Нелепость Алеппо
Год российских бомбардировок в Сирии. Цена скромная - 56 миллиардов рублей, половина ралдугинской виолончели.
Год боевых действий российских ВКС в Сирии мог стоить российскому бюджету почти 56 млрд руб., свидетельствуют подсчеты РБК. Для сравнения, это в 12 раз меньше, чем утвержденный бюджет чемпионата мира по футболу в 2018 году.

Около 10 тысяч убитых, из них около 4 тысяч гражданского населения, включая около тысячи детей.
Around 3,800 civilians, almost a quarter of them children, have been killed in Russian airstrikes in Syria in the year since Russia began its air campaign there, according to a UK-based monitoring group.

Кассетные бомбы (оружие, запрещенное в 119 странах) использованы для бомбежки больниц.
The video shows two unexploded submunitions amid the rubble at the M10 hospital in rebel-held eastern Aleppo following a Wednesday morning airstrike. Several experts and sources independently identified the devices as Russian-made ShOAB 0.5 cluster submunitions, bomblets delivered by an air-delivered scattering device called the RBK-500. Both are known to be used by both the Russian and Syrian air forces.

Для чего это все? Кому в России от этого стало лучше?
Одному человеку. Ему теперь немножко крепче спится по ночам.
В мировом профсоюзе диктаторов за 5 лет ушли 5 диктаторов из 10. Остальные живут в состоянии "приготовиться".
Russia will likely try to divert from its own actions by invoking United States actions elsewhere in the past. What members can be sure that Russia will not do today, or any day, is accept any responsibility for its actions. What members can be sure that Russia will not do is tell the truth. [...] Nobody has to convince the United States of America of the danger posed by terrorists. Our citizens are often priority targets all around the world. But when Russia is espousing fiction, we have to call that out. What Russia is sponsoring and doing is not counter-terrorism; it is barbarism. [...] One first responder said of the relentless assault of the last few days: “People do not know what to do or where to go. There is no escape. It feels like the end of the world.” The end of the world. It is apocalyptic, what is being done to eastern Aleppo. Surely, for Rawan - who at five years old has lost her entire family - the Council can at the very least have the courage to say who is responsible for this and, in a single voice, tell Russia to stop.
Let us not forget that Al-Assad’s regime, supported by Russia, has killed far more civilians in Syria than Da’esh and Al-Nusra put together. So every time we rightly condemn Da’esh and Al-Nusra terrorism in Syria, let us also condemn the absolute terror being inflicted on the Syrian people by the Al-Assad regime and by Russia as they continue to bomb Syrian civilians day and night. Because the Syrian people will never forget the death and destruction that the sectarian Al-Assad regime has unleashed upon them, nor will they forget that Russia aided and abetted that ruthless sectarian dictator in waging war against his own people. [...] So let us be clear. It is Russia’s actions in Syria and in the Council that have caused that failure; it is Russia’s actions that have prolonged the conflict and prolonged the suffering. It is Russia’s four vetoes in the past five years that have prevented Council unity and brought shame on us all, and brought its diplomacy into disrepute. [...] We must decide what we can do now to end the sieges and the chokehold that is preventing aid getting in. And in doing so, we must speak loudly and clearly that there will be accountability for these crimes and so many more, including the barbaric, despicable use of chemical weapons by the regime against its own people. That is the only way to stop the suffering, and it is the only way for Russia to atone for its deplorable actions in Syria.
