Trump launches airstrikes on Damascus in response to 'evil and despicable' chemical attack by 'monster' Assad and directly challenges Putin: 'What kind of a nation wants to be associated with the mass murder of innocent men, women and children?'

作为对阿萨德魔头“邪恶卑劣的”化学袭击的回应，特朗普对大马士革进行空中打击并挑衅普京：“什么样的国家才想和屠杀大量无辜的男人、妇女和儿童的国家绑在一起?”

President Donald Trump said Friday evening in a national address that he ordered precision strikes in Syria in retaliation for Bashar al-Assad's 'evil and despicable' poison gas attack that killed at least 60 people last weekend.

美国总统唐纳德•特朗普上周五晚间在全国讲话中表示，他下令对叙利亚进行精确打击，以报复巴沙尔•阿萨德的“邪恶卑劣的”上周末的毒气袭击，这次毒气袭击造成至少60人死亡。

Speaking from the Diplomatic Reception Room of the White House, the commander-in-chief of the United States said the strikes pummeled targets associated with Assad's chemical weapons capabilities.

在白宫的外交接待大厅，这位美国总司令说，空袭打击了与阿萨德的化学武器相关的目标。

'This massacre was a significant escalation in a pattern of chemical weapons use by the very terrible regime. The evil and despicable attack left mothers and fathers, infants and children thrashing in pain and gas for air.' Trump said of the Syrian dr's horrific April 7 attack on innocent civilians in the rebel-held town of Douma. 'These are not the actions of a man. They are crimes of a monster, instead.'

“这次大屠杀是叙利亚这个非常可怕的政权操纵化学武器的重大升级。”邪恶和卑劣的袭击让母亲和父亲、婴儿和孩子们痛苦地喘着粗气。”特朗普说，叙利亚独才者4月7日对叛军控制的杜马镇的无辜平民发动了恐怖袭击。“这不是人类能作出的行为，这是残忍的罪行。”

Trump forcefully confronted Iran and Russia for aligning themselves with 'barbarism and brutality' and said the United States and its allies in the strike, France and Britain, are prepared 'to sustain this response' until Assad discontinues his use of internationally prohibited chemical weapons.

特朗普炮轰伊朗和俄罗斯跟“野蛮残忍”的国家是一丘之貉，并表示，美国及此次袭击的盟友法国和英国准备“维持这种反应”，直到阿萨德停止使用国际禁止的化学武器。

'What kind of a nation wants to be associated with the mass murder of innocent men, women and children?' Trump asked. 'The nations of the world can be judged by the friends they keep. No nation can succeed in the long run by promoting rogue states, brutal tyrants and murderous drs.'

特朗普问，“什么样的国家才想和屠杀大量无辜的男人、妇女和儿童的国家绑在一起?世界上的所有国家可以通过他们结交什么样的友国来判断。长期看来，没有哪个国家能够通过帮助*氓国家、冷酷的暴君和残忍的独才者获得成功。”

Syrian state TV says the country's air defenses shot down 13 missiles in the Kiswah area south of Damascus fired by the United States and its coalition early Saturday morning local time.

叙利亚国家电视台说，当地时间周六清晨，叙利亚国防军在大马士革南部的奇斯瓦赫地区击落了美国和盟军发射的13枚导弹。

The assault by the United States consisted of more than 100 missiles, the Pentagon indicated, with Secretary of Defense James Mattis describing the number as 'a little over double the number of weapons' that were used in last year's air assault on Syria.

五角大楼表示，此次攻击美国发射了100多枚导弹，国防部长詹姆斯·马蒂斯称，这一数字“略高于去年空袭叙利亚时使用的武器数量的两倍”。

The April 7, 2017 attack on a Syrian airbase after Assad's last confirmed use of chemical weapons consisted of 59 Tomahawk cruise missiles.

2017年4月7日，在阿萨德上一次确认使用化学武器后，美国出动59枚战斧巡航导弹袭击叙利亚空军基地。

The only reason I wanted Trump to win the election is because he promised not to interfere in the Middle East. Liar, coward and a globalist muppet.

之前我希望特朗普赢得大选的唯一原因是，他承诺不介入中东局势。他就是个骗子，懦夫，支持全球主义的傀儡。

Are we not bothering with NATO now then? What are the other 26 countries doing about this? Why is it just three countries have decided to go it alone?

Trump has opened the door to impeachment. He has either been compromised, is on the payroll or is a buffoon. Either way doing this on evidence that would be laughed out of a court of law is something Clinton would approve. Donald Clinton. The worst thing is the Ji hadists know they can fake any old attack and the globalists will react as their air force. Not reported is the Ji hadists have launched a new attack and are killing Christians as I type.

特朗普已经打开了弹劾的大门。他要么是被收买了，要么就是个小丑。这两种方式都是足以让克林顿准许大家笑到逃离法庭的证据。最糟糕的是，圣战徒知道他们可以伪造以往的任何攻击，而全球主义者像他们的空军一样应对。不为人所知的是圣战徒发动了新的袭击，并且在我打字的时候，正在杀害基督徒。

It is funny. They condem syrian government and Russia for death of innocent people and children. Ok. . . But how many people will die even more because of this stupid action of USA and their friends. Who are they going to defend by bombing other country? God save any country from such "help".

有意思。他们居然谴责叙利亚政府和俄罗斯杀害无辜的人民和儿童。好吧。但因为美国及其盟友的愚蠢行为而丧命的会多多少呢？他们通过轰炸其他国家来保卫谁呢？上帝不会拯救任何“帮忙”的国家。

This is all a massive plot. First trying to get public support via the Skripals fiasco, and now this next step towards taking over Syria. And the Russians simply won't have it. There won't be any lights to turn off when the last one leaves

这是一个巨大的阴谋。首先尝试通过斯克里普斯的惨败获得公众的支持，现在紧接着进行下一步，接管叙利亚。而俄罗斯人根本就不想占领叙利亚。所有人都离开的时候，这里绝对已经变成鬼城。

People on here think we are attacking the people of Syria, we are not, just the chemical weapon factories. Russia has three countries to attack which they know, hit one and there's two to follow. Russia also knows that America has better weapons so attacking is futile. American could now also stop vital supplies going to Russia which Russia relies on. We must not allow a Leader of a country kill his own people, we must not let these people do this. Assad must go. God bless us all.

这里的人觉得我们是在袭击叙利亚人民，不是的，我们只是袭击化武工厂。俄罗斯很清楚，他们要面对的是三个国家，一旦跟一个国家动手，另外两国就会跟上。俄罗斯也很清楚美国拥有更好的武器，他们对美国动手是徒劳无用的。美国现在也可以停止向俄罗斯提供重要补给。我们决不能让一个国家的领导人杀害自己的人民，我们不能让这些人这样做。阿萨德必须下台。上帝保佑我们所有人。
