MOSCOW (Sputnik) – The US-led airstrikes against Syria earlier in the day are most likely the last show of force before an inevitable withdrawal, a spokesman for Moscow platform of the Syrian opposition Mohannad Dlykan told Sputnik.
« Despite the arrogance shown by Western aggression against Syria, the coming days and weeks will prove that this aggression is a sign of the complete withdrawal of the USA from Syria militarily and politically, » Dlykan said.
The spokesman added that the US administration needed this show of force to cover up its intention to leave Syria.
The strikes were launched in response to reports of a chemical attack on the suburb of Damascus, allegedly carried out by the Syrian government. Damascus has rejected allegations of its use of chemical weapons.
