Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said the United States is protecting Jabhat Fateh al-Sham, formerly known as al-Nusra. Lavrov said the US has broken a promise to separate Jabhat Fateh al-Sham from other supposedly moderate Syrian groups attempting to overthrow Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad. French intelligence reported months ago US air strikes against the Islamic State have avoided targeting positions held by al-Nusra. In 2016, an al-Nusra unit commander told a German newspaper the terror group has received sophisticated weapons indirectly from the United States, including TOW rockets. This assistance and preferential treatment has made al-Nusra the most effective and vicious of the so-called rebel groups. Over the last couple months, the Syrian Arab Army has made significant gains against the Islamic State and other jihadi terrorists. Trump is not only continuing the wars Obama inherited from Bush, he is expanding them under the advice of his senior policy advisor, H.R. McMaster. Since Trump assumed office the Pentagon has killed nearly as many civilians in Syria as were killed during Obama’s eight years in office. The effort to save al-Nusra is an effort to keep war and its profit going for long as possible.

So, civilians with the misfortune of already living in the regions that groomed terrorists are strategically deployed to are unavoidable collateral damage to the US, but *certain* terrorist groups intermingled with civilians are successfully, specifically avoided (and the US will even ask Russia to spare them!) to protect the, should we call them moderate civilians, who intermingle with terrorist groups, on purpose….
Can the US reasonably expect people trying to survive another war not to align whoever is either flat-out protected by the US or at the very least spared?
The *freest* nation in the world can’t stop its own government from invading and conquering other sovereign nations through perpetual war that has killed and displaced millions over the years = Commander In Chief is just a puppet position for a rogue military government run out the Pentagon who treat civilians like collateral, soldiers like errand boys and assets like diplomats — doesn’t get more dishonorable than that.
I seriously cannot believe the whole world allows us to go around murdering millions of people. To hear Trump say if Iran is not going to be partners in PEACE! Are you fucking kidding me? How does anyone look at that and not laugh in his face? There is no one with any power and influence in the ENTIRE WORLD who has any sort of moral compass to allow us to do this year after year. I have often said if I believed in religion, I would think this world here is hell and we are trying to work ourselves out to get to heaven. To have psychopathic murderers literally running the world, it seems I would be correct if I held such a belief.
What exactly was the purpose of including that clip from Democracy Now? In that clip in says that “The U.S. has now surpassed Russia in its killing of civilians….” What exactly is this referring to?… Kurt Nimmo’s work often lacks cohesion.
Where is Congress? I have heard a handful of members speak out but they are cumulatively silent and have been for over 16 years. Our military has no authority to be in Syria, from neither the UN nor Congress. I thought Trump got it, that he understood the fallacious foreign policy presented by mainstream media outlets and the Pentagon.
Thank you, Kurt…
The killers come out of the shadows in the US: McMaster, Mattis, Patreaus and other loonies.
Trump didnt even know who McMaster was when whomever picked him for the job. In a video on TV when Trump was announcing McMaster for the job he had to read his name from the paper in his hand. The McMaster fact sheet I guess? Thats how much he knew nothing about the man that he could not even remember his name after he was approved for the job! Insane!
What a complete puppet that Trump is, worse than that Obummer.
The dirt the CIA/NSA must have on this guy must fill an entire book.
It made him the perfect Trojan Horse to run alongside Criminal Clinton.
All this “in-fighting” is nothing but theatre, smoke&mirrors. To make him look to his supporters as if he was (and still is) the real deal.
Must be difficult for the people that voted for – and support(ed) – him to admit that they were fooled, AGAIN!
And the extra bonus the Deep State got with Trump’s (s)election is the attack on and smothering of the real alternative media.
Hitting two birds with one stone.
They played it well, you have to give it to them.
If he stays on the reservation, he’ll be there for the next eight years.
What will they think of eight years from now?
Or is it not necessary for them to become too creative, people will just fall again for the same-old, same-old?
