As Aleppo Burns, Spain Resupplies The Russian Navy
HuffPoo ^

After more than two and a half years Russia continues its illegal occupation of Crimea and its war in eastern Ukraine. As part of its unconditional support for Syrian dictator Basher al-Assad, it is indiscriminately bombing civilians in Aleppo—an action described by some as war crimes. And yet, some European countries continue to provide Russia with military support.

Most notable among these is Spain. This member of both NATO and the EU has opened its ports to the Russian Navy. At least 25 Russian Navy vessels have refueled and resupplied at Spanish ports since Moscow invaded and annexed Crimea in March 2014. The most recent visit occurred on Oct. 16, when two Russian corvettes (Zeleny Dol and Serpukhov) and one tug (SB-36) resupplied in Ceuta, Spain.

Huffpo in tears of rage as their Al-Nusra and FSA homies get the retribution they so richly deserve. Raytheon sales department experiencing the same emotions.

hardly a mention of the American soldier being killed the other day in Mosul , during the offensive.

I guess when a republican President in in charge all deaths are to be reported, when a liberal is in charge the deaths hardly get noticed.

Especially since NO US soldiers are supposed to be fighting ... only advising.

Translation: The Kurds, who are on the move, are accusing the Iraqis of piddling around and waiting for them to take Mosul. Unfortunately, the only to get the Iraqis to fight is to drag their sorry butts to the front which exposes the Americans.

So Spain is helping Russia. Could it be that Spain understands who is on the right side here?

Because there are only two sides, the radical Muslim side and the anti-radical Muslim side. Russia has chosen to be on the anti-radical Muslim side.

These boots on the ground are fighting. One of my sons is a Marine and he said it is the worst secret of them advising over there.

I know several Iraqi veterans and they say the most dangerous part of dragging them to the front is that they end up “behind “ you!!!!!

Fun to watch the leftists adopt a right wing Cold War point of view.
