We call ourselves civilized and yet our MSM blasts and propagates false accusations by the terrorists we arm and support such as the Al Nusra affiliated White Helmets, and ignores the people they are actually killing and injuring in order to demonize Russia. A school was deliberately attacked in the government protected West Aleppo killing six children and injuring over a dozen. But these attacks go on everyday. ...they're just not mentioned. The video on the link is very explicit. The cycle never seems to end civilians, including many children, are rushed to hospitals filled with choirs of crying mothers and fathers who are dealing with the ultimate pain of losing a child. Twelve people died and more than 20 others were injured on Thursday, when rebels shelled a humanitarian corridor next to a school in Al-Mashariq district. Why do UNICEF and certain members of the UN Security Council persistently refuse to pay any attention to that? Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Major-General Igor Konashenkov said, after Western politicians rushed to accuse Moscow of an alleged airstrike on a school in Idlib. https://www.rt.com/news/364494-aleppo-school-shelling-rebels/
Another 6 civilians were killed including a 2 year old boy, and 71 wounded in what is believed to be a major offensive by the terrorists in Aleppo to break the blockade of the city. The residential areas of the city have been under heavy fire after Russia stopped its raids on the Al Nusra terrorists because of complaints by the US that they're hitting their men embedded with them. You figure!
Here are more casualties by the American supported terrorists/rebels that you won't find on the MSM: "...According to RT's Murad Gazdiev, militants and jihadists have been trying to seemingly blow their way into the city using whatever armaments they have, the heaviest of them actually rockets, missiles, homemade bombs packed with nails. It has been relentless, blanket bombardment of the city and civilians are paying a terrible price. As of midday local time, three people died in the militant assaults, while some 40 more were injured. An RT crew visited a hospital in the government-controlled area, which treated those injured in the devastating shelling..." "...Over 16,000 people have fallen victim to opposition groups meant to be under US control, Russia's Permanent Mission to the United Nations said in a statement assessing how Russia-US agreements on Syria are being implemented..." There is a very graphic video on the link I provided. I posted it so we can learn of the crimes our government is committing. I find no difference in what we are doing, to that of the German people in WWII. They too paid no attention to what their government was doing until it was too late. They found out the hard way, and I fear we will too. https://www.rt.com/news/364618-syria-aleppo-hospital-video/
I can't remember where it was, somewhere on the internet, a photo of an F-18 painted up with a Russian paint job, red star and all.
Here's the latest from RT: UN Syria envoy appalled by opposition groups firing rockets on civilians in Aleppo United Nations Special Envoy for Syria Staffan de Mistura said he is appalled and shocked by the high number of rockets indiscriminately launched by armed opposition groups that killed scores of civilians in Aleppo over the last 48 hours, a statement released by de Misturas office says. Syrian rebels fire shells with poison gas in Aleppo state media Poison gas was fired at a government-held area of Aleppo on Sunday, causing at least 15 people to choke, Syrian state media said.
Desperately sorry as I am for the civilians, and especially the children - even if they survive all this horror they'll be traumatised literally for life - in Aleppo, I have to say some of the blame must be with the parents, who should have got out when they had the chance.
Fleeing Syria is a hellhole in of itself and the refugee crisis? Yeah. I want to apologize to the rest of the world for the Neo-cons. They came about from the American New Century project, and they've harmed our world ever since. They say peace through strength, they have weakened the US and have caused a proliferation of war.
I don't know why Putin has been holding back the Russian planes from attacking, but I did read that part of the Russian military strategy is to pull back before coming at the enemy with full force. I recall the militia having done it in the Donbass. Poroshenko thought that they had defeated the militia when they suddenly trapped the Ukrainian army in a cauldron. They were ready to take Mariupol and advance to Odessa had Putin not stopped them by closing the border when Poroshenko sued for peace. The Ukrainian defeat by the militia was so overwhelming that the head of their Armed forces not only accused Russia of invading with tanks and thousands of men... but also accused Russia of using nuclear weapons until he realized he was sounding ridiculous. .
And this is from Amnesty International: The human rights NGO Amnesty International has raised the alarm of civilians being killed in Syrias western Aleppo by armed opposition groups. Having called the attacks on government-controlled areas unlawful, the group said that weapons banned by international law had also been used.
I have listened to news on some western radio stations. It is not armed opposition, it is called now - democratic fighters or moderate democratic opposition
Kerry was indignant that Lavrov would say the situation in Aleppo is the same as Mosul, leading Russia's Foreign Ministry's spokeswoman Maria Zakharova to give a more accurate assessment: "The events in Iraqs Mosul resembles a medieval slaughter as the population is being killed by both Islamic State terrorists and the US-led coalition conducting operations in the city". And when US State Department spokesman John Kirby dared to say that Russias humanitarian efforts in Aleppo have been futile, the Russian Minister of Defense lashed back: Weve delivered 100 tons of aid to Aleppo, while Americans havent brought even one breadcrumb But that's the reasoning behind our regime in Washington. To them it matters not what crimes they commit, but only that they can deceive others into believing otherwise. .
