Since January, alleged Coalition civilian casualty events have been outpacing those of Russia. Initial data for March provides further evidence that civilian casualty allegations are both becoming more common under President Trump, and are likely to outrun Coalition efforts to track and investigate them.

Here's some of this month's haul so far -

Good for him if so.


Munatha Jasim watched Iraqi civil defense workers in red suits scurry among the ruins of her neighbors’ homes Friday, extracting the dead and zipping them into blue body bags.

The massive explosion that tore through Baghdad Street last week killed nine of Jasim’s relatives, including son Firas, 7, and daughter Taiba, 4. “We recovered half his body,” she said of the 7-year-old. “The rest is still there.”

Trump's Drone Strikes Outpace Obama (http://blogs.cfr.org/zenko/2017/03/02/the-not-so-peaceful-transition-of-power/)


By at least one measure at this point in his presidency, Trump has been more interventionist than Obama: in authorizing drone strikes and special operations raids in non-battlefield settings (namely, in Pakistan, Yemen, and Somalia). During President Obama’s two terms in office, he approved 542 (http://blogs.cfr.org/zenko/2017/01/20/obamas-final-drone-strike-data/) such targeted strikes in 2,920 days—one every 5.4 days. From his inauguration through today, President Trump had approved at least 75 drone strikes or raids in 74 days—about one every day. These include three drone strikes in Yemen on January 20, 21, and 22 (http://www.centcom.mil/MEDIA/PRESS-RELEASES/Press-Release-View/Article/1059762/us-central-command-announces-3-recent-strikes-in-yemen/); the January 28 Navy SEAL raid in Yemen (https://foreignpolicy.com/2017/03/01/a-day-in-the-life-of-a-disgraceful-commander-in-chief/); more than seventy strikes in Yemen since February 28 (http://uk.reuters.com/article/uk-usa-yemen-strikes-idUKKBN1751XD?rpc=401&); and one reported strike in Pakistan on March 1 (http://www.reuters.com/article/us-pakistan-drones-idUSKBN16914P).

US Troop Presence In Syria At Its Highest Ever (http://time.com/4699178/us-troop-increase-presence-syria-raqqa-isis/)


The Trump Administration is intensifying America’s involvement in the ground war in Syria, having announced on March 9 that it is sending 400 more troops to join the fight against ISIS there. The new deployment of Army Rangers and a U.S. Marine artillery unit raises fresh questions about the scope and timeline of the U.S. mission in Syria, where the number of American troops is now approaching a high of around a thousand (http://www.npr.org/2017/03/10/519593261/trump-s-military-strategy-reflects-a-more-aggressive-stance) (Washington has not disclosed an exact number). The U.S. is also sending another 2,500 troops (https://www.armytimes.com/articles/82nd-airborne-syria-iraq-kuwait-islamic-state) to a staging base in Kuwait, awaiting possible deployment to Iraq or Syria.

Recent comments from U.S. officials suggest that the military is contemplating a deployment in Syria that extends far beyond the defeat of ISIS as a conventional armed force. In his testimony (https://www.stripes.com/news/votel-more-conventional-forces-could-be-used-to-stabilize-syria-1.457892#.WMV6kBKGNE4) to the Senate Armed Services Committee on March 9, Army General Joseph Votel, who leads the U.S. Central Command, said additional forces may be needed in the future to help with “stability and other aspects of the operations.” The Pentagon is also considering lifting a formal cap of roughly 500 U.S. troops permitted on the ground in Syria, a limitation imposed by former President Barack Obama, according to (https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/pentagon-plan-to-seize-raqqa-calls-for-significant-increase-in-us-participation/2017/03/04/d3205386-00f3-11e7-8f41-ea6ed597e4ca_story.html?utm_term=.edb09a2b8ffd) the Washington Post.

Donald Trump warns China the US is ready to tackle North Korea

Donald Trump has warned that the US will take unilateral action to eliminate the nuclear threat from North Korea unless China increases pressure on the regime in Pyongyang.

In an interview with the Financial Times, the US president said he would discuss the growing threat from*Kim Jong Un’s nuclear programme with Xi Jinping when he hosts the Chinese president at his Florida resort this week, in their first meeting.

“China has great influence over North Korea. And China will either decide to help us with North Korea, or they won’t,” Mr Trump said in the Oval Office. “If they do, that will be very good for China, and if they don’t, it won’t be good for anyone.”

But he made clear that he would deal with North Korea with or without China’s help. Asked if he would consider a “grand bargain” — where China pressures Pyongyang in exchange for a guarantee that the US would later remove troops from the Korean peninsula — Mr Trump said: “Well if China is not going to solve North Korea, we will. That is all I am telling you.”

I'm not convinced he'll actually attack N. Korea (one hopes his advisors aren't quite that insane), but he's certainly upping the hostile rhetoric.

For Iran, I could actually see a war breaking out, if he persists in escalating the war in Syria.

GOP Takes Up Russia-Aligned Attack On Soros

A group of congressional Republicans is teaming up with Russia-backed politicians in Eastern Europe with the shared goal of stopping a common enemy: billionaire financier George Soros.


Led by Rep. Chris Smith of New Jersey and Sen. Mike Lee of Utah, the conservative lawmakers have signed on to a volley of letters accusing Soros of using his philanthropic spending to project his liberal sensibilities onto European politics. As Lee and other senators put it in a March 14 letter to Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, Soros’ Open Society Foundations are trying “to push a progressive agenda and invigorate the political left.”

It’s an accusation that’s being fomented and championed by Moscow.

Soros, who survived the Nazi occupation of his native Hungary and fled after World War II when it was under Soviet control, has been long a bęte noire of the Kremlin, which sees his funding for civil society groups in former Soviet satellite states as part of a plot to install pro-Western governments.

For years, those complaints had generally fallen on deaf ears in Washington.

While Republicans have long regarded Soros as a mortal enemy when it comes to domestic politics (where he has spent tens of millions of dollars backing Democratic candidates and liberal causes), their politics were more aligned on the international stage. Soros’ efforts to boost democracy and root out corruption in former Eastern Bloc countries dovetailed with traditional Republican foreign policy objectives.

But things may have started changing after Donald Trump’s stunning victory in a presidential campaign during which he emphasized nationalist themes. Politicians with nationalist constituencies in several former Eastern Bloc states have become increasingly aggressive in seeking international support for their crusade against Soros, and they seem to have found at least some takers in the GOP.

The particular focus of the letters from Lee, Smith and their cohort is spending by Soros’ foundations in Macedonia, a former socialist republic in the throes of a two-year political crisis, and to a lesser extent in its neighbor to the west, Albania. In the former Communist country, which has struggled with allegations of corruption, one letter expressed concerns that “Soros-backed organizations” are pushing reforms “ultimately aimed to give the Prime Minister and left-of-center government full control over judiciary power.”

The letters, which ask the State Department and the Government Accountability Office for information about U.S. foreign aid funding for Soros groups in the Balkans, came after lobbying from the right-wing party clinging to power in Macedonia, VMRO-DPMNE.

Chris Stone, president of the Open Society Foundations, suggested that autocratic regimes see Trump’s rise as giving them carte blanche to resist reforms, and to dismiss those proposing them.

“Authoritarians, branded today as ‘illiberals,’ have long opposed George Soros and the vision of an open society, but they have been emboldened by Trump's victory to go even further,” Stone told POLITICO.

So far, the Republican lobbying against Soros’ efforts in Macedonia has not resulted in much. But the involvement of several high-profile Republicans, including Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, is raising eyebrows within the U.S. foreign policy community, who see the baleful influence of Moscow making inroads on Capitol Hill.

Russia is trying to exploit the crisis in Macedonia to sow distrust of the U.S. and pull the right-wing party into its orbit, regional analysts say. And the Republican lawmakers’ concern — that the U.S. is, in the words of Lee’s letter to Tillerson, “fomenting political unrest, disrespecting national sovereignty and civil society” — handed Moscow a major propaganda coup, they warn.

Russia’s state-controlled English-language websites rushed to trumpet Lee’s and Smith’s letters, holding them up as proof that the U.S. is guilty of exactly what it accuses Russia of doing in 2016 — interfering in another country’s politics.

“Senators ask Tillerson to probe US ‘fomenting unrest’ in other countries,” RT blared.

Sputnik News reported on Lee’s letter under the headline “Tables Turned: Have Obama and Soros Hacked Foreign Elections?”

The claims have been echoed in right-wing U.S. outlets, from the conspiracy website Infowars to Fox News.

“It’s straight from the Russian playbook — the idea that some American NGO is fomenting the demonstrations is like ascribing to the CIA mystical powers that don’t exist,” said a policy analyst with knowledge of the Balkans. “The Russians have been using all tactics at their disposal, and it’s a very inexpensive way to stir the pot.”

Aside from military action, the US on its own has no leverage with North Korea. There aren't any economic ties to sever or sanctions we can impose (sanctions have an extensive record of failing anyways and not just with Korea- they have rarely worked anywhere in the world). But yeah, some think it may be part of a negotiation tactic ahead of the Chinese leader meeting with Trump this week.

LOL

American NGOs (national endowment for democracy, etc, etc) do foment pro-US demonstrations around the world, esp. in former Soviet space. And the Kremlin does the exact same thing, esp. in Europe. The US wants to break Ukraine et al away from Russia, Russia wants to break up NATO. "Pro-democracy" type movements are often a US government front, as "anti-globalist" type movements are often a Russian front. The only difference, really, is that the US does it better ($$$), at least so far.

If you want to isolate your theory to ISIS, like Donald Trump, it's not my first choice but I think it is a strategy that is workable. We created them, we help destroy them, then we leave. But how far do you go past that? You're not talking about turning the Middle East into a glass parking lot are you?

I mean, unfortunately there would likely be some amount of blowback for some time if we stopped attacking them, but I feel like if we keep attacking them that just creates more blowback, and the other alternative is to take out the entire middle east, which is really not a good option at all.

the $#@! going on over there is getting worse, not better. Just 'pulling out' in my opinion is not doable any longer...Declare War, and perhaps save millions from the $#@! in the op.

Bombing for peace is like having sex for virginity. Obama dropped 26,000 bombs last year. You are saying 75,000 or 100,000 bombs will bring peace? I highly doubt that.

So, you would support Satan if he complained about something he claimed that Donald Trump did? Because that is basically what you are doing. Ya, let's let Satan take over the world because after all of the MILLIONS of deaths our government has caused, Donald Trump caused a couple in trying to wind it all down.

You like to make gigantic logical leaps in order to support your weak arguments. If Dick Cheney himself said, "hey, we are killing too many innocent people." I would have to agree with his statement. It doesn't absolve him of his crimes but to simply say he is wrong no matter what just because he is Dick Cheney is ignorant. You use the same arguments your fellow neocons like to use. You attack the messenger in order to dismiss the message. Trump killing civilians is wrong. Just because Trump is doing instead of Obama or George Bush or McCain doesn't suddenly make it okay.

This was worth a -rep. If you truly don't give a crap who dies as long as trump looks good, maybe reexamine your life.

You maybe right and 6-12 months from now, trump will become the peace president. Right now, he's a hardcore murderer like McCain and Obama. On steroids.

While I understand the place from which I think this comes, and I could be mistaken, there remains the unpleasant reality and the question of how to extricate ourselves.

Simply stopping might work. Then again, it might not. Some people are so pissed off, whether at us, the "Coalition", the Russians, the Brits, the Jooz, or whomever, that I see a Balkan-style blood feud simmering. That means generation upon generation of retribution. Are we to live on edge the rest of our great-great-great grandchildren's lives?

There are SO many lessons we should have learned as a species from the grave errors of the past, and yet we keep on as if genocides and other atrocities have been no part of our history. It buggers my rational mind, the cognitive dissonance to which this truth gives rise. This fact, coupled with ever growing technological means of extinguishing life likely seals the species' fate in the longer term. I see no way that the ever more deeply infantilized population of humanity will avoid the temptation to carry forth a real "final solution", somewhere down the temporal road. Just look at the rage with which presumed adults now comport themselves on a daily basis. How can that possible end well when the truth walks with perhaps 100 million Americans, and possibly far more? And what of the rest of the world? Anger and fear are now staples of everyday life, rather than the extraordinary.

Theye must be aware of this. Theye must have known what was to happen in the wake of their programs for reducing the general population to the status of functional idiots. Therefore, Theye must have a plan in mind that will not involve their own destruction. This leads me to the possible sub rosa preparations being made pursuant to Agenda 21. Such a grand conspiracy becomes more plausible by the minute, given what we see happening in the world.

Theire virtually guaranteed safety lies in the fact that they have managed to convince people that such theories are the machinations of madmen.

Once again, hats off to the masters, for they have done their jobs well. I am truly impressed by the comprehensive nature and the utter resiliency Theye demonstrate in the face of potential setbacks. Theye have made more lemonade than anyone else upon whom my thoughts might rest.

Mosul really happened. We'll never know the names of all the dead. When 9/11 took place, there was an advanced structure and method for identifying the victims. In Mosul, trump destroyed buildings full of innocent people whose identities will be wiped from memory. trump is banking that nobody will ever care about who they were.

It also makes you ignorant about what happened on 9/11, and no I don't think Ron Paul is ignorant about what happened on 9/11 at all. The problem is you only listen to what some of Ron Paul has to say on the topic instead of everything he has said on the topic, and why he trajected his stance in the way he did.

Of course there were terrorists who hated us for attacking their lands who participated in the attack who came from Saudi Arabia like Ron Paul maintains, there isn't any question about that. The question is why they were allowed to fly in the air that long after it was well known they were being hijacked. The question is why it took so long for them to realize they were hijacked. The question is why Pentagon Policemen did independent video interviews and were 100% positive the plane flew to the west of the CITGO gas station, and definitely not the east, and how their story corroborates with about a dozen other witnesses in the area. The question is why WTC1, 2 and 3 all came down in their own footprint at near-free fall speed. The question is why John O'neill, who was the lead investigator for the FBI on Bin Laden was fired from his job, placed as head of security for the twin towers in the days before the attack, and was found dead in a closet before the towers fell. Why military grade nano-thermite was found in 6 different dust samples collected by random individuals.

If you want to isolate your theory to ISIS, like Donald Trump, it's not my first choice but I think it is a strategy that is workable. We created them, we help destroy them, then we leave. But how far do you go past that? You're not talking about turning the Middle East into a glass parking lot are you?

I mean, unfortunately there would likely be some amount of blowback for some time if we stopped attacking them, but I feel like if we keep attacking them that just creates more blowback, and the other alternative is to take out the entire middle east, which is really not a good option at all.

whats not being discussed is the blowback for using sarin gas. Is this a nukable offense?...i'm thinking mad dog has an answer. Time will tell.

US Airstrikes Kill 21, Mostly Civilians, in Northern Syria
Attacks Targeted Internet Cafe, Boatload of Civilians
by Jason Ditz, April 08, 2017

While US “outrage” at civilian casualties from Syrian airstrikes is being used as a pretext for military intervention against the Syrian government, US forces continue their own airstrikes backing military operations in northeastern Syria, and are killing an increasing number of civilians in their own right.

Today, US airstrikes near Raqqa killed at least 21 people, mostly civilians, and while some of the strikes were near fighting between US-backed troops and ISIS, at least one of the strikes appears to have been a deliberate attack on a boatload of civilians attempting to cross the Euphrates River.

The boat was carrying about 40 people, and NGOs say that at least seven bodies, six of them children, have been recovered so far, with more missing. The US has dropped leaflets in the area urging civilians to flee toward the Euphrates, but apparently dropped a second leaflet warning them not to try to cross the river or they’d be attacked.

The airstrikes centered around the village of Hanida, which is along the Euphrates River west of Raqqa. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported a number of additional civilians killed in US strikes on the village. That the US is attacking the village is puzzling, because ISIS is not believed to have any presence in the village itself, and it appears to be at least some distance from the fight.

The biggest target in the Hanida strikes was an Internet cafe, with the US strike destroying the site, killing 14 people within, including four children. The US is so far not offering any justification for any of the attacks in the area.

Report: US Attack on Syrian Mosque Full of Civilians ‘Likely Unlawful’
Pentagon Failed to Analyze Target Before Attack
by Jason Ditz, April 18, 2017

On March 16, US warplanes attacked a crowded mosque in Aleppo Province, killing at least 38 people during a religious lecture. Human Rights Watch (HRW), having conducted their own investigation into the matter, says the attack was “likely unlawful.”

The US has promised their own investigation into the matter but so far haven’t offered much of anything, jumping between conflicting claims that it was an al-Qaeda target, that it wasn’t a mosque at all, and speculating that the Syrian military might’ve coincidentally attacked the mosque during an active US airstrike, despite pieces of US munitions being found inside the mosque.

HRW attributed this to a lack of target analysis ahead of the attack, saying that officials were unaware that the site was a mosque and unaware that they attacked during the start of evening prayers, saying that even cursory analysis could’ve figured at least some of this out.

HRW went on to advise the US to “do its homework” before launching such strikes. The Pentagon, however, is always interested in being able to deny incidents, irrespective of the lack of credibility of such a denial, and claiming they didn’t know it was a mosque, because they didn’t check, might ultimately be enough for the Pentagon to keep the incident out of their official toll of civilians killed, despite killing a number of civilians in the process.

Over and over, the killer kills, pleads not guilty, and acquits himself.

I mean, it looks like you can't be intellectually honest about any topic. I never said anything about slamming a woman's cervix, the person who was arguing with me was the one who brought up slamming their cervix. What I was saying was that contact with the cervix during intercourse creates a more pleasurable situation for a lot of women, many of whom report a more intense, different type of orgasm than they experience without that type of contact. It doesn't have to be slamming, although that may be pleasurable for some women I don't know, but I don't think that would be pleasurable for the guy either so I'm pretty sure the slamming thing is normally not an issue. But go ahead and keep telling everybody about how I thought slamming a woman's cervix was so great and something about holographic wings on missiles that I supposedly "spammed the forum with" when I don't even remember ever reading or watching anything about holographic wings on missiles, and I remember a lot of shit about my research on 9/11 and I am not one to post while blacked out on alcohol. So keep up the lies, keep up the slander, if you think that is the best way to get your point across, but I don't think it is. You would be better off using honest reasonable and persuasive arguments.

The Ron Paul Institute for Peace and Prosperity stated (https://www.rt.com/news/361938-white-helmets-syria-independant/) that that a major objective of SCD was to produce anti-President Assad commentary, on social media and elsewhere.


The organization has been accused by critics of fabricating reports and rescues. On 15 December, Russia Today (RT) interviewed (https://www.rt.com/news/370344-white-helmets-aleppo-residents/) residents, who had just left eastern Aleppo after it fell to government forces, claiming SCD operatives had stolen jewelry and only helped when cameras were present. Vanessa Beeley has published (http://21stcenturywire.com/2016/09/23/exclusive-the-real-syria-civil-defence-expose-natos-white-helmets-as-terrorist-linked-imposters/) her investigative stories to rip off the mask of the White Helmets, exposing it as a terrorist group. The journalist also exposed (https://thewallwillfall.wordpress.com/2015/10/23/white-helmets-war-by-way-of-deception/) Mosab Obeidat, one of the SCD leaders, as an arms trader personally involved (http://english.al-akhbar.com/node/16160) in the transactions to supply terrorists with arms and ammunition.


The White Helmets have posted (http://www.globalresearch.ca/white-helmets-ngo-a-rescue-and-assist-operation-under-guise-of-human-rights/5524928) fraudulent photos so as to blame the Syrian military for civilian casualties and intentional targeting of civilians. On November 30, Russia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs made a detailed statement (http://www.mid.ru/en/press_service/spokesman/briefings/-/asset_publisher/D2wHaWMCU6Od/content/id/2540954#10) about the fake pictures provided by the group for press. In late October, the Russian Defense Ministry said the group had produced (https://www.rt.com/news/364454-russia-idlib-school-comment/) fabricated photos to blame the Russian military for what it had not done.


The organization had spread around (https://sputniknews.com/middleeast/201509301027807644-ngo-caught-faking-syria-casualties-report/) the stories about the horrors of Russian air strikes before Russia’s parliament even granted President Putin the authority to use the Air Space Forces in Syria.


The UN conference (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ebE3GJfGhfA) Against Propaganda and Regime Change, for Peace and National Sovereignty took place (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ebE3GJfGhfA) in early December. Eva Bartlett, an independent Canadian journalist, said no international organizations operated in Syria to make media use such dubious sources of information as the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights which is represented (http://www.nytimes.com/2013/04/10/world/middleeast/the-man-behind-the-casualty-figures-in-syria.html) by only one person!


Hailed as heroic rescuers rushing to the aid of injured civilians in terrorists-controlled parts of Syria, the White Helmets are nothing else but an elaborate deception. The group is nothing else but a tool used by Western spy agencies to denigrate Russia and everyone who does not support the terrorists in their effort to overthrow the Syria’s legitimate government. The organization is a good example of the fact that all is fair in propaganda wars waged by the Western intelligence agencies against Russia.

The US strike on Shayrat Airbase in Syria killed 14 people including nine innocent civilians, the governor of Homs told RT.

Speaking to RT Arabic, Talal al-Barazi said the majority of victims of the missile strike carried out by the United States on Friday morning had been local villagers.

“Undoubtedly, the American attack on the Shayrat air force base was aimed at supporting terrorist groups and weakening the fighting capacity of the army of the Syrian Army, which is fighting the terrorists,” Barazi told RT. “According to recent reports, the attack resulted in the deaths of five soldiers and nine civilians and the wounding of thirteen women and children who were in the nearby Shayrat village.”

This aggression towards Syria is not the first and is unlikely to be the last.”

Syria’s official SANA news agency earlier on Friday reported that "an American missile also hit the village of Al-Hamrat, which killed four civilians including a child."

"Another seven civilians were wounded when a missile hit homes in Al-Manzul, 4 kilometres (two and a half miles) away from the Shayrat air base," it added, citing sources.

Maybe Russian diplomats are also getting paid by Soros?


Vladimir Safronkov, Russia’s deputy ambassador to the UN, criticized the reaction to the Syrian airstrike, as well as the general double standards used when talking about alleged crimes committed by the Syrian government, versus those of the Americans and their allies.

“The attack in Syria is an attempt to distract attention from the many victims among the peaceful population of Iraq and Syria caused by unilateral actions,” Safronkov said before a meeting of the UN Security Council on Friday. “Where’s your principle of assuming innocence? Why don’t your capitals recall this? In the Middle East and other regions, why do you forget the presumption of innocence in these cases?”

trump exported some liberty to Deir al-Zor on Monday. Six families killed. America is safer -

http://www.reuters.com/article/us-mideast-crisis-syria-strikes-idUSKBN17K0T0



Air strikes, thought to be by planes from a U.S.-led military coalition, killed at least 30 people in the eastern Syrian province of Deir al-Zor on Monday, including women and children, residents and activists said.

Coalition spokesman U.S. Air Force Colonel John Dorrian confirmed that the U.S.-led coalition had conducted strikes in the vicinity of the town of al-Bukamal, but said he could not "confirm the veracity of allegations of civilian casualties".

He told Reuters the coalition tried to avoid civilian deaths in its bombing campaign against Islamic State militants in Syria and neighboring Iraq.

The border town has been a haven in recent years for thousands of displaced Syrians from Aleppo and from other areas, including Iraq, where its residents have strong tribal ties across the border.

An activist in touch with relatives in al-Bukamal said at least three homes had been flattened in the residential Hay al Masriya district of the town and at least 30 people, mostly women and children from six families, had been killed.

A second former resident of the town gave a similar figure and said it was likely to rise, with several critical cases among the scores of people injured.

Amaq news agency, which is affiliated to the militants, released a video that it said showed extensive damage to a whole string of houses inside the city with rescuers treating children.

There were other casualties in raids on several villages near al-Bukamal.

Earlier the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported that jets "believed to belong to the international coalition" had struck al-Bukamal on Monday, killing three militants and 13 civilians including children.

The monitor said strikes also killed seven civilians in the town of al-Husainiyah further north along the Euphrates river.

Islamic State militants control most of Deir al-Zor province, which links territory they hold in Syria and Iraq, and parts of the provincial capital, which has the same name.

The Syrian government still controls some parts of Deir al-Zor city, including a nearby military air base, where Islamic State has besieged about 200,000 people lacking food and medicine for around two years.

Syrian government forces and their allies, backed by Russian air power, have been fighting back against Islamic State assaults in the area.

The U.S.-led coalition has in recent months stepped up targeted raids on the province to rupture the militants' supply lines across Iraq and Syria.

I don't think it will. If you prefer a globalist neocon quagmire to a 15 minute attack on an empty airbase, then I'm sorry but we will have to disagree.

We were in Syria for a whole 15 minutes 'fighting Assad', by bombing a small empty airbase.. and that bombing did not hurt Assad very much, yet it got us miles ahead of the game with Russia, China, North Korea and the entire world. It got the globalists off Trump's back for 5 seconds about him being a Russian agent. It achieved massive amounts of political capital for Trump.

I would imagine so, yes. But you are missing the bigger picture. You are helping to work to get Trump out of office so they can put a President more friendly to regime change and neocon boondoggle wars into office, so that they can murder millions of people. That is the goal of the people whose propaganda you are defending. Please stop, for the children.

Clearly, I was saying "Civilians?

Airwars is a news aggregator. Yes, they give their executive summary of what they think happened, but there's a panoply of sources and they tell you when the reporting is weak and single source. Here are the sources for one report whose Quality of Reporting they cited as "Fair."

My suggested headline for this article - "Trump isn't able to kill kids fast enough. Needs Saudi Arabia's help."

http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-saudi-yemen-idUSKBN17M2ZK



The United States wants new commitments from Saudi Arabia to improve its targeting procedures to minimize civilian casualties in its part in the Yemen civil war as it weighs resuming sales of precision-guided munitions to Riyadh, U.S. officials told Reuters.

An announcement of the weapons sale had been anticipated last month, but objections by mostly Democratic lawmakers and human rights groups have complicated the matter, the U.S. officials and others close to the issue said.

"We want the Saudis to show that they are committed to use these things properly," said one U.S. official, who spoke on condition of anonymity.

At issue is the sale of about $390 million worth of guidance systems made by Raytheon Co that convert "dumb" gravity bombs into precision-guided munitions that are supposed to more accurately hit targets.

Nearly 4,800 civilians have been killed in Yemen since the latest round of conflict began in March 2015, most of them by the Saudi-led coalition seeking to restore ousted President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi, the United Nations human rights office said in March.

The conflict pits Iran-allied Houthi rebels against the government backed by the Saudi-led Arab coalition.

A representative of the Saudi Embassy in Washington declined comment on discussions with Washington over the precision-guided weapons.

The Saudi government has called allegations of civilian casualties fabricated or exaggerated, and has said the coalition follows rigorous rules of engagement.

A group of U.S. senators introduced legislation on April 13 to set new conditions for U.S. military support for Riyadh.

"The Saudis are important partners in the Middle East, but they have continued to disregard our advice when it comes to target selection and civilian protection," Democratic Senator Chris Murphy said in a statement.

The U.S. officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of diplomacy with Saudi Arabia, declined to specify what additional safeguards they were seeking to avoid civilian deaths and injury.

The first official said the commitments could come in the form of a letter from Saudi Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir.

"This is an unconditional sale. There are no conditions attached. The decision has been made to let the sale go through," a second U.S. official said.

The official said the United States was in "regular dialogue" with Saudi Arabia on the issue of civilian casualties "and specific steps on how to do this."

In the past, Washington has pressed Riyadh to take more care in targeting; abide by "no strike" lists of off-limits areas; and promptly investigate reports of civilian casualties.

U.S. President Donald Trump's predecessor Barack Obama suspended the arms sale in December after an estimated 140 people were killed when planes struck mourners at a funeral in the Yemen capital, Sanaa, in October 2016. The Saudi-led coalition received incorrect information from Yemeni military figures that armed Houthi leaders were in the area, a coalition probe found.

Asked about the new commitments being sought from Riyadh, the State Department did not respond directly.

"The Saudi-led coalition is supporting the legitimate Yemeni government and defending itself from Houthi incursion into Saudi territory," a State Department official said.

The official said that the Saudi government "is taking measures to improve its targeting processes" and adopting measures for recording reports of civilian casualties.

A White House spokesman declined comment.

Ya, I recall thinking about how TheCount was essentially asking me if any civilians died, but formed in the question in a way where the answer "no" is actually "yes". Could be subconscious, but to me that is a manipulative way to ask a question on a forum so I decided to answer in a way that would make it clear what I meant, but I should have been more clear by adding "Yes, some civilians may have died" or something along those lines.

As far as targeting an empty airfield, yes you got that right, that's what was targeted. There were reported civilian casualties, which if true is unfortunate.

There were reported civilian casualties, which if true is unfortunate. I have my doubts about these accidental casualties sometimes. These so call smart missiles that are designed to reduce casualties on actual mission critical strikes hit some civilians on accident because this missed? How are these smart missiles missing a non moving target?

Can't we hit non moving targets with dumb rockets? We won't find out what's really going on until FOIA gets released if we are still a country then. There was A FOIA today that said the FBI uses the 702 program to "google" people, and when a lawyer asked them why they don't justify the reason they are searching an Americans records like the CIA and NSA do they say they don't do it because if they had to justify using it every time they used it they wouldn't use it as much.

UK may double troops in Afghanistan after Donald Trump request

US asks for reinforcements after Taliban resurgence

Ewen MacAskill Defence correspondent
18 May 2018 06.50 EDT

The UK government is considering doubling the number of troops deployed in (https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2018/may/18/uk-may-double-troops-in-afghanistan-after-donald-trump-request#img-1)Afghanistan (https://www.theguardian.com/world/afghanistan) in response to a request from Donald Trump (https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/donaldtrump) for reinforcements in the face of increasing gains by the Taliban.

Britain has about 600 troops in Afghanistan (https://www.theguardian.com/world/afghanistan) at present, mainly based in Kabul training officers and not engaged in combat. There is also a small contingent of special forces.
The new deployment could see hundreds more return to Afghanistan. The UK withdrew almost all of its combat troops from the country (https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2014/oct/26/uk-troops-camp-bastion-afghan-forces-13-years-helmand) in 2014.
Faced with a Taliban (https://www.theguardian.com/world/taliban) resurgence, the US, which has about 15,000 troops in the country supporting the Afghan military, asked the UK and other Nato countries last summer to send reinforcements. Britain responded with an extra 85.

Britain cannot send its young to Afghanistan simply because Trump demands it | Owen Jones

Later in the year, Trump renewed the plea and the proposed new UK deployment is in response to that request by the US president. The hundreds more British troops are expected to be involved in training rather than combat.

Air Force apologizes for tweet citing A-10s, deadly Afghan offensive, Yanny v. Laurel debate



By Elizabeth McLaughlin

May 17, 2018

The Air Force apologized Thursday for a tweet from its official account that appeared to make light of a deadly U.S. military operation in Afghanistan by referencing the viral pop culture debate "Yanny v. Laurel."

Early Thursday morning, the Air Force tweeted, "The Taliban Forces in #Farah city #Afghanistan would much rather have heard #Yanny or #Laurel than the deafening #BRRRT they got courtesy of our #A10."

The "deafening #BRRT" mentioned in the tweet was an apparent reference to the sound an air cannon aboard the A-10 makes when it strafes ground forces.

She writes for the respected daily Haaretz, where on May 19 she made an extraordinary charge (https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/gaza-israel-wiping-entire-palestinian-families-hamas-1.9820005) — that the Israeli military, as part of its air assault on Gaza, “is wiping out entire Palestinian families on purpose.”
So far, no mainstream U.S. media outlet has followed up on her report. Their failure is journalistic malpractice.
Hass, the daughter of Holocaust survivors, actually lived in Gaza from 1993-97, and afterward published the valuable Drinking the Sea in Gaza (1999). She obviously still has excellent contacts there. This latest report starts by observing that 15 Palestinian families in Gaza lost multiple family members during the Israeli bombardment:
Parents and children, babies, grandparents, siblings and nephews and nieces died together when Israel bombed their homes which collapsed over them. Insofar as is known, no advance warning was given so they could evacuate the targeted houses.

Hass contrasted this lack of warning with Israel’s policy toward the high-rise towers in Gaza, where the military did phone residents an hour or so in advance, directing them to evacuate. She then reported an almost unbelievable fact: the Israeli army and the Shin Bet intelligence service actually “have current phone numbers for people in each structure slated for destruction.” Under the Oslo Accords, the Gazan authorities are required to give the Palestinian population registry to the Israeli Interior Ministry. In what must be an unprecedented (and sickening) new feature of war, Israel’s army “knows the number and names of children, women and elderly who live in any residential building it bombs for any reason.”
She speculated that the Israeli military targets residences that it alleges have some connection to Hamas, “even if all it had was a telephone, or just hosted a meeting.” She concluded that to the Israel military:
. . . once the “importance” of a Hamas member is considered high and its residence is defined as a legitimate target for bombing — the “allowable” collateral damage, in other words the number of uninvolved people killed, including women and children — is very broad.

Amira Hass’s article cries out for follow up reporting by U.S. journalists. Now that the ceasefire is in place, The New York Times, for instance, could ask Iyad Abuheweila, its courageous man in Gaza, to visit the ruins of the abu al Ouf family home, where the father, Ayman, an internal medicine doctor, died, along with 12 of his relatives. Hass named all 12 victims, who ranged in age from 9-year-old Mir to Amin, aged 90. (Abuheweila’s own harrowing first-hand account (https://www.nytimes.com/2021/05/21/insider/gaza-airstrike-reporter.html) in today’s paper further undermines Israel’s assertion that it aimed only at military targets.) Times reporters in Israel could work their sources inside the military, to seek clarification and justification for knowingly destroying entire families. The paper could also interview professors and legal scholars who study the ethics of warfare, and ask them to opine on “allowable collateral damage.”
