Syrians living in rebel-held areas of Homs province have seen a lot of destruction in four years of war, but say the Russian air force unleashed a whole new level of devastation in air strikes on their towns on Wednesday.
Jets flying at higher altitudes than the Syrian air force emitted no noise to alert the people below to raids reported to have killed at least 33 civilians, including children.
"We have been exposed to a wide range of weapons over the last five years, but what happened today was absolutely the most violent and ferocious, and the most comprehensive in the northern Homs countryside," said a doctor in the town of Rastan, speaking from one of the areas targeted by the jets.
"As I speak to you now the mosque minarets are warning of planes in the sky and warning that gatherings of people should disperse," he told Reuters, declining to be named out of fear for his safety.
He said the 11 people killed in the town, some 12 miles north of the city of Homs, included three children and their father who died along with two visitors when their home was hit. "It was as if the house never was," said the doctor, who helped treat casualties from the attack.
He and others on the ground had no way of knowing for sure the jets were Russian when they struck in the morning. But their altitude, the way they manoeuvred, and later reports that Russia had started air strikes, with Rastan among the targets, left them in little doubt.

Can’t they use the bathroom Michelle uses?
Interesting take coming from a long-time Putinista such as yourself, so-called “Navy Patriot”. ISIS is quite possibly a Russian invention, created in order to ‘justify’ their expansion into other countries. That is just the sort of thing the Russians would do. If there were no ISIS, there would be no way to rationalize their moving into Syria, ultimate goal of which is clear: to control the Middle East and its wealth of resources, natural and otherwise. All under the guise of fighting terrorism. Pretty clever of the chess players. They are true masters of the art of deception.
Wth is a “moderate rebel? “
None. If you knew Scripture, you’d know that. It only takes His spoken word to accomplish anything He desires. Just a puff of His breath can destroy it all. This entire creation is His. He can do anything He desires. You should know that. I hope you do. Read the tagline below. That is the starting place.
“Putie is bombing the guys our boy supports...”
How was he able to locate all five of them?
"George, your shills are fabulous, you should raise their pay!
MY take on Putin’s Plan:
Step One—End the Civil War with an Assad Victory.
Step Two—End ISIS (Dash) and take their lands.
Step Three— rebuild Syrian Churches and re-settle lands.
Step Four—have Trump build some resorts on Syrian Coast
War is hell.
...but do not be too obvious or the dopes that believe you and the others will become suspicious.
Just want to say, check is on way!
Russian investigative journalists and bloggers have uncovered an army of internet trolls paid to pour invective on the Kremlins opponents and heap praise on President Putin.

“Chuck Norris thinks I’m a badass.”
You’re a real KGB/FSB Putin butt kisser, aren’t you? Me, I can’t stand or trust either one of those two evil bastards.
“Since none wear uniform how do we know who is or is not a civilian?”
Good point.
Invasion is so yesterday; the game today is to fight by proxy. Basically, an exact replica of our Sunni backed plan throughout MENA, only this time executed by Shia.
But even strategic targets like SA are merely a secondary consideration. The real prize, the one element that will take down the USA, is the loss of the petro-dollar. It's why we didn't touch SA after 9/11 - it is literally our life blood.
No reserve currency, no ability to print our way out of trouble. No reserve currency, no ability to pay for the social programs that are barely keeping a lid on domestic disruption. No reserve currency, the results of 20 years of outsourcing all come home to roost. No reserve currency, the reality of 40 million illegals, and another 40 million tattooed fat freaks unsuitable for military duty, are all revealed.
The Russian people have been through 20+ years of deprivation. The Chinese, 20 generations. The USA? Ha, just picture pajama boy staring at his iphone at a coffee shop while living in his parent's basement. That's the reality of America that the petro-dollar has helped obscure.
The five guys were a cover. The money and equipment were most likely funneled to the ones Putin is likely to bomb, along with the rest of the anti-Assad forces.
He ended his speech by proclaiming “Dweeeeee!”
“Rock the casbah!”
