Russians in Syria 'act like Nazis in Guernica'

Former international development secretary Andrew Mitchell has condemned Russia for its part in the siege of Aleppo.

Tuesday 11 October 2016

Russia is behaving in Syria as the Nazis did during the bombing of Guernica in Spain in 1937, according to Tory MP Andrew Mitchell.

Mr Mitchell accused Moscow of "shredding the international rules-based system of law", ahead of an urgent Commons debate on the humanitarian situation in Aleppo.

The former international development secretary compared the Kremlin's role in the conflict to that of the Nazis during the Spanish Civil War over Russia's part in the siege of the eastern city of Aleppo, and more widely across Syria.

This kind of characterization is frequently a precursor to war.

If Obama would keep his nose out of Syria, there would be less dead people there.

This whole “Cyberwar” BS is pissing me off too.
After one week and Clinton’s failure in the debates, there will be a huge “counter attack” that will “shut the American internet down.”
After two weeks, Obama will declare martial law and cancel the elections - after which we will be in a state of perpetual war.

“If Obama would keep his nose out of Syria, there would be less dead people there.”

Exactly. That begs the question “why are we in Syria”?

“why are we in Syria”?

To support Obama’s failed attempt to install the Muslim Brotherhood in yet another country. Arab Spring, YEAH!

Wait .... I thought that “if we elect obama, the world would love us.” Well that’s what the clueless liberals were saying before that POS got in office.

The Russians are the only ones that have really gone after ISIS. obama and hillary did nothing more than put on a show.

We have no justifiable reason for being involved over there.

Hundreds of thousands of Christians were slaughtered because of obama and hillary. There are very few Christians in Aleppo so now they want to get serious?

I don’t trust obama, hillary, or the CIA. We’ve got no business over there.

If these warmongers get their way they deserve a Nuremburg-type trial, when it's over.

The Battle of Guernica was a masterpiece...and I am not talking about the painting. (Stolen line from another FReeper whose name I have forgotten).

A lot of parallels between Syria and the Spanish Civil War.

The Republicans were no saints neither.

I agree- we are on the verge of some sort of Gulf of Tonkin Incident. Or maybe with Obama involved it would be the Golf of Tonkin....

Out past meddling in Syria is the main reason Aleppo needs to be “saved.”

Now that Obama has flown billions of our money to Iran we are effectively financing both sides in this war. Insane.

Because Saudi Arabia says so.
