Syria: US-Backed NGOs Spread Myths About Civilian Deaths in Russian Strikes

Embarrassingly, some Western media are parroting unverified narratives regarding Russian warplanes "intentionally" attacking medical facilities in Syria, Bangkok-based geopolitical researcher Tony Cartalucci underscores, adding that the allegations have no credible evidence underpinning them.

Some Western media outlets have no scruples about citing unverified information regarding Russia's military operation in Syria spread by US-backed NGOs such as the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights or the Syrian-American Medical Society (SAMS), Bangkok-based geopolitical researcher Tony Cartalucci stresses.

Cartalucci narrated that on October 21, AFP media broke the news about an alleged Russian strike against a "field hospital" in northwestern Syria that resulted in the death of 13 people including medical staff. The media outlet cited the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.

"Of course the so-called Syrian Observatory for Human Rights is actually a single individual named Rami Abdel Rahman, who is admittedly sympathetic to those seeking the division and destruction of Syria. Rami Abdel Rahman is also based in the UK, so is not actually 'observing' anything in Syria. He himself has been observed coordinating his activities with the Foreign and Commonwealth Office in London," Cartalucci revealed in his article for New Eastern Outlook.

The geopolitical researcher noted that the "field hospital" was allegedly run by the Syrian-American Medical Society (SAMS). The latter is a "multi-million dollar US-based NGO, provided with full support by the US State Department."

"Upon SAMS' website is even a video by US Ambassador to the UN Samantha Powers, hailing SAMS as one of her 'personal heroes'," Cartalucci noted.

According to Cartalucci, SAMS is in fact aiding terrorist organizations in Syria, which are seeking to balkanize the country, under the smokescreen of its alleged medical work.

Putin is a KGB thug, but unfortunately I find him more believable than Obama and Kerry.

Amazing how the Assad government is but a puppet of Russia. It is there not in support of Syrian but in total collaboration with foreigners propping it, just like Hillary or Obama themselves. Putin is obviously pulling all the strings in both Washington and Damas, all banana republics.
