Dozens of Russians Are Believed Killed in U.S.-Backed Syria Attack

First topic message reminder :

MOSCOW — Four Russian nationals, and perhaps dozens more, were killed in fighting between pro-government forces in eastern Syria and members of the United States-led coalition fighting the Islamic State, according to Russian and Syrian officials.

A Syrian military officer said that about 100 Syrian soldiers had been killed in the fighting on Feb. 7 and 8, but news about Russian casualties has dribbled out only slowly, through Russian news organizations and social media.

Much about the attack and the associated casualties has been obscured in the fog of war. For reasons that remain unclear, Syrian government troops and some Russian nationals appear to have attacked a coalition position, near Al Tabiyeh, Syria.

The attack occurred in the vicinity of Deir al-Zour, a strategic, oil-rich territory that is coveted by the Syrians. Most of the fatalities were attributed to an American airstrike on enemy columns that was called in by American-backed Kurdish soldiers who believed they were under attack.

At no point, an American military spokesman said, was there any chance of direct conflict between United States and Russian forces.

So Russian mercenaries are attacking US and Kurdish forces in Syria, who are fighting against Syrian forces, ISIS amd our NATO allies the Turks.

What could go wrong here?

Well its gets so bad that, some cockney twat, is placing himself alongside holocaust apologists.

Claiming that Assad has never committed war crimes. When the evidence is overwhelming that he has.

He claims no crimes against the kurds by Assad

Really?

And two retards again licking each others arses because they are that dumb they cannot debate



I mean, the Uk went into Syria to defend against the crimes Committed by ISIS and Assad.

Are you saying we should not defend against either?

If so, you clearly are an apologist for Assad and ISIS, just like that traitor Corbyn

So which is it?

Why are you making things up didge...!?


UK parliament only voted in favour of limited targeted airstrikes against ISIS in Syria...!

Is that why they use the concept as a reason to get involved in Syria?

So what the fuck are you talking about Dummy?

I mean its bad enough that there is holocasut deniers, you though want to defend a mass murderer in Assad

Where people are trying to bring him to justice

Syrian governemnt forces have used repeatedly chemical weapons

There is countless evidence to prove Assad has used chemical weapons against his own people

So again you are defending war criminals and are an apologist of genocide by them

Here watch Christopher Hitchins destroy Galloway, using your dumb arguments

Yes. He's struggling to come up with war crimes committed by Assad against the Kurds.

That's right. They didn't vote for airstrikes against Assad.

Are you really that ignorant,  Tommy...

Assad has been slaughtering both his own Syrian citizens, as well as those Kurds, for some years now.. Assad was gassing his own people, more than two years ago.

Well before any foreign forces began intervening in their civil war..

Why do you and Ragg's defend the war criminal Assad's regime ???

I have even posted a link showing the crimes commited by Assad against the Kurds

They are just both desperate and clearly support a mass murderer.

There is no need rto say anymore here, they have both shot themselves in the foot

Still waiting for these war crimes by Assad against Kurds.

ISIS/Islamist Syrian rebels are the ones responsible for the cluster fuck in Syria... which was relatively peaceful and stable and functioning well both socially and economically before they started kicking off over there...


They also obtained/manufactured/used chemical weapons there... as well as inflicting huge levels of brutal and barbaric atrocities against the people there...


Didge seems to have forgotten about all this...
