Russia's president Vladimir Putin has ordered a daily humanitarian pause in fighting in the Esstern Ghouta enclave in Syria.
The rebel-held area has been under intense bombardment by the Syrian government, with Russian backing, for over a week.
It has led to more than 540 deaths, according to monitoring groups.......

Donald Trump at least is around to put some brakes on this madness. May he do so....
Putin....”Humanitarian”. You’re joking right?
Yes very humanitarian, I would say.
He’s giving the Al-Qaeda (the kind of guys that killed several thousand people in the USA on 9/11) and the Islamic State in the “pocket” a five hour break each day.
Background on the situation before this new development.

Can anyone with a straight face and with God as their witness really define who the “good guys” and “bad guys” are in Syria today.
When the end of the world comes like the religious writings say its supposed to happen in this part of the world do you really think God is going to say one nation or group is better than the other?
Isn’t it really about holding all of humanity responsible for its wrongdoing.
Hopefully Putin and Assad’s guys will get in there and get some of those civilians out - the ones al Qaeda is essentially forcing to stay in place as human shields

Eastern Ghouta has been under seige since 2013, that’s the suburbs of Damascus, it shows one how powerful the Russia/Iran/Hezbollah Terrorist/ Syrian Terrorist Regime is. Russia has been there for 3 years, they still fight in the ‘burbs of Damascus.
At least, the Kurd dominated SDF took down the ISIS capital of Raqqa.
Russia and Assad are pretty good at fighting children, gassing or bombing them.
SDF took ISIS down, ISIS has fleed to Regime controlled territory.
Still true.
ISIS was certainly formed in part by Saddam’s henchmen, Assad harbored Assad’s brother. Iraq’s president said Assad worked with Al Qaeda. Bush almost expanded the Iraq liberation into Syria because Assad allowed Jihadists camps where they attacked US and other coalition forces from Syria.
Propaganda by you
That’s no Ghouta
Gas? LOL... yeah, sure he did. A laughable fraud.
It came out of the jihadists imported into by the Saudis and Qataris.
It has their footprint, a Wahabbist Islam from the Gulf, not the secularist thugocracy of Sadaam Hussein in Iraq.
Very true indeed.
