Western leaders warned Syria on Saturday that they could launch further missile strikes if chemical weapons are used again, while the pre-dawn attacks were denounced by Damascus and its backers as illegal actions that would carry repercussions.
U.S. forces were “locked and loaded” to strike again if Syria unleashed another chemical assault, said Nikki Haley, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, at an emergency Security Council meeting called by Russia. But one major worry appeared to ease: That the coordinated attacks by the United States, France and Britain late Friday could have set off a direct confrontation with Syria’s most powerful military partner, Russia.
At the Pentagon, the director of the Joint Staff, Lt. Gen. Kenneth McKenzie, said the more than 100 missile strikes delivered a blow to the “heart” of Syria’s chemical weapons network. He acknowledged, however, that Syria retained “residual” capacity, but gave no details on the scope of what could be left.
Later, Russia’s U.N. ambassador, Vasily Nebenzia, hammered away at Western allies for what he termed “aggression” that violated international sovereignty. U.N. Secretary General António Guterres said he hoped to send international inspectors to the missile attack targets in Syria.

This is another example that people really do sell their souls. 
We are watching a 'reality show' just as fake and manipulated as the worst of them.
