Is Russia breaking the Geneva Convention by using deadly white phosphorus in Syria? Claims that images and footage show incendiary being dropped on civilians
Numerous reports claim that Russia has dropped deadly white phosphorus on civilians in northwest Syria, as its intensive bombing campaign against ISIS continues.
The chemical weapon is banned under the Geneva Convention, because it is highly toxic and can burn through flesh and bone.
White phosphorus, an incendiary also known as WP, is used by armies to illuminate targets during the night or as a smokescreen during the day.
Shocking images posted to Twitter show the sky allegedly filled with the potentially deadly weapon, as it rains down on the de-facto capital of ISIS, Raqqa.

Thought the same here.
Vlad The Impaler: “Sergi, Sergi, get in here and report. What do American FReepers feel about me putting the super hot ZOT on the muzzies?” Sergi: “So far so good Vlady....Opps, Mr. Putin. American FReepers support your ongoing barbecue with ZERO mercy for the goat humpers!!!!” Vlad The Impaler: “Excellent!” (Cue the Simpson’s Mr. Burns pic!)
Really? They expect everyone, particularly Russia, to take the high road against ISIS? WTF?
It is a good incendiary weapon, besides being a marking material,
and a blinding agent.
As pictured, i believe the Russians are aerating structures,
as a means of denying shelter to
the enemy.
Deztroying ISIS in the field,
whether by WP or napalm, will never make me go boohoo.
They would not if it were you or I.
"I NEVER HEARD OF IT!"
ISIS hasn’t signed on to the Geneva Conventions so it’s open season. Napalm would work even better.
And, napalm should be brought back. The object of war is to win.

I’ve said that for several years. .....The oil production facilities and tankers in ISIS-controlled Iraq is the source of hundreds of millions of $$$ that have funded ISIS. Within the last week or so, about a third of the tankers have been taken out with airstrikes, which hampers their income.
The Muslim terrorists in AFG similarly depend on their poppy fields for the opium trade that provide them income. Air drops of napalm to destroy those poppy fields would rob them of their source of income. ...Use the napalm in AFG!
What if they are?
Islamists are not human, in any case.
BTW, it’s a war crime to shoot parachuting bomber pilots.
What would Sir Arthur Harris do?
What would General LeMay do?
