Syria Preparing for a Major US Military Attack
Russian troops have already been deployed to 'critical locations' to deter Washington By Mohammad Ayesh
Damascus has taken a series of measures to prepare for an anticipated US military strike, Western diplomats told Saudi newspaper Asharq Al-Awsat.
The measures were decided on Saturday during a meeting of the National Security Council, chaired by President Bashar al-Assad, which included military and security leaders.
As part of the government's preparations, letters were sent to Russia and Iran to request additional protection and Russian army troops have reportedly already been deployed to "critical locations" in order to deter Washington, one diplomat told the paper.
Russian troops may also be sent to protect civilian and military government institutions. It was also reported that the United Nations has moved staff, including diplomats, from particular areas of concern.

The US coalition has been warned ......
There is also a video of Assad driving himself to liberated Eastern Ghouta to visit the SAA units that have all but taken Eastern Ghouta from the US backed terrorists. I could not help thinking ...... would you ever see Trump driving himself in a war zone. He can’t even drive around Washington without a military/secret service escort of dozens of vehicles and a 20+ motorcycle escort.
Remind me again ...... which leader is feared and detested by his people?
