Putin hasn't evolved since his tactics in Chechnya. Who is reporting this? Is it the usual situation of a western journalist sitting in Beirut being fed lines by the jihadists? The US and the UK completely destroyed Mosul and Raqqa on the same level as Grozny less than two years ago. Russia and Syria are unlikely to show any more restraint. The entire war is an utter disaster and the blame lies with those who started it and those who funded and supplied the jihadis. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 I think there was some effort to evacuate Mosul, whereas the refugees in Idlib will no doubt be relieved to know they're being righteously bombed in the spirit of Russian Syrian friendship, with nowhere left to run to. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Israel and Islamic Jihad had a recent conflict with pretty one sided causalities. (34 Palestinians) Up to 1500 dead in the crack down in Iran on dissident. 100s dead in Iraq in cracksdowns on protests. Serious protests in Lebanon with several dead, Hezbollah obviously acting as regime enforcers. On the plus side the ICC is investigating the occupation of the west bank. Perhaps one day other regimes will be dragged to justice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
