resistance fighters.

Opposition activists and rescuers said Sunday that a poison gas attack on the rebel-held town of Douma near the capital of Damascus killed at least 40 people.

Government officials in Syria and Russia denied any involvement in the attack.
