I don’t know whether hospitals were hit by airstrikes, or whether, if damaged, it was a result of tank, artillery, or mortar fire. It’s not impossible that Russian airstrikes hit a medical facility, but no purportedly international group like the Red Cross or MSF has made that accusation.

The RFL/RL link you cite is interesting. Do you notice how it refers to claims of “opposition sources in Syria.” Also, to “[t}head of the opposition controlled Free Health Directorate of Aleppo.” And, to “[t]he pro-opposition Shaam News Network and other opposition sources.”

“Opposition” is apparently a euphemism for the terrorist jihadis on whose word we rely but can’t say so directly.

Also, the article refers suspiciously to “field hospitals,” which might be a tent with a first aid kit and a medic in it, not a permanent dedicated facility.

The article also cites the Institute for Study of War, as if it were some objective organization, not a think tank funded by big defense contractors to promote war.

It’s most likely that it is a propaganda drive by the USG to diminish or obscure the impact of the undisputed US bombing of the genuine medical facility in Kunduz.

I take it that you only trust Russian sites, so we have to agree to disagree.

However, as we are alone in discussing in this thread we can perhaps go to more important issues.

First read what Demirov is saying here; that an army division is required in Syria.

That is probably the next logical step, but it will take years. Then read this http://foreignpolicy.com/2015/10/29/syria-putin-russia-assad-obama/

I anticipate that this is what will happen. Then after a few years we have to work together to stop the Islamic fundamentalists.
