"Russia says that chemical gas that killed and injured dozens of civilians in a rebel-held town in northern Syria came from rebel weapons on the ground. But it said the aircraft had struck a depot producing mines filled with a poisonous substance, for use in Iraq." That makes far more sense to me than Assad 'killing his own people' (god how many times have we heard that! ), and I believe it. You can believe what you like. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-39500319
If ever there was a region where all is smoke and mirrors, lies, and realpolitik subterfuge designed to deceive, this has to be it. Only fools will take things at face value.
I don't recall ever supporting Saudi Arabia's actions in Yemen? There is a thread on Yemen here somewhere, I believe millions of Yemenis is on the brink of starvation, Saudi's have been reportedly bombing and killing civilians and yes they should absolutely be held accountable.
I'm convinced that 'barrel bombs' - think IEDs knocked up on the cheap by disparate groups - have been dropped from a helicopter acquired by jihadists. Why would the regime use such rudimentary devices rather than its plentiful arsenal of conventional materiel?
Saudi Arabia has spent 584 million dollars on humanitarian aid for Yemen in the past year. Here's a timeline for chemical weapons attacks in Syria... mostly chlorine gas. http://www.foxnews.com/world/2017/04/04/timeline-chemical-weapons-use-in-syria.html
Wars are nature's way of controlling the global population. Without them we'd be in serious trouble. Hold that thought.
So what? When you start the sh*t, it can happen that the others throw the sh*t around your ears, right?
So what? Sometimes Satan also reports the bad gout, right? If one has a big bank account on this planet thanks to the oil, then it is Saudi Arabia. Ultimately, this humanitarian aid is only a reconstruction, for which they themselves have to take responsibility directly or indirectly. And here in Syria this time it was probably Sarin ...
I shall face the facts? Nice Joke Margot! You know that the Saudis are the main reason that Yemen is since ever the worst place due to their inventions in the interior issues of this country and before in the 2 Yemen states? No, of course not, because if you would face this fact, then you will not defend the Saudi scum further!
whats next for Turkey in Syria? look like you get not much help from Muscovy ... " The Turkish government formed transactional alliances with both Russia and the United States, but failed to pull either party completely to its side in Syria, Yesilada said. Both the US and Russia are steadily deepening their ties with the Syrian Kurdish People's Protection Units (YPG) and its Arab allies who operate under the umbrella of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF). Ankara believes that they are doing so at Turkey's expense, and says the YPG is directly linked to the PKK, an armed group that has been fighting a four-decade bloody conflict in Turkey. "So, Turkey is now in a situation where Russians control the west of the Euphrates River and the US controls the east - and neither party seems to be supportive of Turkey's needs and interests in the region," Yesilada said. "The operation simply reached its natural limits," he said. "Turkey realised that it could not achieve anything more in that area without clashing with the US, Russia or the Syrian regime.""http://www.aljazeera.com/indepth/features/2017/04/analysis-turkey-syria-170403061726771.html
You know that the common reaction now is that Pro Russian side claims it is all a fake news and the named sources are all terrorists ... sorry, since Trump is the term fake replaced with "alternative" ... And the other side is accusing Russia to be evil for supporting such a bastard. And in the end it is agreed that the large chlorine gas tank of the large public swimming pool was hit ... or something similar!
The Saudis moved villages back 20 miles from the border and set up security in 2000. They have NO ambitions in Yemen.
Didn't we have this topic still ... forget this BS fairy tale of Saudis are Samaritans in Yemen. They have their own political sphere of interest and where want to have saying and so on. Yemen has in this behavior simply bad luck!
