Russian warplanes severely damaged a British-funded bakery in northern Syria a few hours before the facility was due to start providing food for 18,000 people.
Hundreds of civilians have been killed by Russian air strikes since the onset of the Kremlin’s intervention on Sept 30. The targets of Russian bombs have included mosques, field hospitals and schools – all of which should enjoy protection under international humanitarian law.
The raid on the rebel-held village of Hazano in Idlib province was the latest occasion when a British-funded humanitarian facility was hit. Eight people were killed – including three children – during this air strike on Jan 20.
The attack took place at around 3pm on the day the bakery was due to open. Russian warplanes fired two rockets into a residential apartment just 30ft from the bakery, killing two families inside and injuring over 100 people.
The bakery was so severely damaged that it was prevented from opening. The facility was supposed to help feed over 18,000 civilians in the area, including thousands of refugees who had fled nearby combat zones.

Ahahahaha!
If true - the Russians waited till all the money was spent and then bombed the place opening day.
Putin got exposed as the Pedophile scumbag he is, small coincidence. Ho Ho.
And let’s see, Russia with one of the 10 worse economies in the world, stuck in the crapper while UK excels.
Cept for the billionaire oligarchs.
Bead counter - as in Muslim prayer beads?
The Russian targeting lists conform to all the places that Jihadists like to hide with their weapons.
At least Putin doesn’t loaf around when it comes to Syria.
Bakery what bakery???
The confused jihadis are like confused “But hiding in a mosque stopped the Americans”.
“The targets of Russian bombs have included mosques, field hospitals and schools – all of which should enjoy protection under international humanitarian law. “
And all of which are used by the terrorists as safe places to store munitions and set up barracks. The terrorists don’t give a tinker’s damn about international law.
Rules of war don’t apply to terrorists or allies of terrorists.
Good.
Putin got exposed as the Pedophile scumbag he is,...Prove that to him.
This is how wars are won. Read history. Food and Bread and milk for the people can be had instantly by ISIS surrendering. THEY are the bullies. They started it. Only one thing wins a war: someone winning. Let it not be Muslims. I’d rather everyone there starve to death than see one U.S. soldier get a paper cut.
Wait until the Russians show these fools their ground game.

Exactly. Why were our troops bound by the Geneva Convention when they were fighting TERRORISTS who had never even heard of it. If I were the CIC, I would order that all non-uniformed fighters caught on the battlefield were to be charged with terrorism, tried by a military tribunal, and executed by hanging within 60 days of capture.
Did they destroy the Football Cards for the Superbowl like when the bakery in my neighborhood burned down?
I hope not.

I proposed RICO like standings for members of terrorist groups. If you are proven to be a member of ISIS or al-Qaeda, etc then you are automatically guilty of 1st degree murder and would be executed at earliest convenience. No need for Gitmo housing of any kind.
