[/Kim Kardashian has waded into Syria's conflict, calling on fans through Twitter to save the ancient Armenian Christian village of Kassab, whose residents fled as rebels seized control of the hamlet in late March.

I did not know she is Armenian, I'm sure her celebrity status will draw attention to their plight at the hands of the rebels who are attacking them.

I suppose the question is what exactly does she think should be done?
 
The Syrian Army is trying to retake the Christian majority town of Kessab reportedly seized by al-Qaeda-linked forces. The attack made hundreds of ethnic Armenians flee and caused international outcry with Armenia blaming Turkey for supporting extremists.

Warring sides in Syria are facing off over Kessab, an ethnic Armenian hub on the Turkey-Syria border. The town was taken by Jabhat Al-Nusra, forcing hundreds of residents to flee and sparking international outcry.

Kessab – located in Syria’s Latakia province, just miles away from Turkey – fell to rebels sparking a fierce battle in the media as conflicting reports are coming in about the events in the town which is home to over 2,000 ethnic Armenians.

On March 21, extremist groups affiliated with al-Qaeda reportedly crossed into Syria from Turkey and seized the town after clashes with Syrian government troops and local self-defense squads.

The Armenian govt called on the UN to protect Kessab, evoked the Armenian genocide, and accused Turkey of allowing Jihadists cross their border to attack Kessab. Ankara slammed the accusations and condemned the charge as ‘confrontational political propaganda’ .

If one is looking to Kim for geopolitical solutions, one is very very lost.

Indeed. My first reaction when I saw the thread was what could she possibly have to say that was significant.
 

hahaha

Globalresearch.ca (also under the domain name globalresearch.org) may best be described as a left-wing equivalent to WingNutDaily. It is the website of the Montreal-based non-profit The Centre for Research on Globalisation (CRG), founded by Michel Chossudovsky...

While many of Globalresearch.ca's articles discuss legitimate humanitarian or environmental concerns, the site has a strong undercurrent of reality warping and bull**** throughout its pages, especially in relation to taking its news from "Russia Today", along with other unreliable and/or open sources.

Despite presenting itself as a source of scholarly analysis, Globalresearch.ca mostly consists of polemics many of which accept (and use) conspiracy theories, pseudoscience and propaganda.

RT is Russian state propaganda and the story is clearly angled to present Putin in the "defender of Christians" role.

Let's use a little critical thinking when examining state propaganda.
Many Armenians view their country’s relationship with Russia to be a natural outgrowth of an inevitable historical dependence, particularly given the context of the 1915 Armenian genocide and the existential threat posed by that event. They perceive Russia to be the only guarantor of Armenian's security.

Did you learn this from Russian state propaganda or from the wackjob website you cited?

Christian Armenians are eastern orthodox like the Russians.
 
Let me know if the audio is confirmed as unadulterated. Until then, all you've got is a tweet from a random person.
Why do you like to cover up the fact turkey is supporting al Qaeda linked rebels killing Armenian Christians in Syria. I noticed you have been covering up for al Qaeda actions in Syria in other threads as well.

This from someone who gets their "facts" from RT and Twitter.

That you occasionally use mainstream sources does not change the fact that this thread is based on RT and a Tweet from a random person. What makes you think Israeli sources are my favorite?
 
Seriously, why does anyone give a damn what a moron like Kim Kardashian says about anything?

Go through my posting history of the threads I started since I joined this forum, and you will see the vast majority of my sources are from mainstream sources.

I see you having nothing worth saying, so now you are just posting out of your rear end.

Come on now, don't get all angry just because someone called you out on using BS sources and making claims that are not supported by your mainstream citation.

So, you accept state propaganda and random tweets as facts. So, you misrepresent the mainstream articles you present. No one is perfect.
