Syrians Desperate to Escape What U.N. Calls ‘Extermination’ by Government

By ANNE BARNARDFEB. 8, 2016

KILIS, Turkey — Tens of thousands of Syrians who were running for their lives piled up near the border crossing with Turkey here on Monday. They were fleeing a crushing wave of Russian airstrikes and government ground forces advancing toward the frontier in a developing rout of insurgent forces north of Aleppo, Syria’s largest city.

This is in line with my analysis from a few days ago - which means I am following the right Twitter feeds:

This confirms tweets I posted here from a few days ago before the news went mainstream.

I noticed a few days ago for the first time Tweets of Spetz in Syria made public / out in the open. That made me go Hmmmm. I will post a link to my earlier post here.

What I am reading is: Russians plan to have Aleppo fall. Secures rear of forward advance eastward of the Spetz led Assad forces - civilians are told to flee because ISIS land will go through an extermination campaign.

They were apparently mainly fighting al-Qaeda, which had a stronghold in the city of Ratyan. The Russians subjected it to intensive bombing and the SAA and allies ultimately took it

When it comes to these Muslim wars, you can always be certain that the UN is taking the wrong side.

These fleeing thousands were happy to welcome and provide support and safety for the beheaders. Now the Russian bombs are falling on their heads, and they are getting a dose of their own medicine.

Ms Merkel will meet them at the German border with a warm hug and an open wallet.

I suspect that all the sides can be appropriately described as ‘no good’.

Extermination By Government....

Reminds me of Bill Clinon's and Janet Reno's slaughter of 76 innocent people including two pregnant women and over 20 children at Waco.

Good.
Destroy the enemy thoroughly. That is how to finish up a war and make sure victory sticks.

Unlike Obama, the Russians know what “victory” is and how to achieve it.

Good, the Russians are fighting to win; turn the area from Aleppo to the Turkish border into the equivalent of the highway of death from Kuwait to Iraq.
