Dan Glazebrook, a freelance political writer who has written for Counterpunch, Z magazine, the Morning Star, the Guardian, the New Statesman, the Independent and Middle East Eye, amongst others:The USG regularly kills innocents wherever they intervene.Those victims specifically, the same as you have, none. We were talking only of motive.Ah Ha, you're a conspiracy guy. The fringe people's grist, along with alternate realities using one or more lies, half-truth, rumors or innuendos to support your beliefs; in this case the innuendo.
What motive do you imagine the US and/or its allies choose to kill civilians in a tiny village in Syria? I admit Trump might do something such as this, since he never seems to think of the consequences of his words, but the risk of so many members of our military to carry out a war crime and keep it secret is so absurd only real crazies believe it.
This is not delusion.
The USG has openly acknowledge their efforts to support the Syrian opposition.
The US Government has made no secret in supporting the victims of Assad and Putin's war crimes. What evidence do you have that the USG decided to kill the victims? That would be stupid, and even Trump (I hope) is not that stupid.
Now do you want to pretend that the USG has qualms about killing innocents to achieve its objectives?
No, there have been cases of unintended consequences in every use of military action; cover ups, denial rarely work (. The difference is, very few are intended by our forces, the same cannot be said for Assad, Putin and other despots throughout history).
I still remember MyLai, for those too young to remember, herein is a link to this graphic example:
William Calley Lives
The USG is Intervening in Syria as we speak.
The Syrian government, regardless what you think of it, is defending itself from the above-mentioned intervention.
These are the facts.
US and Britain are not interested in peace; they want to keep this war ongoing. They want Syria to become the failed state that they’ve turned Iraq and Libya into. They don’t want the restoration of government authority. Yet, it is that restoration of government authority across Syria that is the best chance and the best hope for peace, and that is why they are scared that this peace is about to break out. That is why we’re seeing the British Ambassador shedding crocodile tears at the UN, when the reality is – this is the same British government that killed from one to two million people in these invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan...destroyed Libya, created the migrant crisis…
They will dismiss, or worse – deliberately undermine, or try to scupper - any attempts to alleviate the suffering on the ground. This is in part because they want to see as many civilians die as possible in Russian and Syrian airstrikes; this is a good propaganda for them, because their line is – it is only Russian bombs that kill civilians, only Syrian bombs that kill civilians, and never British bombs or American bombs…
