Coalition forces bomb Syria pretty much every day.

Not sure why that particular bombing was such a newsworthy event.

If you could fix anything via bomb Syria and Iraq would be Utopias by now.

None of the real journalists ever believed the story in the first place.

It seems to me that the more the media storyline is being challenged by the viewers, the more hysterical the media presenters become.

Britain is now laying charges against the Russia Today (RT) news channel.

You won’t be hearing any of this in the western news media because the U.S./UK definitely want to keep the lid on this report. Compiled by Chinese intelligence analysts and explained below by Evgeniy Satanovskiy, one of Russia’s leading Middle East experts, it throws a new light on the situation in Syria and, indirectly, the Skripals poisoning too.

According to the Chinese analysts hundreds of U.S. Special Forces and advisors were killed or wounded in East Ghouta during the recent Syrian Arab Army assault. On March 17 alone Chinese analysts estimate that as many as 200 U.S. Special Forces personnel were “eliminated”.

The U.S. Special Forces and advisors had been working with the militants in an effort to oust President Assad and counter growing Iranian influence in the region. The loss of so many of their U.S. “advisors” is thought to have adversely affected the militant’s morale.

In addition 200 British Special Air Service members and military advisors were trapped in the militant’s enclave as the Syrian Arab Army, supported by Russian Special Forces and air power, closed in.

In an effort to avoid capture, many reportedly tried to slip through Syrian Arab Army lines dressed as Muslim women in veils and traditional Paranja.

The U.S. has admitted to having 2000 troops on the ground in Syria and at least 5000 military contractors.
When you look at the sophistication of the tunnels which were built, the U.S. must of been supplying the engineers.
Most Jihadists have no formal education. That is why it is so difficult for America to successfully train the Afghan military as an example.

So now you are equating regular Afghan citizens with jihadists with not a shred of proof that they have been radicalized by the ISIS morons. You really need to think before you post such utter nonsense.
*******

"Like so many times before, the absolution we seek for our abdication from the duties of human solidarity in the teeth of Arab tyranny comes from that most notorious purveyor of reliably unreliable pseudo-journalism, Robert Fisk, whose most recent version gets you off the hook by means of what purports to be evidence that there was no mass murder by poison gas in Douma on April 7 after all. It was just dust. People were choking on dust. There had been a “dust storm.”

The people of Douma were happy to see him, Fisk reports, and they are happy now that the Islamist rebels have finally surrendered and left. People are “mostly smiling.” The bit about the dust storm comes from a doctor by the name of Assim Rahaibani. Never mind that Dr. Rahaibani admitted that on the night of April 7, he was nowhere near the hospital where scores of people were rushed, foaming at the mouth, with pinpoint pupils, exhibiting what the World Health Organization says were classic symptoms of asphyxia by poison gas.

Never mind that reporters with The Associated Press, CBS News, Sweden’s TV4 and other reputable news organizations were escorted into Douma by regime officials at the same time as Fisk, and they had no difficulty finding people who were capable of describing consistently and in great detail what happened on April 7: the regime helicopters, the barrel-like canisters they dropped, the stench of gas, the choking, dying people. Never mind that the Union of Medical Care and Relief Organizations (UOSSM), the largest medical aid agency in Syria, reports that the medics who attended to the April 7 victims are being intimidated by Assad’s police and warned not to talk about what happened, and they are being told that if they love their children they better keep their mouths shut.

*********

And it isn’t just about Robert Fisk, either. There is a ravenous appetite for his kind of journalism in the “West” these days. It offers absolution for the crime of indifference to the Syrian catastrophe. It offers a “narrative” that justifies a kind of righteous uselessness in the face of unfathomable human suffering, and a respite from the certainty that crimes of indifference do not long remain unpunished.
And punishment will come from it, one way or another, one day.

Hi! Mowich

In Syria ..... I said .... "Most Jihadists have no formal education"

I maybe should of explained it this way ..... And this is not unusual, because a majority of U.S. recruits within Afghanistan being trained by the U.S. military to serve within the Afghan military have little or no education as well.

Not surprising because NATO forces have totally destroyed the infrastructure within these middle eastern countries. A complete generation or two have been denied an education because of warfare instigated by NATO members.

[Frank] Ball spent 15 months in Afghanistan, [left in 2006] overseeing a $340 million annual contract [DynCorp International] to recruit and train the country's nearly nonexistent national police force for DynCorp International with the U.S. State Department.
Many of the recruits he was provided -- some under threat of imprisonment if they did not show up -- did not know right from left. Some had never seen their reflection in a mirror.
--Mark Brunswick, A close look: Mission Impossible in Afghanistan? Frank Ball, the former police chief of Brainerd, is pessimistic about the U.S. role in Afghanistan. And Frank Ball should know, November 03, 2009--

"Over 100,000 Afghan police were trained by US Army pilots, infantry officers, and civilian contractors, despite these clear concerns about the competency of the instructors."

"“One US officer watched TV shows like ‘Cops’ and ‘NCIS’ to learn what he should teach. In eastern Afghanistan, we met a US Army helicopter pilot assigned to teach policing,” the report said."

Yeah thank gawd he did too.

But ww3 would have made you happy wouldn't it?



So, BECAUSE YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND the PLAY, HE's a dummie...?
;)
Ummm...Ok...is that your final answer?

Say, they say NK is coming to the bargaining table....imagine that...

( Remember when Obama accused them of hacking Sony, TRIED to start a WAR over it, and then it turned out to be an ex SONY employee? LOL, then later HE was overseeing the ILLEGAL spying on trump before and during the election, AND Hitlary's illegal bathroom SPY server)


What?...oh yes...russians!!!



Because of of the armament factories here in my town, it's is KNOWN to be on EVERY nuclear bombing list.

There are around a hundred and twenty nuclear power plants in North America, all getting old.

Two weeks without power to cool them and there will be no more north america...NO one even needs to drop any bombs. ( just look at fukyoushima.) All they need to do, as we have seen is the past, is to drop a couple of tree branches on some power lines in OHIO.

The armanent industry in your town does not rate an "A" target unless you are making atomic bombs, which you are not. It doesn't rate a "B" target because we are Canada and therefore are not militarily significant. It doesn't rate a "C" target because armoured cars and bullets can be made just about anywhere by anyone and there is nothing special enough to waste a perfectly good nuke on. Now, Cartierville Quebec, Mirabel, Quebec and Downsview, Ontario where they build substantial aircraft ...

Hi! Mowich

I have had further thoughts on the matter ..... Perhaps I should of used the term "It Is Highly Likely" as the Prime Minister of Britain uses to explain the Sergel Skripal poisoning.

And while I'm at it ..... It is "Highly Likely" that Doug Ford is an Economic Terrorist.

What a load of rubbish. That "unfathomable human suffering" undeniably and irrefutably has been and continues to be delivered upon the Arab nations just like it was delivered to Somalia, Sudan, Irag, Lybia and now Syria and over two-hundred other nations by the bottomless apetite of America & allies for conquest by war. Terry Glavin is obviously a piece of shjt. The ravenous blood lust of the Anglo Zionist Empire has no rivals for crimes against humanity anywhere in history.

"Robert Fisk (born 12 July 1946) is an English writer and journalist. He has been Middle East correspondent intermittently since 1976 for various media; since 1989 he has been correspondent for The Independent, primarily based in Beirut.[1] Fisk holds numerous British and international journalism awards, including the Press Awards Foreign Reporter of the Year seven times. He has published a number of books and reported on several wars and armed conflicts.

An Arabic speaker,[2] he was among the few Western journalists to interview Osama bin Laden, which he did on three occasions between 1993 and 1997.[3][4]" -- Wikipedia

Glavin is a shill, and he has not been to Syria, nor does he speak Arabic. He wants us to believe that the West and Israel should annihilate Syria for the good of Syrians.

The comments on this article agree with my opinion 95 per cent. DB

Behind Theresa May’s ‘Humanitarian Hysterics’: The Ideology of Empire and Conquest
By Colin Todhunter
April 19, 2018
https://www.counterpunch.org/2018/0...hysterics-the-ideology-of-empire-and-conquest

In 2009, Syrian President Assad refused to sign a proposed agreement with Qatar that would run a pipeline from the latter’s North field through Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Syria and on to Turkey, with a view to supply European markets in direct competition with Russia.
http://www.thenational.ae/business/energy/qatar-seeks-gas-pipeline-to-turkey

Assad refused to sign and instead pursued negotiations for an alternative $10 billion pipeline plan with Iran crossing Iraq and into Syria that would also potentially allow Iran to supply gas to Europe.

The West agreed that Assad must go.

Syria: Syrian army uncover massive rebel tunnel network in Douma
Footage from Monday showed a massive labyrinth of underground tunnels used by the Jaish al-Islam militant group sprawling under the recently-liberated Douma in Eastern Ghouta.
"The warehouse in Douma is like a city beneath a city… tunnel upon tunnel, even extending to the other [Western] Ghouta,” a local said.
According to one resident of Douma, rebels starved the locals to force them to work on the tunnels’ clearance and reinforcement. “It took about a month or two to move the rubble and reinforce these locations," he said.
"They [the Jaish al-Islam militant group] starved us, besieged us, they traded in our blood. As you see, these tunnels are massive...They had captives work on them, as well as civilians. They wouldn't feed those who wouldn't work," another resident added.
