Again SIG posts propaganda that represents Russia and Assad's point of view. Her post was created by a group known as "Hands off Syria". What they have posted on their facebook page says it all.
The claim people who are eating grass don't want food and medicine because it is coming from the UN is preposterous. Her even suggesting that shows how stupid SIG thinks everyone here is. There are many groups active within the Syrian mess and because there are problems with some of the incoming routes for supplies doesn't mean they don't want the assistance. It just means things are a complete mess. Just take Russia. They agree to a cease fire and then destroy a UN food and medicine convey while continuing to bomb hospitals.
At least SIG quotes a reputable source for the aid conveys post. I will have to see how much she changed the premise of what the actual article says.
Sorry comrade SIG but you need a keeper. Opps I forgot, you have one and his name is Putin.

So, who does Russia back? Russia backs the Syrian government.
Who does the United States back?

"Syria Talks Will End if Aleppo Bombing Continues, U.S. Tells Russia"
Quote:
WASHINGTON — The United States threatened on Wednesday to halt talks with Russia on the war in Syria and scrap plans for joint military targeting of jihadists unless the Russian and Syrian militaries stopped bombing Aleppo.
The threat, conveyed via telephone by Secretary of State John Kerry to his Russian counterpart, Foreign Minister Sergey V. Lavrov, was the sharpest warning the Americans have made to the Russians over Syria since their Sept. 9 collaboration on a cease-fire collapsed last week.
But the Obama administration did not say what steps it would take if diplomatic efforts failed entirely or how it hoped to deter Russian and Syrian forces from their offensive against rebels in Aleppo, the divided northern Syria city that has become a focal point of the war.

I think at this point, the Russians don't care to talk further with the USA. Every engagement that the Obama administration has had with Russia has been subterfuge, so my guess is that unless the USA offers something substantive, the plan is to take Aleppo militarily. In a

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.

The State Department just cut off its 'bilateral channels with Russia' over Syria
The US has formally suspended its bilateral channels with Russia over the continued Russian aerial bombardment of Syria's largest city, Aleppo, State Department spokesman John Kirby confirmed in a statement released Monday.
"This was not a decision that was taken lightly," the statement said.
"The US spared no effort in negotiating and attempting to implement an arrangement with Russia aimed at reducing the violence, providing unhindered humanitarian access, and degrading terrorist organizations operating in Syria.
"Unfortunately, Russia failed to live up to its own commitments," the statement continued. "Including its obligations under international humanitarian law and UNSCR 2254."

Syria war: Girl killed in Aleppo by cluster bomb she thought was a toy
A four-year-old girl has died after picking up a cluster bomb she thought was a toy in the Syrian city of Aleppo.
Eman was going out to collect water in rebel-held eastern Aleppo when she came across the bomb, her family told ITV. She thought it was a silver ball, they said.

Commentary: Putin’s Middle East gamble is paying dividends
By Amir Handjani
Vladimir Putin has made an art of turning weakness into strength. As Russian and Syrian forces pound Aleppo in the biggest assault of Syria’s five-year civil war, the Russian president clearly has emerged as a dominant force in the Middle East. Two years ago Russia had virtually no presence in the region, aside from a naval base in Syria. Today Moscow’s fighter jets and missiles fly over Syrian, Iranian and Iraqi airspace.
Over the last year, Putin has inserted Russia into the Syrian conflict and shored up the regime of President Bashar al-Assad as it was on the verge of collapse. The Russian leader has forged a quasi-military alliance with Iran that has allowed him to project power in the Persian Gulf – something that has evaded Moscow since the end of World War Two.
If that wasn’t enough, Putin’s relationship with Turkey, which seemed to be on a collision course after Ankara downed a Russian fighter jet last year, has now warmed to the point where Putin and Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan are about to restore full diplomatic relations. All the while Putin has maintained a close and productive relationship with Israeli Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu.
How is Putin able to maneuver the shifting sands of the Middle East so effectively and forge ties with countries that are seemingly at odds with each other? Why has Russia been more effective than the United States in furthering Moscow’s own agenda in the region?
Putin is able to quickly identify Russia’s foreign policy interest in a given conflict and commit resources to it – and then abruptly change course once Moscow’s core interest has either been met or has changed.
Since the 1979 Islamic Revolution in Iran, the United States has aligned its interest in the Persian Gulf with Sunni monarchies such as Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Qatar. In turn, these countries have invested heavily in the United States – from buying U.S. debt, to investing in real estate and buying billions of dollars in American military hardware.
Quote:Saudi and Qatari interests were behind the two invasions of Iraq, plus the destruction of Libya and the attempted destruction of Syria. We got nothing out of it except expenses, and more terrorism.
Arab states have also invested heavily in Washington, buying influence in the corridors of power, funding think tanks and hiring public relations firms to help spread a narrative about why their countries are essential to America’s interest in the Middle East. The relationship between Riyadh and Washington remains particularly strong even as the American public questions the logic behind an alliance with a country whose actions often run counter to Washington’s interests.
These countries feel that Washington is obligated to share their view of the Middle East, which means backing them regardless of whether any conflict they engage in is against the interest of the United States.
Quote:Something the USA could try more of. I have repeatedly challenged some of our more jingoistic posters to answer the questions
They have no such influence in Moscow. Even as Moscow backs Shi’ite powerhouse Iran and the Assad regime in Syria, Sunni Arab leaders continue to court Putin and look for ways to collaborate with him. Saudi Arabia, for example is currently trying to coordinate with Moscow on how best to stabilize oil markets and want Putin to pressure Iran to do the same.
Russia’s partnerships are based on cold, hard realism
WHAT ARE AMERICA'S INTERESTS? and
HOW DOES RUSSIA THREATEN THEM?
and have never gotten a response. I think if one were to ask the neocons who infest the State Department, CIA, and various think-tanks in Washington-land, you probably couldn't get a clear answer out of them, either. Th

Is Putin preparing for WW3? Russia begins evacuation of FORTY MILLION PEOPLE in huge drill
The huge four-day “civil defence” drill has set alarm bells ringing in Washington and London, with tensions already high over disagreements in Syria.
Following a breakdown in communication between the USA and Russia, the Kremlin has now organised the huge emergency practice drill - either as a show of force or something more sinister.
