So Russian AF commits no "war crimes" in their deliberate air strikes on hospitals and schools........a hospital was hit today and NOW this school was hit and initial reports of children killed...........
BREAKING
#RUSSIA airstrikes targeted School of #Kobtan_alJabal, killing 2 children so far
#Aleppo cs #Syria FEB 25
Appears Russia is not accepting the fact that FSA is not on the no air strike list based on the newest Russian peace truce interpretation.....US is again out in the cold or they simply do not care.......
RUSSIA consecutive airstrikes on #Marea, 9 airstrikes so far
#Aleppo cs #Syria FEB 25

CrowBat......concerning the VBIED attack on the Russian HQs.......
Hassan Hassan @hxhassan
The original report says "dozens were killed or wounded", which could mean anything from one killed & others wounded

Nearly 230k starving under Assad & Hezbollah siege in #EastGhouta & #Madaya. Another 300k about to in #Aleppo yet..
AND yet the first 21 tons of UN aid WENT straight to an Assad area...WHY was that??????
If true this will provoke Turkey big time....

CrowBat....some interesting comments from a Russian commenter with close ties to Moscow.....your opinion?????.
Great article by @Russia_Direct explaining Assad's discontent with the ceasefire -
http://www.russia-direct.org/opinion...easefire-syria …
I’m hearing something very interesting: Russia allegedly intentionally allowed ISIS to capture Khanasser-Ithrayya road ÷ Syrian forces
Now that the Syrian Army is "humiliated" Moscow will help retake control of the area.
Goal is to make Assad understand that without Rus military support he'll lose in no time. Moscow is unhappy about Assad's recent outbursts
If truce sticks in Syria, Russia will reduce military presence in the country and Assad doesn't want this to happen
http://www.russia-direct.org/opinion...easefire-syria …
CrowBat...from our favorite proAssad commenter:
Elijah J. Magnier @EjmAlrai
Nice joke. And Russia allowed 13 #Iranian Special Forces to be killed. No "Assad forces involved 2be "humiliated".
THEN this comment is extremely interesting and goes to the potential failure...
Yury Barmin @yurybarmin · Feb 22
Yury Barmin
The agreement on ceasefire in Syria won't stick unless it specifically tells Russia what targets it can/can't attack
CrowBat....the Russian commenter is also indicating that the rebels must sign a document that they are part of the truce.....is this maybe what the Russians were talking about yesterday about "signing peace documents" with various groups....NOWHERE is that being mentioned in the Kerry/Lavrov press conference nor by the HNC.....
This is coming from a Russian commenter who has reasonably good Moscow contacts.....
Yury Barmin @yurybarmin · 6h6 hours ago
This is the document rebel commanders in Syria need to sign to be part of the ceasefire.
This is going to get really really interesting in the coming days.....
TASS
@tassagency_en
Moscow accuses Turkey of hiding illegal activity near border
http://tass.ru/en/politics/858903 …
So now Russia wants to be part of the Saudi and Turkish decision making process...since they admit that both countries have the inherent right to do what they want to do....if one really reads the PR correctly.....MOSCOW, February 25. /TASS/. Turkey is trying to hide illegal activities near the border with Syria by denying a Russian observation flight over its territory, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on Thursday.
"Ankara had no right to deny the observation mission over its territory," she said. "Its refusal indicates the Turkish side’s intention to hide some kind of activity that takes place in the areas over which a Russian aircraft was to fly."
The diplomat drew attention to the fact that Ankara argues that Moscow’s statements on illegal activities near the Turkish-Syrian border were groundless. "It was a great chance to dot the i’s and close the issue," Zakharova said.
"The fact that we were refused means that there is something to hide and we know what is hidden," she said. "We constantly talk about it."
Deployment of Saudi jets to Turkey does not contribute to enhancing confidence
The deployment of Saudi fighter aircraft to Turkey does not contribute to confidence building around the situation with the cessation of hostilities in Syria, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman went on to say.
"This issue [the deployment of Saudi military aircraft to Turkey — TASS] is the issue of relations between the two countries. Let’s take two categories as a premise," Zakharova said. "Firstly, do they have the right to do so? They do. Secondly, what is the purpose of this [move]?"
"We are now dealing with resolving the complex regional crisis. To achieve a truce we need confidence," she said. "Do such steps contribute to confidence building? Of course, they do not."
Secondly the Russian FM makes the statement ...we need confidence...BUT what about the constant violations of and failed implementation by Russia of Minsk 2 and their constant statements "they are not killing civilians" when the whole world knows differently...SEEMS to be they have a serious "creditability issue" and yet they attempt to divert attention from themselves and point the finger at others...typical Russian propaganda hard at work.....
BTW Russia constantly is illegally hiding their own military and heavy weapons inside Ukraine AND openly refuse OSCE the right to monitor all of the areas they occupy.
First class hypocrisy.......

Russia doesn't support Assad regime, we're defending Syrian sovereignty & fighting terror: FM spox
http://www.rferl.org/contentlive/liv...84408#featured …
BUT WAIT Russia wants to install highly accurate and detailed digital cameras for their US requested flights which were and or have never been approved...which was not foreseen in the original Open Skies Treaty.
AND Russia has not implemented certain OST limits on their cameras and or limited a number of areas the US cannot fly over in Russia .....
MFA Russia ✔ @mfa_russia
#Zakharova: Actions of Turkey should raise concerns over the viability of the Open Skies Treaty

Typical Russian hypocrisy hard at work....
Russia just keeps on telling other countries what they should and or should not be doing.....
MFA Russia ✔ @mfa_russia
#Zakharova: We hope the #UK will act & make statements based on the Russia-US Statement on #Syria | @RussianEmbassy
Evidently they did not like the UK statements that Russia will continue bombing just about anyone they want...which is actually true based on today's bombing targets.....
Nice to see the actual Russian strategy now for Syria and yet the Obama Wh did not see this coming.....???? They had mentioned this initially when they entered Syria then parked it on the back burner......
MFA Russia ✔ @mfa_russia
#Zakharova: The anti-terrorist coalition in #Syria must include the Syrian army, the Syrian patriotic opposition and the Kurdish forces (Lead naturally by the Russian Army)
Excellent way to keep Assad in power as he himself recently stated until 2020 and at the same time agitate the Turks....
The German MSM BILD strike fears into the hearts of the Russian FM...countering Russian info warfare on page one has become a specialty of theirs lately as they cover Russian actions in Syria, Ukraine and now Russian propaganda aimed at Germany.
MFA Russia ✔ @mfa_russia
#Zakharova: Strangely, but our German colleagues do not regard the leading German media anti-Russian rhetoric as biased
MFA Russia ✔ @mfa_russia
#Zakharova:We're perplexed by German officials saying that activities of Channel One Russia are allegedly “biased”

BUT WAIT is this not the US supported and funded Kurdish proxy that was suppose to be attacking IS BUT instead attacked Arab Sunni's....
CrowBat......have you noticed that the parliamentary elections called by Assad for 13 April have not be refuted by either the Russian and or the US......
AND in Damascus one is seeing the first election placards spring up....
AND here is the Assad loophole....
Assad said on Saturday he was ready for a ceasefire, on condition that opposition forces he describes as terrorists did not use a lull in fighting to their advantage, and that countries backing insurgents halted support for them.
that is not about to happen thus he and Putin can continue to attack FSA using this loophole.....

You have got to be kidding me is all I can say .....that is what happens when you use a Russian contracted aircraft and Russian loadmasters.....instead the US C130s and US loadmasters
Really suspect it all landed inside the Assad military areas.....
