Putin in Syria: Chechnya All Over Again

In 2003, the United Nations called Grozny the most destroyed city on Earth

On 28 September 2016, UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon described Aleppo as being "Worse than a slaughterhouse"





Another 25 civilians (including five children) were killed yesterday by airstrikes on the city of Aleppo in Syria...

Activists say death toll rises in bombings of Syria’s Aleppo




Russian aircraft dropping cluster munitions on Aleppo neighborhoods. This is a war crime...

Russia's state-owned RT inadvertently filmed RBK-500 ZAB 2.5SM incendiary cluster bombs attached to a weapons pylon of a Russian Su-34 ground attack aircraft at Khmeimim air base in Syria.

Putin's War In Syria: Why Russians Don't Seem To Care About It

Who bombs civilians in Syria: profiles of 116 RuAF officers


Moscow denies the war crimes that your own eyes see in the embedded YouTube video's above....

Kremlin Calls Boris Johnson's Syria Claims 'Russophobic Hysteria'
 
Russia warned U.S. government officials that the Tsarnaev brothers from Chechnya were dangerous and that they should be investigated. The U.S. government officials were so determined to thumb their nose at Russian intelligence that it they not only rolled out the red carpet for those terrorists, the also made sure that the entire family could live on welfare at U.S. tax dollars.
 
Russia cured the terrorist problem in Chechnya and is about to do the same thing in Syria. The USA sponsors terrotists in Syrai due to the policy "the enemy of my enemy is my friend." Now the USA keeps promoting the charade that the al Nusra Front a/k/a al Qeda/ISIS/HeadChoppers/terrorists are some kind of good guys. Get your boots Bubby, because it's gettin' deep. Syria, similar to Iraq, had a stable, reasonably successful population and policy before the USA decided to intervene. Now, perhaps we have caused the deaths of 500,000 Syrians and caused millions of refugees. Nearly as successful as Iraq, Libya, etc. Thered isn't any OIL involved in the area, is there?
 
No surprise that you two see nothing wrong with Russia dropping cluster/incendiary bombs on a city with many hundreds of thousands of civilian inhabitants.

Why do you keep conflating the al Nusra Front with al Qaeda and ISIS?

Is it ignorance or dishonesty?

And WE caused caused the deaths of 500,000 Syrians and caused millions of refugees? Now that too is either ignorance or dishonesty.....
 
Everyone who was watching knew by DEC that Putin was running the Chechnya plan again.

It worked once, so why not?

They were given many opportunities to leave.

If they are there now it is by choice.

They knew what was coming.

This is Putin.
 
Here's the bottom line(s):

1. We do not give half a damn about human rights.

2. We do not give half a damn about aggressors.

3. All we give a damn about is our national interests, and that is pretty much the only thing any country has ever given a damn about.




We don't care about Syria. We didn't care about Darfur. We didn't even care about the Holocaust - we only entered the war because Japan bombed us. There are any number of atrocities going on worldwide, and we most certainly do not enter wars just to stop atrocities.

Close. It'd be honesty. al Nusra Front a/k/a Jabhat al Fatah al Sham is the recognized al Qeda in Syria. Even the State dept. acknowledges that, but it cannot be separated from ISIS, ergo it is also ISIS. Al Nusra Front is on the UN list of terrorist organizations in Syria. The USA and its' allies Saudi Arabia and Qatar have been supporting ISIS since Day One. The "enemy of my enemy is my friend." Scumbag bedfellows.

Honesty? No, not even close.

Different organizations. Period. Different. As in not the same. Dissimilar.

And we have supported ISIS? Maybe in your world. But here on earth the US is fighting ISIS.

Maybe you speak of your world...

In Aleppo, a drone video reveals a destruction so complete that it obliterates even a sense of time.

The U.S. wants to overthrow Assad so that ISIS can take over. ISIS, Al-Qaeda, and the U.S. government all have the same goal: the ouster of Assad and putting an end to the religious freedom he brought to Syria.

Ummm, no. Reality disagrees with you.

Reality is just fine. The US has no legal standing in Syria. Russia does.

You can spin it any way you want but Syria does have its government which asked Russia for help.

That same government did not ask the US for help and, therefore, the US is an illegal invading force waging war on Syria.

They were recently kicked out BUT that doesn't answer my question. Assad's military is the primary force opposing ISIS with Russian support. What do you think will happen without Assad opposing ISIS?
 
I have a feeling that Putin's gonna be assassinated soon.
