Please stop this nonsense. They are targeting Rebels. Rebels are sympathetic to Isis.
The whole reason Syria is a thing is because Saudi Arabia wants that second pipeline to Europe that will go through Syria. As long as Assad is in power Russia will get it over the Saudis.... So we are there fighting the Saudis war for them.
Assad should stay in power. If Russia gets that second pipeline to Europe it will crush the Saudi economy in the coming decade.
Who here wants to fight that war for the Saudis? Or should we just let te principle parties sort it out?
100,000 children in Aleppo being bombed by syria and russia.
>>The LCC also recorded the killing of 93 civilians in Idlib, 52 in Homs, 51 in Damascus, 38 in Deir Ezzor, and 34 in Hama, with the majority being killed in air raids and fighting involving forces loyal to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, backed by Russian and Iranian forces.
Residential areas, mosques and markets are being increasingly hit, said Zouhir al-Shimale, a local journalist and resident of Aleppo.
"Apart from the daily targeting of Aleppo’s neighbourhoods with cluster bombs in an unprecedented way, tens of activists and civilians have been killed and injured in recent days," Shimale told Al Jazeera.<<
more than 500 killed in Aleppo in the last week >>Most of the deaths occurred in Russian and Syrian aerial bombardment<<
Nearly 470,000 syrians have been killed
A Staggering New Death Toll for Syria's War -- 470,000
Tens of thousands have died, mostly due to torture in syrian jails in the last few years.
100,000 deaths from syrian use of chemical weapons
Half the population are now refugees or displaced.
A list of the dead by name is being compiled in a book. Names are also being posted on twitter, where, when, how. Book has more than 100,000 names so far and twitter is up to the high 700s so far in the last day. I've seen too many pictures of the dead. Thankfully I don't have to witness this war in person or identify hundreds of dead at a time.
lists of the dead from chemical attacks and the number of chemical attacks brought to washington
all this because of peaceful protest five years ago and syrian tanks ordered to kill them.
and you really believe syria and russia are targeting rebels?????
Newsflash. When there is a war there is always civilian casualties because the enemy hides amount them.
Maybe they civilians can point the rebels out and save themselves.

I'm well aware of what happens in wars, especially civil war. Seven years working in Lebanon during the war. They didn't have airplanes, barrel bombs or chemical weapons. Army was only illegally used by Aoun for a short time and that was due to syrian occupation.
I've know the Assad regime and how they operate since the mid 60's. Known the family since the children was young.
There have been some 100 opposition groups not even counting ISIS and their factions, 80 of them syrian, during the course of this war.
Al nusra was around 20,000 and the FSA maybe 35,000 +/-. ISIS numbers in Syria have varied from 5,000 to 50,000.
A few thousand "opposition" forces in Aleppo flowing in and out and Syrian and Russia forces bombing civilian housing, markets, hospitals and mosques. Food and aid could not get in, truces broken by syria again and again.
How do you still believe this is about targeting rebels?
