Surely one of the truths must be ... Trump’s fault.

So why do you got to all the trouble to break the rules and circumvent the policy of the owner?

That pretty much sucks. Shame on you.

I do feel somewhat sorry for the pain and suffering these people go through but, they belong to a religion of death. They want to kill everyone who does not believe what they believe so it should not surprise them when someone does the same thing to them for the same reason. Maybe they will all kill themselves then leave us alone.

No I didn’t. I did not post the content material.
Lots of others do this as well for certain sources.

If the site owner wishes to they can delete this post and delete every other post from every other person who posts the same. If they adopt this policy for EVERYONE, which so far they have not, then I will abide by it.

In fact, there are people who just like to complain, not make relevant points. Just the other day I posted another such link to a site whose content cannot be posted and someone complained saying that I was allowed to post a paragraph or so (they were not specific) under “fair use” laws and they complained that I had not done this.

Complain, complain, complain.

Aleppo didn’t fall to Assad, a large number of the Syrian people consider it to have been liberated by their national forces, the Syrian Arab Army and there’s a whole lot of happy people celebrating (per twitter and other sources)

But still some victims under fire, being held as shields by the last radical militia holdouts

It is not “not welcome”

If you try to post something from a site that is not welcome a message comes up saying that “this site is not welcome on FR”. That is a different message than the one that you get if you post something form a site that has copyright issues with its CONTENT being re-printed ... not just at FR but at many sites.

In any case, complain to the management and get them to take down EVERY single one of such posts in which only a link is provided ... made by many people here.

All in not as it appears to be. Remember those ISIS oil trucks going to Turkey.

So why didn’t you just hit the Report Abuse button instead of lecturing others.

Yep, more “fake news” by selective reporting.

What one forgets in this equation, is that many of those “civilians” are families that have spawned these rebels, raised them in their beliefs as children, and are the parents of many of these current warriors. Their younger children that are still with them in this city, will grow up to be the same as the current rebel fighters, waging their own “holy” wars.

Plus these civilians, in general, have supported the City political structure on the side of the rebel terrorists amongst them, prior to it being bombed into oblivion. And these families had many opportunities, and prior cease fires that have taken place, to get the heck out of the City, including going over to the Assad gov’t sectors, distateful as that might have been, where at least they would not have been bombed or been in the fighting area mix anymore. Most chose not to.

I have limited pity for them now. The best thing that can be done is for the gov’t, along with Russia’s help, to clear the area out of its rebel infestation of terrorists of the rebel kind, and then rebuild Aleppo, minus the current fighting trash located within it. Time to trash out. To the few innocents among the Aleppo population, they alone have my pity.

Many times the wisdom just bubbles up and uncontrollably seeks an outlet

Do you call the cops every time someone cuts in line or is speeding on the highway?

How precious.

Yes, exactly. Plus, this is a religious civil war. Sunni vs Shia (plus their myriad sub groups). This has been going on for over 1000 years.

I am sure there are some people in the region who aren’t into this religious feud and just want to live in peace ... but they must know the bloody history of their religious schism and at least and be aware of the danger they are in.

My guess is that you are right. More of them probably participate in the religious dispute and teach their children to carry it forward
