Yep, and SIG suggests no one will have an honest discussion with her about Russia. Well SIG, this and the thread Russia invades Ukraine is where we tried to do just that.

Isn't this kind of like a no fly zone? He's telling Russia and Syria this place is out of bounds for you.
Top US commander warns Russia, Syria
In the most direct public warning to Moscow and Damascus to date, the new US commander of American troops in Iraq and Syria is vowing to defend US special operations forces in northern Syria if regime warplanes and artillery again attack in areas where troops are located.

MSM using pro-al Nusra “media center” as source for war-propaganda
updated 19/08/16
Quote:
At some point over the last few days a little boy and his family allegedly sustained minor cuts and bruises when their apartment building was allegedly bombed by pro-Assad forces. The Western media, which has consistently ignored the thousands of those severely injured and killed in Aleppo by “rebel” bombardment, has now found its conscience and gone crazy.
You must have seen this video, because it’s everywhere right now.
https://twitter.com/AleppoAMC/status/766014854155083776
You’ll find it all over the Guardian, NBC, Independent and most other major corporate news outlets, most using the same AP source. The boy is allegedly five-year-old Omran Daqneesh. According to the AP report neither he nor the rest of his family sustained anything but superficial cuts and bruises.
Yet, in a conflict that has already claimed the lives of more than 100,000 people nationwide, the media wants us to believe this story is somehow unique and that the “horror generated” by a video of some people looking quite well but dusty and bloodstained will shock us more than the piles of corpses , “echo the anguished global response” to images of drowned Aylan Kurdi and galvanise us all into “doing something” – ie supporting a NATO intervention to save the terrorists in eastern Aleppo.
If the sight of all the major outlets who cheer on western-backed slaughter every day, running wall-to-wall op-eds and features about the tragedy of a little boy with a cut on his face, simply because it serves the empire’s agenda, doesn’t convince you of the moral and intellectual blank they’ve become then keep reading. It gets better.
AP and other outlets tell us the vid was “filmed and circulated” by a group called the “Aleppo Media Centre.” Who/what are they?
Well,the Graun links to their Twitter, which is in Arabic, and which boasts over 20,000 alleged followers, including several members of the western media, and a plethora of similar short and often murky vids beside this one. We can also quite easily find their Facebook page, where we also find this:

That’s “al Nusra” as in the US-designated terrorist group. It looks as if the AMC quite approves of them doesn’t it. Even calls them “rebels” not terrorists”, and cheers on the fact they have killed Syrian service men.
We’re also a bit curious about why the AP report claim the video was made Wednesday night, when it was uploaded to Twitter at 13:52 BST Wednesday afternoon, which would equate with 15:52 in Aleppo. Is this a time-zone anomaly? But then there’s the added confusion of the Tweet itself, which seems to say pretty clearly that the vid was made on Sunday evening.

Sunday? Wednesday afternoon? Wednesday night? It would be good to clear that up. Maybe we can ask the photo-journalist and alleged eye witness, “Mahmoud Raslan”, quoted extensively by AP and almost every media outlet.
It’s this Raslan who sets the scene, provides corroboration, gives the background human interest story of handing survivors “from one balcony to another”, and of passing “three lifeless bodies” before finding our poster boy alive. So he must know for sure when it happened. But so far he seems hard to track down.
Some outlets such as the BBC describe him as a “photo journalist for Al Jazeera Mubasher”. He’s also described by the Indy and others as the “photographer behind [the] iconic image” of the little boy in the orange seat. This is slightly odd because the most widely distributed “iconic image” is just a still from the video, as the Guardian itself admits at the top of the article linked to above, and as this screen grab shows:

Is this like the no-fly zone in Iraq and Libya?
Say, how did that work out, for us and for the people of the region?
Once of the amazing things about your boundless ...omg I'm having such a hard time not using the word "stupidity" ... is your apparent complete inability to learn from something that happened not more than a few short years ago, and which we are still suffering from today in terms of the spread of jihadism.
You are the perfect example of someone refusing to learn from history who is doomed to repeat it. Reading your posts is like watching Groundhog Day, but in real life. Except that unlike the Bill Murray character, you never ever seem to figure anything out.
In any case, Syria moved S300 missiles into the region and is equipped to shoot American planes out of the sky.

I think it's time you disabused yourself of that pleasant little fairy tale about our fearless leaders being some sort of surrogate daddy or mommy, laying awake at night thinking about how to protect the kids. HA! In reality, they're thinking about who to sell them to so that they can get a few more shekels in their pockets.

China steps up 'military cooperation' with Assad as top admiral visits Damascus
Quote:
China is to step up personnel training and humanitarian assistance to President Bashar al Assad’s Syrian government, state media reported on Thursday, in a signal of growing concern in Beijing about the course of Syria’s civil war.
Rear Admiral Guan Youfei, who heads China's office for international military cooperation, met Lt. General Fahd Jassem al-Frejj, the Syrian defence minister, in Damascus earlier this week, the Xinhua news agency said.
The Chinese military is “willing to strengthen cooperation with its Syrian counterparts,” the agency quoted the defence ministry as saying.
“They reached consensus on improving personnel training, and the Chinese military offering humanitarian aid to Syria,” the Xinhua report said of the Damascus meeting.

Xinhua said Adm. Guan also met Lt. General Sergei Chvarkov, the Russian general in charge of the reconciliation centre Russia set up earlier this year to monitor a short-lived ceasefire between the government and rebel groups.
The Russian defence ministry was not immediately available for comment. Russia entered the war in Syria on Assad’s side in September 2015.
The Global Times, a paper published by the ruling Communist Party, said advisors are already on the ground in Syria to train regime forces in the use of Chinese-bought weapons including sniper rifles, rocket launchers, and machine guns.

In Syria, ISIL and assorted jihadists are slowly losing ground.
Daraya, which had been besieged by al Nusra (al Qaida in Syria) has been liberated. Terrorists and their families who do not want to make peace with Assad will be evacuated to Idlib. (It's too bad that the women and children didn't get to decide for themselves but will be transported, like so much baggage, into another potentially besieged city. But that's Wahhabism for you!)
Coalition forces are chipping away at the roughly 15% of eastern Aleppo which is still under jihadist control.
Kurdish forces, under USA control, have taken Manbij.
That's not to say the the situation in Syria isn't complex. Turkey has invaded Syria in an effort to blunt the US-controlled Kurds from taking too much territory. The USA, having to decide WHICH "ally" to throw under the bus- Turkey or the Kurds - has decided to throw the Kurds under the bus. For now.
Progress towards peace is being made. The sticking point is still the USA's insistence that "Assad must go". It's hard to believe that the USA still feel entitled to destabilize governments it doesn't like, having created so many clusterfucks already. Hopefully, the USA will decide to end its proxy war in Syria soon, and allow for peace and redevelopment to begin.
