The U.S. and Russia Are Now in a Proxy War in Syria

Last week, the United Steaks bombed and killed at least 60 Syrian troops, enabling ISIS psychopaths of overrun an airport. The U.S. admitted to supporting terrorism, saying it was an accident. Since then, the tenuous ceasefire with Russia collapsed, due to Russia’s complaints that U.S. backed rebels weren’t holding up their end of the bargain.

Yesterday, Russia bombed out a UN convoy, which was allegedly sending food and supplies to the war stricken areas of Aleppo, killing 20 and scorching 18 UN trucks.

The White House on Tuesday night said it held Russia responsible for the air strike on the convoy. “There only could have been two entities responsible, either the Syrian regime or the Russian government,” Ben Rhodes, White House spokesman, said. “In any event, we hold the Russian government responsible for airstrikes in this space.”

Two US officials had earlier said they had intelligence confirming that two Russian Sukhoi SU-24 warplanes were in the skies above the aid convoy at the precise time it was struck, and that the conclusion was that Russia was to blame.

In a further suggestion of Russian involvement in the attack, its defence ministry said on Tuesday that the convoy had been accompanied by a militants’ pickup truck armed with a heavy mortar gun, Russian news agencies reported.

The ministry uploaded to YouTube what it claimed was drone footage of the convoy which showed “new details” about the incident.

“All the evidence suggests the Russians were involved in bombing the aid convoy as an act of revenge for the coalition air strike at the weekend which killed 60 Syria soldiers,” said a senior coalition official. “If this can be proved, then the Russians could find themselves facing war crimes charges.”

So, the Russians could find themselves facing war charges for bombing a UN convoy that also included Syrian rebels, but nothing comes from the ‘accidental’ bombing of Syrian soldiers by the U.S.? This is intellectual laziness on behalf of the clowns who released this statement.

Due to the bombing, the UN has canceled all humanitarian aid to Syria and one of their officials  took this occasion to place ISIS terrorists on a moral and ethical high ground by suggesting the greater evil in the region was  Assad’s army.

“The United Nations has been forced to suspend aid convoys as a result of this outrage,” Mr Ban said.

“The humanitarians delivering life saving aid were heroes. Those who bombed them were cowards.”

Mr Ban blamed all the international players backing the warring sides, which would include Russia as well as the US, Turkey and Saudi Arabia.

“Powerful patrons that keep feeding the war machine also have blood on their hands,” he said.

“Present in this hall today are representatives of governments that have ignored, facilitated, funded, participated in, or, even planned, and carried out atrocities inflicted by all sides of Syrian conflict against Syrian civilians.”

But he singled out Syria for a stinging rebuke.

“Many groups have killed many innocents, but none more so than the government of Syria,” Mr Ban said.

This is good for at least 50 spoos.
