Great job, great family, not lying (you wish) or dishonest or stupid or trolling.



And yet, your obvious lying, trolling and stupidity are there for all to see. Like your little lie pretending that ;the; definition of 'during' can only mean throughout, continuously.

Which is why you're so funny. You're like a really not very bright kid, saying 'is TOOOO!' when all the grownups can see 'is not'. And the more you pretend to be right in your pompous yet impotent little way, stamping your little feet, the funnier you are.

So please, keep it up.

Syrian regime accused again of using Chlorine barrel bombs, by Israel this time: http://www.reuters.com/article/us-mideast-crisis-syria-israel-idUSKCN0
W356M


Quote:

A fact-finding mission of the global chemical weapons watchdog (OPCW) concluded in 2014 that the use of chlorine gas has been "systematic" in the Syrian civil war, even after the country surrendered its stockpile of toxic weapons.

Both sides have denied using chlorine "barrel" bombs, which the OPCW said are dropped out of helicopters. The Syrian air force is the only party in the conflict known to have helicopters.


Hmm, well this doesn't take a genius...

1) It started out biased, like "Russian Invasion of Ukraine". If there was a thread about "WAR CRIMES IN SYRIA" - of which there are a-plenty - that would be more informative. But KPO - being the anti-Russian troll that he is - zeros right in on every presumed Russian infraction, and ignores proven ones like the ones ISIL is committing right now.

2) Just like the "Russian Invasion of Ukraine" thread KPO (and the two other stooges) takes every oppty to air that particular bee in his bonnet.

3) The thread gets its lifespan by attention. I refuse to pay attention to it from now. All of the time that I might have spent arguing minor points, I spent more productively recovering from surgery and managing my health better, going to a newly-discovered CA-native nursery, starting and re-potting plants, helping build a new computer, trying out new recipes, cleaning up, and being present for my family. What's the point of engaging fully-biased people who even REFUSE to look at a website because it might dirty their ideological skirt hems? After this, I'll refill the hummingbird feeders.

4) Just as an aside of how ridiculous G, KPO, and THUGR are: "G" - the top headlines that I posted were a SNAPSHOT- a 10-minute or less moment in time from various websites. Yes, some websites have "scrolling headlines", but for those which don't, I posted THE top headline at the moment, and for those which do they fortunately had a "Breaking news" headline which I chose. The point still stands: If you look at various websites- whether over a 10-minute or 24-hour or 1-week period, they present very different viewpoints, "updates" or not. Comparing ALL of the headlines across ALL of the websites at any one time, I'm fortunate if they overlap by 7%. Arguing over whether "updates" changes that fact ( it doesn't) is pointless - as are you.

5) I've found a much better discussion board- one that isn't filled by ideological trolls, like you three.

Good for Signy that she got out when she did. How would she have been able to defend THIS?

U.N. RIGHTS CHIEF: 'THOUSANDS' MAY HAVE STARVED IN BESIEGED AREAS OF SYRIA - http://europe.newsweek.com/un-rights-chief-thousands-may-have-starved-
besieged-areas-syria-431311


I repeat: this is happening in the 21st century, to innocent men, women and children.

But which groups are responsible for the sieges? Perhaps, as Signy suggests, the rebels are just as guilty as the Syrian government? Well, a new website, siegewatch.org, has been set up to monitor the sieges in Syria, and this is what they say:

Quote:

At the present time, according to Siege Watch, there are forty-six sieges operating in Syria, forty-three of them (93.5%) imposed by the Assad regime, two (4.5%) imposed by Jaysh al-Fatah, an insurgent coalition that includes Jabhat an-Nusra (al-Qaeda in Syria), and one (2%) by the Islamic State (IS).

Siege Watch also documents the severity of the sieges in three categories. Category one (C1) is the most severe: very little gets in even by smuggling and international aid deliveries are rare if at all; the risk of malnutrition is high. Category two (C2) sieges are porous enough for the black market and/or locals might have some access to locally-grown produce, but prices for basics are extremely high and residents are at “some risk of malnutrition/dehydration”. Category three (C3) sieges require smuggling to get food, but there is a consistent supply, even if home-grown. While risk of malnutrition is low in C3 zones, medical emergencies are likely because of attacks by besieging forces.

All six C1 sieges are imposed by the regime. Thirty category C2 sieges are operating: twenty-nine by the regime and one by IS. The regime is also operating eight C3 sieges and Jaysh al-Fatah is operating two C3 sieges


https://kyleorton1991.wordpress.com/2016/03/02/the-sieges-of-syria/

So the Syrian regime is responsible for the vast majority of sieges, and ALL of the most severe (C1) ones. Their sieges are even worse than the 1 imposed by ISIS (C2) and much worse than the 2 imposed by Al Nusra (C3).

So the Assad regime, and Russia are worse than the terrorists. If there's one key truth to learn about the Syrian conflict, that's it.

From what I hear the regime is starting to grudgingly allow aid to the desperate besieged areas, although far less than what is needed - http://www.npr.org/2016/03/04/469149282/food-aid-welcomed-in-besieged-

And the Syrian people in rebel areas, free from Assad's barrel bombs, gas attacks and Russia's terror bombing for the first time in years, take to the streets to protest and call for freedom and the downfall of the Assad regime. 104 protests across Syria today:







Remember, according to Sig and her friends at Zerohedge, those protesters in Aleppo (last vid) are 'ISIS collaborators' who deserve to be carpet-bombed by Russia. We should cheer on Russia as it bombs them.

As far as I can tell Russia is seeking a POLITICAL solution in Syria. That's why those terrible dastardly Russians negotiated a cease-fire, when they were militarily gaining ground ... and rather rapidly at that. According to various military strategists, once the Four + one had taken control of the northeast, which is rough terrain and easily defended, they could have rolled pretty quickly thru the desert and taken Raqqa and freed Deir el Zor without much trouble.

The only thing I would look at rather closely is whether the various interest groups agree to a unified, secular, democratic Syria. If not, then they're just Sunni extremists looking to establish some sort of Sunni theocracy. If the demonstrators are trying to achieve a democratic, unified, secular Syria, I'm all for them. Right now, I don't know WHAT they're for, other than to "defeat Assad". Are they for a future of Syria that will protect everyone's rights? Or are they just another group of "freedom loving" protesters with embedded theocrats? Do you know what their goals are?

I know that you celebrate anyone who is anti-Russian ... it doesn't seem to matter whether they're corrupt oligarchs, Nazis, ISIL, sectarian Sunni extremists trying to create a Greater Sunnistan .... you don't tend to look too closely, as long as they're waving a flag and shouting.

Are you too stupid SIG to realize they are calling for the destruction of Assad? Really, are you that stupid?

AND THEN WHAT?

Do you have any idea? (no)

Do you care? (no)

Or are you so reflexively anti-Russian that you really don't care what happens to Syria, as long as "your side" (whatever that is) "wins"? (yes)

I can't believe the circle-jerk this thread has devolved into.
