Thought i had seen that picture before.
Anyway itâs CNN. Didnât they have a hand in âincubator girlâ?
That ended up being rather embarrassing for all concerned, although got the idiots worked up for invasion, so a success for those in the background.
Interesting article.
On comment early on was quite interesting as it made me think about some of the arguments on threads on here over the last year or so:
ââŚ:All the time I get people coming up yelling at me about what a butcher Bashar al-Assad is, how he loves gassing children because heâs an evil monster, how heâs killed hundreds of thousands of civilians in his own country out of sheer sadism, and all I can say to them is, you donât know that. You donât know any of those things, youâre just pretending you do because thatâs what everyone else is doingâŚâ
Itâs the last bit of the quote was the bit that resonated and I suspect the result is the cause of much of the angst and grief in the UK these days.

Those barrel bombs thrown from helicopters are real enough.
Maybe- donât recall.
Still happening.
Thatâs the important bit. Itâs the old âtell a lie often enoughâ bullshit, then watch the herd mentality kick in. Itâs worked through the whole of human history and weâre all susceptible No one likes to duped, but admitting it to yourself and then the world is always harder and so you see people backing completely illogical things because itâs safer.
Makes me almost feel sorry for the guardian (so called)journalists. Theyâve knowingly backed a lie. Their illusion of integrity has been shattered. Are the sun hiring?

Yes by saying Russians didnât enter the UK and when the Russians admit they were cathedral spotting these people wonât admit theyâre wrong they simply revise their fantasy.
You literally couldnât make it up other than you can and continue to.
So, where is the proof it was down to barrel bombs Barry? The say so of an organisation that has its own agenda (not saying it is bad btw). You are doing exactly what I highlighted - youâre pretending you know because thatâs what everyone is saying.
At the end of the day this seems to be a proxy war - the West v Russia, just one more in a long line of manufactured conflicts. I thought you read into history?
Iâm choosing to believe amnesty international over tin pot agenda driven tin foil websites.
They gloss over Russiaâs invasion in Crimea and encroachment in Georgia, theyâre undeniable facts.
Barrel bombing by the Assad regime has been well documented by all agencies.
Where did i say any such thing?
Russians enter the UK all the time.
Are you making it up?
Canât you see the obvious flaw?
They talk about the pictures as absolute proof, but supply not one.
Tinfoil hattery at itâs finest.
Amnesty.

Crimea? Do you believe that happened?
Georgia? And Russiaâs push for South Ossetia so the Geogians canât apply for membership of NATO.
Any comments?
You find their story credible?
Of course you do.
I did say Iâm choosing to believe amnesty intl over tin foil agenda driven shite.
That position would have been fine until you then ruined it by saying everything else is âtin foil agenda driven shiteâ.
I almost admired you for stating a belief up until then.
Youâve just demonstrated that once youâve made up your mind your mind is closed to any other possibilities. Thatâs quite sad really. Unless of course Iâve misjudged you, then apologies.

An article that claims pictures as itâs evidence, but prints none, is Tinfoil hattery of the highest order.
If you look at the Johnstone article, you get to a section where every paragraph start with âhere isâ and then provides links, for the evidence she claims will back up her argument.
Itâs quite a convincing technique. Maybe someone should suggest it to Amnesty 
My view on Russiaâs involvement to destabilise Syria even further and their invasion of Crimea and stoke up tensions in Georgia wonât change as its fact.
Fair enough, but do you also not agree that the west is also extremely complicit in stoking the conflict in Syria for example?
Do you not believe that the UK is supporting Saudi Arabia in atrocities being perpetrated in Yemen?
Pot. Kettle. Black.
By selling arms? We sell arms to everyone, we shouldât be selling arms but we do, Iâd dare say we sell via a 3rd party to the Yemeniâs.
Russia have are propping up their puppet in Syria, we shouldnât be anywhere near the Middle East, they need to sort it out themselves.
Ummm
Or maybe read this - itâs quite a long read though and doesnât have sensationalist pictures
