Monitor Accuses Russia and Syria of 'Revenge Massacres' After Airstrikes Reportedly Kill 164

By VICE News January 24, 2016 | 3:23 pm

The death toll from a recent wave of attacks by Russian and Syrian warplanes on areas controlled by the Islamic State (IS) has risen to 164 over the past 72 hours, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR). The dead are said to include 43 children and 25 women.

The UK-based monitoring group said the attacks targeted towns across the countryside in the eastern province of Deir al-Zor, and Raqqa, the de facto capital of IS's self-proclaimed caliphate. The SOHR described the bombings as "revenge massacres." Last week, IS reportedly kidnapped an estimated 400 civilians from Syrian government-held areas in Deir al-Zor. Though 270 of the captives were later released, the militants were accused of carrying out beheadings and targeting pro-government fighters and their families.

Well, yeah. What’s wrong with revenge massacres? The USA has carried some out and for some very deserving people, too.

Yup. It is called fighting to win, something the West (esp. the US) has forgotten how to do...

The Russians don’t care, won’t care, and if you ask them why they don’t care they will laugh in your face. They were the same way with the East Germans in 1953, the Hungarians in 1956, the Czechs in 1968, the Afghans in the early 80’s, and would have done the same to the Poles if Gen. Jaruzelski hadn’t taken on the job. It’s ugly and innocents get killed but that is how wars are won, something we used to know at least as late as August of 1945.

Putin’s a scumbag pedophile and Assad is the biggest murderer of the 21st century.

Go back to Latvia or wherever else you are from. Assad murdering the Syrian Muslim Brotherhood is a blessing towards humanity.

As usual, the Russians are hitting children and leaving ISIS alone.

One correction, it is not a fighter, it is a bomber, a Backfire bomber in NATO terms.

If anyone is concerned by this, take a look at 1000 bombers attacking Dresden during WWII and what happened to “non combatants”. Frankly from my point of view, they should be using nukes.

Aren't these the people who enabled the ISIS maniacs living in their midst, and profited from their spoils?

Just sayin'....

There was a NY Times article on how people in these cities welcomed ISIS. Not all for sure but they would not be able to operate there if not for collusion with the population. ISIS is normal Islam allowed to be practiced.

Bush and (Nobel-Peace Prize winner) Obama have a HUGE head start on the murder and mayhem headcount over Putin and Assad in the 21st century.
