In late 2016, Syrian government forces had sealed off Aleppo's rebel-held eastern half, with 270,000 people inside, and for months they and Russian warplanes blasted it to rubble. Food was scarce. ..
Hashem and other Aleppo survivors on Tuesday mark the 11th anniversary of Syria’s revolution-turned-civil war. This year, many of them are not just reflecting on their own fates, they are watching in shock as Ukrainians face familiar horrors: bombardment, brutal siege and flight from their homes. In Syria's war, Russia helped President Bashar Assad's government gain the upper hand with a ruthless strategy. One by one, they locked sieges around opposition-held areas, bombarding and starving them until the population’s ability to hold out collapsed. The siege of Aleppo was among the most brutal. Aleppo was Syria’s most populous city, famed for its unique cuisine of elaborate dishes and its millennia-old Old City. When the war began, its eastern districts fought off the government for four years, brimming with revolutionary fervor. But nearly six months of siege reduced much of the east to empty rubble, its population dispersed or dead.
In Ukraine, a similar siege has been underway for nearly two weeks on the port city of Mariupol, where tens of thousands are scrounging for food and shelter under Russian bombardment. The fear is that Russian President Vladimir Putin will expand a Syria-style siege strategy across Ukraine.

Get the tear machine cranked up for islamic crazies of Al Nusra etc. The media have no shame
Probably pretty bad for the Libyan civilians. We killed 500,000, including some of Gadaffi’s kids [guilty for being born into the wrong family, I guess].
Even worse for Iraqi civilians. We killed over a million.
But, yeah, go on.....
“Get the tear machine cranked up for islamic crazies of Al Nusra etc. The media have no shame”
I doubt more than 10% of the people here understand to what you’re referring to.
I’ll make it easy: We sided with ISIS, Russia sided with the religiously-tolerant government.
What is an Aleppo?
It was Arab on Arab crime, mostly.
* Saddam loyalists,
* jihadists,
* Iranian backed shiites.
Aleppo is a historic city in Syria. (Haleb)
I have no sympathy for al nusra or qaeda or any radical Islamists... etc. But it’s hard to imagine all 600,000 dead (in the decade) were all al nusra...
An alliance with Russia to crush islamo crazies where ever they pop up would have been great for the planet. But that runs counter to the real goal of the behind the scenes kooks that desire more islam in the west to chew the remaining legs off western civilisation for them. They think its a tiger they can ride. The CIA would love to stir up muslims in Russia too. Those same islamic crazies will bite their hand off later.
In a world of aholes sometimes its a case of the lesser of 2 aholes. Al Qaeda/Isis or Assad. Who would you pick?

Agree although I do thing the Soros bunch’s REAL GOAL is to dilute Western civilization to the point where Western states are wiped out. And thus, when there is no Western societies anymore, they cannot start any more world wars or build nuclear weapons.
Obviously what replaces Western civilization will basically be a reversion to the animal kingdom, except with humans being one of the animals.
Nothing else makes sense, considering what they’re doing.
I understand what you’re saying.

But I knew that :)
Twisted Soros (whether his pro radical left; vast pro-Palestinian or against vetting immigrants) thinks he is on the “good” side.
Ok.
“Twisted Soros (whether his pro radical left; vast pro-Palestinian or against vetting immigrants) thinks he is on the “good” side.”
Soros engineered this mess to drive out Russia’s government, he knows EXACTLY what he’s doing.
What’s his personal beef with Putin?
I think the beginning of this mess was the terrible way HOW Biden handled Afghanistan exit.
“What’s his personal beef with Putin?”
Soros cannot control him, but has to for the Great Reset. Otherwise Russia’s nukes remain a threat to him.
