Russian bombing: Picture of Sunni boy goes viral

[THE Bigzoman]

Well luckily we don't have a civil war being played out in our country....yet.

I think we have enough social problems, we don't need to import questionable people who come from places where it's okay to stone rape victims to death

A race war.

Please do. I've been sick of some fucks my whole life.

[Bapestar]

You wouldn't stay and fight for your country?

Would you?

[prwraith]

A race war.

Please do. I've been sick of some fucks my whole life.

Oh come off it, a race war would be an utter disaster. We don't need to stone nobody Especially since this alleged race war doesn't even exist outside the media. I'd have to go searching high and low to find someone who had an outright hatred of black people. Nobody I know has any issue across race lines and those that do are probably pretty strictly in the "bible belt" aka the "racism" belt

That was directed at both sides. Two birds with one stone.

Turks in a nutshell:

-We invaded Greece: Be happy we let you exist - genocide
-We fucked up Kurds : Be happy we let you exist - genocide
-We fucked up Armenians - Be happy we let you exist - major full out blown genocide
-We fucked up Bulgarians - Be happy we let you exist - genocide
-We fucked up Assyrians - genocide
-We invaded and still occupying Cyprus: We leave in your homes and we let you see your property once every 10 years. Maybe even allow you to take some of you personal stuff back like photos etc.



We are the best, most murderous generous nation in the world since we let so many people live. We use refuges to blackmail other nations and at the end of the day WE DON'T GET WHY YOU DONT WANT US IN THE EU.

We are currently contacting ethnic cleansing on Kurds in east Turkey and Syria. However, we strongly contemn what is Israel doing in the Palestinians.

10/10 this so much!

No.

What has it done for me?

What have the Romans ever done for us!?

More Sunni Syrian refugees incoming to EU.

Apparently the boy is okay, minor injuries only.

You have probably seen this image, watched the video or both. A Syrian child covered in dust and blood sits in an orange ambulance chair, grey and alone. His stunned, mute face has now been hailed a*"symbol" of his country's devastation and suffering. His huddled frame was*photoshopped into pictures*with world leaders, the latest emblem of the international community's failure to bring to an end one of the ghastliest civil wars in modern history.



The good news is that Omran Daqneesh, the young*boy pulled out*from the rubble of an airstrike in the Qaterji neighborhood of Aleppo, is alive. So too, according to reports, are his parents and siblings.

The bad news is that the conflict that has hollowed out his hometown, once Syria's most populous urban center, shows little sign of flagging. And*that, beyond Omran's*heart-rending rescue, there are already too many stories of children who never could sit in that ambulance chair, looking back at the world's cameras.

We've been here before, of course. Last year, the image of the drowned toddler Alan Kurdi, his lifeless body resting on a Turkish beach,*seemed to wake up*the outside world to the misery and horror of the Syrian refugee crisis. But despite an outpouring of global woe and lamentation, little *changed.

In the months since Kurdi drowned, fears over integration and terrorism saw*Europe grow more hostile to Syrian refugees seeking sanctuary in the West. Kurdi's father chose to return*to his ruined*home city of Kobane, along the Turkish border, in a move that epitomized the tragedy and futility of the moment.

--The Assad regime has been boosted by a strengthening Russia-Iran alliance, signaled this week by*reported Russian air strikes launched from an Iranian base this week. This is despite concerted American diplomatic efforts to*get Moscow to both apply more pressure on Assad and perhaps help*minmize*the role played by Iranian proxies in the conflict.

"The Russians are showing they have options in Syria while they have Washington over a barrel on Aleppo,” Andrew Tabler, Syria expert at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, told PBS.

--Thousands of Shiite fighters linked to Iran have entered the fray. Tehran has long backed the Assad regime in Damascus, which it sees as an essential ally in its wider rivalry with Saudi Arabia and other Sunni Arab states. "The balance of power in the region as a whole is also at stake," wrote Youssef Sadaki, laying out the geopolitical chess map in a blogpost for the Atlantic Council.

Civilians caught up in Aleppo cluster bomb attacks

Images emerge showing remnants of widely proscribed cluster munitions scattered around civilian area of wartorn city.

Cluster bomb attacks on rebel-held areas of Aleppo have killed nine civilians and sent thousands of others fleeing.
The widely proscribed cluster munitions were used in the bombardment of rebel-held areas of Aleppo's Masshad, Salaheddine and Sukkary after midday prayers on Friday.
Those killed were women and children on a minibus, trying to leave the areas hardest hit by the strikes. At least 20 more people have been wounded in the attacks.*
Images obtained by Al Jazeera show unexploded cluster bomblets lying around the city as civilians walk nearby.
The use of the weapons, which scatter hundreds of bomblets over a vast area, has forced thousands of residents to take the risky journey out of the city through areas of intense fighting between government troops and rebel fighters.

Eliot Higgins, a journalist who specialises in the analysis of munitions used in the Syrian conflict, said the bomblet pictured in one image was the ShOAB-05 - a Russian-produced munition.

The bomblet contains a 70-gramme mixture of TNT and RDX explosives lined with more than 304 steel pellets, according to a blog post by munitions expert N R Jenzen-Jones.*
