    Maybe he should have gotten some of those US bombs like those the Saudis dropped on Yemeni children. They're so much more humane.

    You probably should take that up with Iran and the al Houthis.

    I have news for you Margot, the British tabloids get their news from the one man Syrian Observatory, which like the White Helmets and Bellingscat, is a propaganda creation of the MI6. He is being paid by the British government. It is as truthful as the 7 non existent hospitals that Russia supposedly bombed, in order to distract from the one in Afghanistan that the US did bomb.

    Margot you keep blaming the victims, for not bowing to the demands of the aggressors. What kind of mentality is that?

    There's no such thing as humane war.

    War is a natural state of inhumanity wherein killing the enemy, breaking their will to fight, and winning are the only things that count.

    The al Houthis are the aggressors since 2008 and then they overthrew the Yemeni government in Sept 2014.

    The report doesn't say what RT claims it says.

    Unedited quote from the report:
    http://undocs.org/S/2018/705

    The forces "losing momentum", according to the UN report, were not American, as RT falsely claims, but Kurdish. By the way, the word "American" in brackets was fraudulently introduced by RT in the quote, it doesn't appear in the UN report.

    The next attempt at mass deception is avoiding certain paragraphs in the UN report to make it look like ISIS is flourishing and developing. From the report:
    RT chose to use instead the phrase containing the term "evolution", as a wink to conspiracy theories about collusion between US and ISIS. In the context, however, the term "evolution" is used with its scientific meaning of "change" - this becomes quite clear for anyone who reads the whole report.

    Another RT piece of disinformation debunked. Don't thank me, I'm a giver.

    Sure, and then Israel used the oil to power its spaceships transporting funds and weapons to the Gbaba attacking Safehold.

    What's your source, Margot? Not a behind a paywall article again, please.

    Israel Once Bought Oil from ISIS and Iran, Now It …

    That means that Israel, which regularly rails about the supposed global jihadi campaign to turn the world into an Islamic caliphate, actually bought oil which subsidized ISIS. Nowadays, with ISIS on the run, its control of Iraqi oil fields is non-existent. So much of the oil Israel continues to buy from the Kurds may actually come from Kurdish wells.

    Forget CNN.. Syrian refugees were pouring out of Syria and into Lebanon, Jordan, Turkey and the Gulf States BEFORE the US got involved in late 2013.

    It all sounds a bit 'fake nooze' to me - and the US shouldn't even be in Syria when its president didn't give permission nor make the request for a US presence. But hey, the US does what it likes these days - legally or illegally?

    They are fleeing from that Al Qaeda and ISIS extremists that your beloved Saud armed and of course the war by the people of Syria trying to eradicate these Salafist Islamist vermin.

    Not Saudi Arabia.. Qatar and Iran..Early on the Saudis wanted to help consolidate the status of the young president, while Assad wanted to coordinate positions and cooperate with Saudi Arabia to counter the dominance of Saddam Hussein's Iraq.

    KSA had always defended the Syrian regime.. Then in 2002 Assad made a big stink about the Saudi Peace Iniative.. before finally agreeing to support it..calling on all Arab countries to break off relations with Israel and support the Palestinian uprising..

    Then, Syria refused to cooperate with the U.S.-led coalition, opened its borders to fighters en route to Iraq, and accused the Gulf States of collaboration with the Americans.

    Then, the breaking point in the two countries' relations was the assassination of Rafiq al-Hariri, the prime minister of Lebanon who was close to the Saudis, on February 14, 2005. That's when the rupture came.

    That is because the US has a reputation for bombing innocent people. Hell, we send C-130 gunships to take out hospitals. Lt. Calley burned My Lai and killed its occupants.

    You are still in wild denial of reality. Where do you think the rebels got all those US made TOW missiles from .. Iran ? Iran was fighting ISIS and Al Qaeda. It was Iran that was supporting the Assad Regime. The US and KSA were supporting the Rebels.

    How does your providing a source which 1) refutes your claim that Saudi Arabia was on the side of Assad and not arming the Rebels and 2) shows that Saudi Arabia was trying to provide arms to the Syrian Rebels

    Refute a source (which is referenced) that says the same thing as your source implies.

    Good grief what a massive fail.
