The interesting stuff begins at marker point 4:15. This is quite an amazing statement. I don’t think I have ever heard before a senior Russian officer so openly express his disgust and contempt for his US “colleagues”. Listen for yourself:

Super. Up yours, Pentagon wanna be’s.
Why do we expect the US institutions to tell the truth about Russian operations in Syria when the US is de facto in a war with Russia. There is clearly an economic war against Russia. The western media sees itself in an information war with Russia. NATO is working toward detaining and provoking Russia wherever it can.
Lets face it. The US is an enemy of Russia. We should not expect anything but lies, sabotage and aggression from the USA.
“Why do we expect the US institutions to tell the truth about Russian operations in Syria…”
Do we? I don’t think so. It is very dangerous to expect US institutions and the likes they keep as their vassals in Europe or elsewhere to tell the truth about anything. They have created a complete false world for us, false history, false science, a fraudulent monetary system etc., etc. If they’d say good morning to you, don’t believe it.
“Lets face it. The US is an enemy of Russia”.
The US is an enemy of everyone, including even their own so called “allies”, they just don’t know it yet that’s all.
Yes, it’s quite the Outlaw US Empire isn’t it, dreaming of becoming something akin to the fictional Evil Galactic Empire of Star Wars. Varoufakis uses the Minotaur as a metaphor as detailed in Pepe Escobar’s latest, https://www.rt.com/op-edge/332169-europe-diem25-yanis-varoufakis/
I’d thought I’d seen signs that the Outlaw Empire was abandoning its Vision 2020 goal of Full Spectrum Domination, but it seems they were false omens.
What we have here is a confirmation of 2 things we already knew.
One is that people without integrity are in high positions including the Pentagon (where is Seymour Hersch now and his story how the Pentagon is against reckless US policy in Syria).
The second is that the US simply cannot be trusted and must be treated as a threat every second and every minute of the day, all day and every day.
Excellent video. General Igor Konashenkov was truthful, clear and concise.
Take note American Generals.
Washington and its Neocons are such blatant liars and envious of the Russians.
Thank you The Saker for posting video.

How can anyone feel anything but disgust (to put it very mildly) for israeli-american/nato scum and the zio-gay media?
The answer is quite simple: The Western imperialist Left won’t ever approve of such blatant contempt. To make sure they don’t break ranks, they’ll resort to some bold and brave sloganeering. Like so:
Cannot be!
Mustn’t be!
Soros-won’t-approve-of-me!

“Faggotry and Zionism — Highest stage of post-modern Western Leftism.”
And the predominant staple of the right, as well.
It is one big pan of smelly soup you don’t wanna eat.
Faggotry, zionism, effeminate political correctness are the hallmarks of the post-modern West. From left to right. Only fringes on the very far left, and very far right fall outside this categories. Can European and North American societies extricate themselves from this nightmare?
Not without going through the catharsis of defeat and hardship first.

I look forward to the double briefings.
I expect that the briefings directed toward the Pentagon and the Western press will deconstruct the lies told each and every day by the Pentagon and its (private contractor) “advisers.”

Militants’ Defeat in Aleppo Has US Scrambling to Derail Syrian Juggernaut
Read more: http://sputniknews.com/military/20160211/1034590681/aleppo-gamble-analysis.html
“The dramatic success of the Syrian Army’s operation to liberate Aleppo province and to surround the jihadist-held section of the key city of Aleppo has left Washington scrambling to find ways to “delay or derail” the operation “and avoid the impending collapse of US policy in Syria,” writes independent US journalist Mike Whitney.”

Western Media Reveals Old Aleppo Wreckage, Attributes it to Russian Bombs

If I understand this correctly, the US through Colonel Steve Warren has stated as fact that Russia bombed 2 hospitals in Aleppo, and offered no further collateral whatsoever for this claim.
Now Major General Konashenkov here says that no Russian planes were operating over Aleppo during the time frame. However, US planes were, and bombed 9 targets. There could easily be 2 hospitals among the American strikes. Russia, he says, will find out what those targets were, and reveal the information.
So while the Russians are working with elaborate intelligence assets on the ground, including all the Patriotic Opposition (I love how they coined that term by the way), and using their well known civilian protection procedures, the odds are good that the US is flying relatively blind. And now accuses Russia of hitting 2 hospitals.
As Konashenkov says, this may be just to divert attention from their own actions. I look forward to the release of further data on this strike – to say the least. One day a huge smoking gun is going to be found in the hands of the deceivers, something globally undeniable and irrepressible. This would be a good start.
I had my start with 911.
It can’t get much more clear.
Yes exactly! Once I realized what I was repeatedly told about 911 was a in your face blatant lie, I will never again believe anything my government (USA) says.
911 is the litmus test. We live in a mentally diseased culture.

Losing the War, Blame Russia
http://sputniknews.com/columnists/20160209/1034443978/losing-war-blame-russia.html
“Western politicians, media and the Turkish regime are full of it. The latest wave of refugees on the Syrian-Turkish border are, we are told, terrified civilians fleeing Russian air strikes.
No doubt civilians are caught up in this war. But many of those portrayed as refugees fleeing now from the northern city of Aleppo are actually retreating militants, who are capitulating because of Russian and Syrian military success in terminating their insurgency.
As ever distorting reality, the Western news media are transmitting a classic psychological operation in their coverage of the latest stage in what is actually the foreign-backed war of aggression on Syria.”
incidentally the medjlis head of Crimean tatars has continued to state their intention to do a maritime blockade against crimea-if only they had enough means to do so-again another reason to say Turkey is supporting terrorists, and do something about it!!!!!!
Air Force Maj. Gen. James Martin Jr. fainted during a Pentagon briefing.
Maybe he fainted because Russia is winning in Syria?

He fainted because someone presented him with the F-35’s updated bill.
He was not the first person to faint publicly.
Maybe too much radiation in the air…
In any case, I do not know what’s so funny for the lady on the stage and another in public in a person who faints, even if a general of the Pentagon. That’s not normal. Normal is to worry, but not about the man’s weight to fall.
Fainting big man seems a metaphor for the fall of a military empire, and the attitude of her, not a metaphor, but the corroboration of that these people has lost its way since long.
To me it shows the level of incompetence of the staff, only PR syncopants with no understanding of matters discussed, only interested in office politics. Even when confronted with a minor emergency like this, they are out of their league and start giggling nevously.
That is hilarious.
Air Force Maj. Gen. James Martin Jr. is fainting because Russia, Syria, and allies are kicking America’s beloved moderate, pro-democracy terrorists back to Hell.
There are probably many others in the American regime who will need a change of diapers after Syria is finally purged of these Western-backed terrorists.
You can’t get much more frank than this. It is nice to see that the patience of the Russians is finally coming to an end. I only catch brief bit of western MSM and I am so disgusted with the total lies that people are being fed, that I cringe at the thought that most of the population doesn’t even question this rubbish that they ingest.
The Russian strategy is firmly rooted in the UN resolutions on Syria and yet the Western populations still don’t seem to comprehend what is required. I’ve lived outside the USA for over 30 years now and it was a eye opener, for me, as to the brainwashing the public gets from MSM when I first returned after a 1.5 year break (or was it a cleansing?) from it. I could see it for what it was clearly. This is an American specialty, no one is better at it in the world. These are just marketing tools used in the different sphere of selling western geopolitics.
The US strategy seems to be disjointed until one realizes that the goal was the ousting of Assad and nothing more. No longer term view has been looked at as part of a strategy for the region. This is apparent as per Libya; now we have to go back in to try and control it. So Daesh and co. is bombed where it is a problem for US interests (and for continued public support) and it is encouraged where it could lead to the defeat of the Syrian government. Just compare the amount of sorties flown per day between the two air forces. USA maybe around 20, Russian around 70 to over 100. It shows who is serious and who has another agenda. I doubt the US Air Force could turn around bombers at the rate the Russians seem to be able to, over 2 sorties a day per aircraft, (assuming about 50 aircraft) out of a relatively small airfield.
That the USA has realized that it has lost the upper hand was evident in John Kerry’s remarks after the opposition walked out of the talks. Something to the affect that the opposition was going to now be bombed for 3 months. He was really pissed off because they needed a cease fire to save the “moderates”. Gee, just like the Ukraine.
The talk of Ashton Carter about taking Mosul and Raqqa is just chest beating. Looking at the US approach in Iraq and comparing it with the Russian, Syrian, Iranian, and Hezbollah approach in Syria shows major contrasts in the the amount of coordination between the airstrikes and the ground offensives. It is very coordinated in Syria and less so or minimal in Iraq. The US air strikes in Syria don’t seem to be coordinated with anyone except maybe in the cases of the YPG.
When looking at the broader picture it becomes evident that the priority right now is to close off the supply routes, not only the Turkish and Jordanian borders, but internal supply routes between the different jihadi controlled areas. With regards to the Jordan border I don’t think it is as porous as before the November Putin, Jordan PM meeting. Since Jordan doesn’t change tack without US approval ,hmm?. Recently, the head of the Russian military, had meetings in Moscow with the head of the Syrian armed forces, followed the next day by the head of the Jordanian armed forces. A video from a jihadi after the liberation on Sheikh Miskin, near Jordanian, was essentially a tirade about not being able to be resupplied so they had to put out, and the Saudis should “kneel at his feet for enduring for so long”. So all this makes me wonder what’s up. Maybe now Jordan won’t let Saudi Arabia invade Syria through its borders.
An interesting video we may not see at any MSM :
https://youtu.be/O-dw_6DS5E4
If 2 hospitals in Aleppo were in fact actually attacked, odds are it was a deliberate act of falseflag terrorism by the israeli-americans in order to blame the attacks on Russia. The chance that 2 of 9 targets struck by their a-10s were accidental strikes against medical facilities is nil.
Understand, This ENTIRE Syria thing is a lie from the beginning…. They even said it in like 2003 they were going to destroy syria, iraq, libya, iran etc.. The plans been around for decades.
Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov announced on Oct. 2 that his strikes target terrorists who are broadly defined as “if it looks like a terrorist, if it acts like a terrorist, if it walks like a terrorist, if it fights like a terrorist — it’s a terrorist.”
Lavrov in an interview http://www.mk.ru/politics/2016/02/10/sergey-lavrov-rossiya-ne-mozhet-vertetsya-kak-flyuger.html
“Q: Great Russian orientalist, Vitaly Naumkin told me the other
day that he sees three main scenarios of situation development in Syria:
a compromise at the talks in Geneva, the military victory of the
government troops and the big war with the direct participation of
various foreign countries. Do you agree with this assessment? And if so,
which scenario seems most likely?
A: I agree, because it’s all on the surface. If the negotiations do not
succeed, or even if they will not give to start, then probably bet on a
military solution.”

http://www.tasnimnews.com/en/news/2016/02/11/998354/russian-deputy-pm-barred-from-montenegro
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Russian deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin has been barred from entering Montenegro, which is facing strong pressure from the Kremlin for its plans to join NATO.
Montenegro’s foreign ministry said Thursday that Rogozin is among some 50 Russian politicians and businesspeople who are not allowed to travel to the small Balkan country, AP reported.
The support that Russia gave them,allowed Montenegro to survive the Turkish assaults throughout their history (when the Ottomans ruled everywhere else in the region).As in the case of Bulgaria,there are many in Russia probably regretting that today.There is no worse betrayal than a perceived “friend and brother” (that you helped so much) sticking a knife in your back like that.
US Blames Putin When Erdogan Caught Weaponizing Refugees
Read more: http://sputniknews.com/columnists/20160211/1034590138/putin-erdogan-refugees-europe.html
“The Greek financial website euro2day.gr published the shocking record of what transpired at a November meeting between Erdogan, Tusk, and Juncker in Antalya.
In attempting to squeeze more money out of Brussels for his cooperation in halting the refugee flow, the Turkish leader thuggishly threatened that “We can open the doors to Greece and Bulgaria anytime and we can put the refugees on buses”, snarling to the EU leaders and rhetorically taunting them by asking “how will you deal with refugees if you don’t get a deal? Kill the refugees?” €3 billion later, Erdogan shut up but he didn’t shut his borders, and the human wave continues to crash into Europe.
Now that the cat’s out of the bag and there’s a smoking gun to prove what most Europeans had already figured out by now — that the immigrant crisis is a strategically engineered weapon against them — the US has gone into full spin mode by doing what it does best, blaming Russia.
A day before the minutes were leaked, Carnegie Europe published a mudslinging piece which alleges in its title that “Putin Uses The Refugee Crisis To Weaken Merkel”, and a day after the Erdogan bombshell was made public, George Soros followed up with one of his famous speculative attacks (albeit this time non-financial) in which he ludicrously proclaimed that “Putin’s current aim is to foster the EU’s disintegration, and the best way to do so is to flood the EU with Syrian refugees.”
Ironically, but as is the established pattern, every time that the US is caught doing something unsavory, they always reflexively resort to blaming Russia for their own sins, and the immigrant crisis is no different. What’s new this time around, however, are the strange “anti-imperialist” bedfellows that they’ve aligned with in doing so.”
That message may not be getting “through” to the Europeans though. I saw pictures of floats in the Carnivals in Germany a few days ago. And they were attacks on Erdogan. One showed a girl with “Europa” written on her kneeling and kissing Erdogan’s feet. I think many in Europe are realizing (even if not the regimes in power) who is to blame for the refugee crisis.
Clearly Russian officials have lost patience with their “Western partners” in the last couple of years, and the process is ongoing.
With the passage of time, we have been observing more and more Russian officials, from Putin and Lavrov, to Peskov and Zakharova, abandoning the usual politeness and “diplomatic etiquette” with which they have treated US/EU leaders traditionally (regardless of the latter’s immense crimes) and telling it more like it is.
Is this tendency a further step towards escalation? Is it due to heightened confidence of eventual Russian victory? Preparation for further confrontation with the vile NATO-GCC-Israel axis?
We shall see.

a Poem By An American Poet (Robert Frost)

Peace On earth, North, South, East and West
Please stop using caps. Amended on this occasion – next time to trash. Mod TR
This guy is good. I’m sure NATO (really after all the US) sent in those A-10’s to flex their muscle. And a poor display that was. It’s a shame the US hasn’t really won any conflicts since the Korean War (in some books, this war is labeled as the “Forgotten War”; wonder why.) Now the latest being that the Saudis and Turks will send in troops to help out at Aleppo, this is going to be an interesting show.
The Korean War is a frozen conflict, with no peace treaty being signed, so no country can claim to have won. One of North Korea’s demands is that a formal peace treaty be negotiated and signed, but the Outlaw US Empire favors the current status quo, which allows it to station many troops in the South and Japan.
JG
The usa started that war (with their usual cross border terrorist incursions) to conquer North Korea. They failed, and still are failing. Which means for all practical purposes, the usa were defeated, they lost, and the North Koreans are the actual winners of that war, since they managed to repel american aggression and keep their country intact.
O.T but not really….
Gaurdian article by gorge soroass.
don’t know how to link, 79 years soldiering on…
but some highlights…
Putin is a Bigger Threat to Europe’s Existence than Isis
Putin’s aim is to foster the EU’s disintegration, and the best way to do so is to flood Europe with Syrian refugees.
Russian planes have been bombing the civilian population in southern Syria forcing them to flee to Jordan and Lebanon. There are now 20,000 Syrian refugees camped out in the desert awaiting admission to Jordan.
The barrel bombs caused 70,000 civilians to flee to Turkey; the ground offensive could uproot many more.
The families on the move may not stop in Turkey. German chancellor Angela Merkel flew to Ankara this week to make last-minute arrangements with the Turkish government to induce the refugees already in Turkey to prolong their stay there. She offered to airlift 200,000-300,000 Syrian refugees annually directly to Europe on the condition that Turkey will prevent them from going to Greece and will accept them back if they do so. !!!!!
But once Putin saw the opportunity to hasten the EU’s disintegration, he seized it. He has obfuscated his actions by talking of cooperating against a common enemy, Isis. He has followed a similar approach in Ukraine, signing the Minsk agreement but failing to carry out its provisions.
The fact is that Putin’s Russia and the EU are engaged in a race against time: the question is which one will collapse first.
The Putin regime faces bankruptcy in 2017, when a large part of its foreign debt matures, and political turmoil may erupt sooner than that.
The race for survival pits the EU against Putin’s Russia. Isis poses a threat to both, but it should not be overestimated. Attacks mounted by jihadi terrorists, however terrifying, do not compare with the threat emanating from Russia.
The threat emanating from Putin’s Russia will be difficult to counter. Failure to recognise it will make the task even more difficult.
most comments were disparaging and few loved it but one i’d like to quote,
”I glance back in here occasionally and I am ashamed to say this headline just made me laugh out loud. It is like some kind of parody, black comedy, ridiculous skit on the Guardian’s current descent into regressive dissociative disorder. George Soros is the current disembodied voice we are now hearing in our heads telling us to go out and… do what? Isis Putin threat deathmatch gibbering bullshit christ on a bike nonsense, I couldn’t bring myself to do much more than skim a bit of it. Is this really what it has come to?….
Christ on a bike!!!
“The threat emanating from Putin’s Russia will be difficult to counter. Failure to recognise it will make the task even more difficult.”
Haha, good ol’ Soros feels clueless which is quite understandable. His invincible tribe can slaughter and torture captive populations in Palestine forever, but such prodigious heroism won’t be possible in a confrontation with Russia. So, yes, you’ll have a considerable problem here, old scum.
The British Bloviator vassal Corp. is no better:
Syria conflict: Russia submits ceasefire proposal
“Moscow has proposed that the ceasefire start on 1 March, but Washington fears that rebel forces might suffer irreversible losses in northern and southern Syria before then, US officials say.” That’s a problem?
“Russia’s defence ministry said it had carried out almost 1,900 air strikes in Syria over the past week.
But it denied that it had bombed two hospitals in Aleppo on Wednesday, stressing that only US aircraft had flown over the city that day. The US military dismissed the claim, calling it “patently false”.” OK, let’s see the radar maps then.

Thanks eimar, I had seen him also commenting on the Saker´s article on the term “Anglozionist” also published there. So it seems he has moved defintely there, where it seems that is better accepted by both commentators and moderators who do not consider what he says as a “word salad”.
I had my own hard struggle here for him to continue commenting and do not know if that’s what earned me quite a few enemies at different levels here, that or my communist ideas, or both….
Anyway, he is an incorrigible optimist, by what it seems, all happening offers “opportunities for transcendence and lateral strategy”!
I really miss him, here he persisted well and put many good links for us to better understand what he was trying to convey.

Did the US planes just fly in from Turkey, bombed a few targets in Syria and went back?
Did they do this with Russian/Syrian permission?
If not, did the Russians/Syrians confront these intruders? It would be strange if they did not.
Something not quite right with the story- from both sides.
Russia has been playing nice with the US and its coalition, allowing them fly missions into Syria to pretend to be doing something serious to destroy ISIS, and information on flights between USAF and RAF is exchanged to avoid getting too close to each other, as I understand it.
What is astounding is the blatant stupidity of this charge from the Colonel. Unless this is purposeful sabotage of a policy that a faction of the Air Force is getting sick of obeying, and wants to end by purposefully getting caught red handed. Either that or total confidence in the continued, eternal efficacy of “in your face” brazen lies, Probably the latter, though I always hope for a few more miracle from some of my fellow Americans in the armed forces. Here is one I know of: http://www.brasschecktv.com/page/29417.html
Possible explanations. I am sure the real story will come out one day.
one way to explain why china is building stuffs while unitedsnake is destroying is,
china is governed by technocrats, engineers, scientists while the unitedsnake is run by bankers, shyster lawyers.
basically folks who do science/engineering tend to be benign fellows.
mathematics and physics are both beautiful science.
if im not mistaken a theoritical physicist is good at both, so ought to be a swell guy.
which begs the question, why is ash carter, a theoritical physicist, such an ass ?
i heard that in unitedsnake, most science/engineering graduates are sucked up by the mic to work in their myriad frankenstein labs , their work days are dedicated to dream up more and more exotic ways to kill, kill , kill.
no wonder , in the land of the free, nothing is sacred anymore, everything is being corrupted to the core by that cancerous mic monster.
god damn u, usa, murder inc.
Denk,
Carter is not a theoretical physicist.
He just has a primary degree in physics and medieval history.
He’s no genius, there are millions around the world with primary degrees in physics alone.
And theoretical physics in the West hasn’t thrown up any major developments theory-wise for decades: they got stuck on string theory, which is a cul de sac, as it cannot be tested.
In the US, most research grants were given to the ‘stringers’, so delaying developments by decades.
I would say most technological advances in the US are largely down to industrial espionage by the NSA,not home-grown talent.
hmm so i got it wrong about ass carter.
i like math and physics but excel at neither :-(
*I would say most technological advances in the US are largely down to industrial espionage by the NSA,not home-grown talent.*
lol,
so when the unitedsnake accuse russia/china of industrial/defence espionage we can put it down to another case of *robber crying robbery* ?
the case of f35 is particularly amusing.
if its so easy for china to siphon off top secret blueprints from lockheed martin’s data base, i wonder why russia, india, france or israel etc aint doing it too ?
may be tel aviv doesnt bother cuz washington would hand it to them on a plate anyway ?

Beijing: US THAAD missile system may be meant for China
http://www.presstv.ir/Detail/2016/02/12/449931/US-North-South-Korea-China-THAAD
Beijing has called on Washington not to deploy its sophisticated THAAD (Terminal High Altitude Area Defense) missile system to the Korean Peninsula, saying it could also be used to target China.
Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi told Reuters in an interview in Munich on Friday that his country has urged the United States to refrain from the deployment to South Korea.
My take on Colonel Steve Warren’s crude and unsubstantiated statement is that it is a good example of information warfare orchestrated by the neocon Imperialist faction who are controlling, by and large, the MSM. They understand very well that success for their Imperialist project of US world dominance depends on a docile and brainwashed public. This means that they must at all costs keep their narrative going, and especially when setbacks occur such as Syrian advancements towards restoring the sovereignty of their country by retaking Aleppo. So, surprise! Just at this moment they create crudely executed anti-Russian meme that immediately gets picked up and reported world wide. By means of the same directoral control they know that any Russian rebuttal will be scarcely reported, if at all.
Now hard on the heels of the successful negotiations for a ceasefire in Syria, which has to be reported, we have an attempt to regain control of the narrative as the same so-called ‘rebels’ who were yesterday calling for a ceasefire now the chosen voice for pouring scorn on the deal. And so it goes on…
I find it quite an interesting exercise, while following news sources independent of this control such as this one, to keep in touch with how MSM is reporting or supressing the same events.
The General spoke without a script and no teleprompters. That is because one can speak readily and precisely when speaking the truth.
A rather dangerous precedent by ISIS strategy of superpower baiting. They have baited both the US and Russia to the point of where ongoing dangerous encounters and antagonism are growing. How much more so if Saudi and other countries get involved.
Meanwhile, both Americans and Russians are likely destroying decoys while actual ISIS forces have feinted and escaped (tunnel networks) and now seem to be headed for Libya with little opposition. Right before a likely collision course between the internally hostile countries that compose the so called anti ISIS coaliton.
ISIS is not baiting anyone.
It is faithfully serving western imperialism.
ISIS is the bastard spawn of America, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Israel, Jordan, and the United Kingdom.
The people, that is the average civilian of the ‘western’ nations (US, Canada, and Europe primarily), are, as people everywhere a good, honourable, and compassionate people, who, as one would any folk that went about their business with decency and integrity, I would stand behind any day. When I listen to this Russian general speaking, however, my instincts tell me I am hearing a competent and intelligent man speaking to what he has actually seen and had reported to him by competent officers .. there’s no nuanced crafting of words and rhetorical nonsense; he’s just speaking from his gut .. I don’t sense a dissembling of the story as one often senses from those using tele-prompters and managed talking points (as we frequently see) .. I don’t see a forked tongue in this man .. and if that is the case (that this man speaks honestly), then it paints a very different picture to the one we’re used to hearing from the MSM, and it casts a dark shadow on the narrative being delivered by the administrations and many agencies that have supported this action in Syria, most of which are funded by the the tax dollars that are drawn from the people of the ‘western world;’ from their homes and families. It’s troubling to imagine that from the earnings we take back to our homes, that so much can be used toward supporting this carnage and suffering in foreign lands. “We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” – Ephesians 6:12

The transparent explanation of the Russian, backing up each airstrike with pinpointed videos of them, versus the US strikes with no videos showing them only verbally mentioned where and how many, no who or what they are, no transparency. Then his articulate enraged response. About time! How about time for one from, say France, the UN, Hungary or Switzerland? The US is doing a home made drama to make it look to the electorate it is battling the be-headers when the US might have levelled the two hospitals in order to blame it on the Russians, trusting the terrified Western media and passive allies to spin it as Washington orders. US as lost Syria, is also it’s mind. Thanks for this.
