Sally must think 1/4 million people have died in Syria in just the last 6 months. The Syrian debacle is now in its' 6th year and she wants to now put the onus on Russia? She's fruitloops...........!
Tut, tut, Mr. Kidd. Why not write the author of the article and tell him he is nuts? It appears that many posters have a problem with writers who come up with something that goes against their viewpoint. Perhaps the truth is they would like to lock these writers up just like they are locked up in countries where they can't publish their views. Meanwhile, let's see what is happening at the moment. No doubt you have no concern about these innocents who have just died, but there are people in this world who do. As an aside, besides creeping over here to call someone fruit loops, have you anything else to impart to us about what is happening in the Middle East since this is the forum for things like that. If not, maybe you are just an old busybody who felt that your comment was oh so important.

Missiles in Syria kill 50 as schools, hospitals hit; Turkey accuses Russia
KIEV/BEIRUT | BY ERCAN GURSES AND SULEIMAN AL-KHALIDI
Turkey on Monday accused Russia of an "obvious war crime" after missile attacks in northern Syria killed scores of people, and warned Kurdish militia fighters there they would face the "harshest reaction" if they tried to capture a town near the Turkish border.
An offensive supported by Russian bombing and Iranian-backed Shi'ite militias has brought the Syrian army to within 25 km (15 miles) of Turkey's frontier. The Kurdish YPG militia - which Turkey regards as a hostile insurgent force - has exploited the situation, seizing ground from Syrian rebels to extend its presence along the border.
Almost 50 civilians were killed when missiles hit at least five medical facilities and two schools in rebel-held areas of Syria on Monday, according to the United Nations, which called the attacks a blatant violation of international law.
