MORE ON THIS HASS MASSACRE ...deliberate use of thermobaric bombs against civilians especially children...AND THIS does not rate as a war crime against humanity and under the UNGA/UNSC/UNHRC "Responsibility to Protect (R2P)??????


BREAKINGNEWS
Heavy #AssadPutin air strikes on #Hass town in #Idlib province.
A #massacre! More than 21 plus killed countless wounded children.

According to @SyriaHR, 14 children among 22 dead after Idlib school attack. Other accounts put overall death toll higher.

@ALAMAWI
A complex of 3 schools was targeted in #Has #Idlib by many airstrikes including a double tap. Initial reports of 20+ killed & many injured.
Double tap was clearly seen in the video THUS RuAF strike as that is their trademark tactic.....

RuAF blast in #Hass #Idlib was seen and heard miles away from nearby #Kafranbel

Initial report of victims names,dozens are badly injured
https://twitter.com/valkryv/status/791225733939077120#…

Strikes were carried out using heavy Russian thermobaric type weapons using drag chutes....

The #US / @CJTFOIR calls #Russia's propaganda bluff.
Produce evidence for US attacks on civilians in #Mosul or keep quiet.

Basically declared the Russian MoD statement about bombing a school killing 100 and wounding 200 A BIG FAT PROPAGANDA LIE.

BUT WAIT.....the Russians double tapped three schools today in Syria killing 14 plus children, 22 plus adults and many more wounded.....with heavy drag chuted THERMOBARIC bombs.....

MAYBE the Russian MoD got the wrong country, the wrong air force and the wrong schools mixed up...would not be the first time they get things wrong. OR got caught lying to the entire world in a major press conference called by the Russian MoD........

BUT WAIT ...this is a typical Russian switch and bait tactic from eastern Ukraine...claiming the other party did exactly what in fact they did...

Assad and Russian WAR CRIMES can now be never overlooked....this is a true war crime.....AND YET the West, Obama and the UNSC says absolutely nothing......

CHILREN deliberately targeted as they were walking home from school....


Geolocation of the #school in #Hass, the #Russian regime or its puppet #Assad bombed today.
20+ killed.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JwLDJhoE6RE#

One day after accusing the #US of bombing a "school" near #Mosul, the #Russian regime does exactly this in #Syria.

And this time,it's FOR real and NOT PROPAGANDA!! GRAPHIC!!!!!!!


ATTACK was deliberate, targeted, timed, and used a thermobaric weapon (AGAINST A SCHOOL)....which only the Russians are dropping in Syria....

UN confirms that 22 children and 6 teachers were killed in a Russian double tap air strike using drag chuted thermobaric bombs. Bombs hit an area containing three schools where the children were leaving for the day.

THIS is interesting as it indicates a possible Russian intel failure.....double tap air strikes have been used on first responders, aid convoys and or thought to be rebel headquarters/bunkers, food storage etc....BUT never on schools.

EXCEPTION....Russia has recently started double tap air strikes on hospitals...

UNLESS Russia thinks it can break the will of the anti Assad forces by directly air striking their children....

[OUTLAW 09]

Russian AF is now using drag chuted bunker busting bombs on civilian residential areas BUT nothing is being dropped on IS in the last say SIX months....WHEN Putin proclaimed in front of the UNGA that is what he was going to attack.....IS NOT civilians....

AssadPutin also used the mighty parachute bombs vs. the free towns in #Hama province today.
Many of them!

This is a lead article posted by SWJ on Syria and the Kurds by a well know DC journalist....

NOTICE he never ever utters a single printed word that many ME SMEs have stated since 1979 the Kurdish YPG/SDF our supposedly best anti Is fighting force inside Iraq/Syria is the same very US named Kurdish terrorist group called PKK...they just changed to names to get US support..AND to protect the "innocent so to speak"..

NOT a single word about that relationship which well known MS SMEs repeat over and over and over.....exists.....along with evidence of that relationship...why is that?

Secondly, he utterly failed to mention the fact that that so called US Kurdish proxy is in fact fighting against the CIA supported FSA using Assad/Putin CAS and artillery.....why is that...????

AND he totally failed to mention that wherever YPG goes there is a sudden and total ethnic cleansing of anything Arab confirmed repeatedly by AI and the HWR and to a degree even the UN...BUT not a single mention in the article.

Basically this was a PR paid piece for the YPG nothing more nothing less and again absolutely no understanding of the ME and the ground players.

Why the Middle East knows not to trust the United States
https://www.washingtonpost.com/opini...t-knows-not-to...

UNDER that title he could have written a far deeper meaningful article as the ME does not trust the US now and it is just not because of the Kurds.....

[OUTLAW 09]

WHAT can I say about this..even embarrassing to admit he is an American....

Trump would tell US Generals how to fight in Mosul as President....

Trump tells fmr Dean of Army War College: "I'll sit down & I'll teach him a couple of things" about Mosul operation.

This is absolutely fascinating by @brianfishman: New details on al-Qaeda's initial engagement with #IS's founder.

https://goo.gl/NtRuDz

Actually does explain some of what we were seeing in Iraq in 2003-2005 and then definitely in 2006....

[OUTLAW 09]

The hysterical response to this from the Alt-Right, Alt-Left, Assadists, and Krembots [assuming there's a distinction] is very suggestive.

Hardly a risk of 'open-ended' conflict with Russia in Syria. Entire Russian deployment could be wiped out in 48 hrs by US. Putin knows it.

THEN came in unison from all of the above mentioned groups....if there is any difference between them all.....

"WOW...we cannot do that...that would mean WW3"...the exact same verbiage used by the Russian propaganda media outlets over the last four weeks...meaning confronting Russia either in eastern Ukraine and or Syria means war....and that narrative came bundled in countless nuclear threats and missile deployments...

AND again from Trump the spokesperson for the "Alt-Right", Putin and Assad...

Trump: "We should…focus on ISIS. We should not be focusing on Syria."

We've tried that, and here we are. So are IS.

[OUTLAW 09]

Iran regards it as very dangerous when governments meddle in foreign states' internal affairs, esp Iraq's.

SO what the heck are they doing inside Syria????

HYPROCRISY on the part of the UN...especially when there was video footage available to witness the actual air strikes going in and the FSA/IS do not have AFs......

The @UN's @UNICEF condemned the attacks on the #school in #Idlib province, NOT mentioning, they were carried out by air strikes ...


TAKE NOTE: seems the Russian FM establishment sees the eventual fallout of their own air strike coming back full at them in the UNSC....

Russia's UN ambassador Churkin commented on the 20 school children killed in airstrike in Aleppo: "Awful, just awful. Hope it wasn't us."

IT is there for the entire world to see and observe...caught FULL on video and it was not the Turks, US nor the FSA and or the IS AFs which there are none....

An airstrike in Syria that killed 22 children may have been the deadliest on a school since the war began in 2011.

IS the Russian Mod now actually running low on their logistical side in supporting TWO full scale wars at the same time.....this is definitely not the norm for their regular supply runs into eastern Ukraine...especially during heavy fighting phases.....less munitions and fuel on this run...abnormal...


Russia's new 'humanitarian' convoy arrives half-empty
http://uatoday.tv/politics/russia-s-...y-794129.html#

Russian cash burn rate for supporting TWO full scale wars at the same times has to now be in the 30-45M USDs per day (low end) for now over a year...that equates out to roughly 500-700M USDs per year (low end)...

U.S. Pushes Up Plan to Attack ISIS Capital to Stop Attacks in the West
http://thebea.st/2eGYhMO

BTW..attacking Raqqa will not stop IS global attacks....might in fact actually increase them...

Actually the hidden agenda by the US is to totally push all Kurdish forces into the fight as a not so subtle attempt to give them their homeland under the fighting of IS and in the face of the Turkish TAF inside Syria....

THEY have not even taken Mosul yet ....and that will take months...literally months...going on past experience at digging out IS from towns...already the IEDS and major diversionary attacks are throwing off the overall timeframes and this does not take into consideration if IS flips to a true guerrilla war fight....of constant ambushes and IE across all of the Sunni triangle a al 2005/2006.

WHAT we are seeing is the DoD attempt to give Obama "legacy wins" before he leaves in Dec....

CENTCOM/DoD have apparently ignored the Iranian supported Iraqi Shia militia statements that they will participate in those attacks along with Hezbollah....into normally heavy Syrian Arab Sunni areas....

[OUTLAW 09]

I am not just the only one shouting very loudly about this development as
being quite serious....

When lax security becomes a huge problem

Symantec’s Security Response team has discovered that cybercriminals are hijacking home networks and everyday consumer connected devices to help carry out DDoS attacks on more profitable targets, usually large companies.

To succeed, they need cheap bandwidth and get it by stitching together a large web of consumer devices that are easy to infect because they lack sophisticated security. IoT devices are a prime target, since they are designed to be plugged in and forgotten after basic set-up.

“The results of the survey are unsurprising, and something security experts have been talking about for a while. IoT devices are proliferating at an incredible rate, many of them delivered by companies with little experience in hardening devices against attack. As a result, they’re falling victim to simple attacks that rely on very poor security in the device.

It’s like security ground-hog day – we’re going to have re-learn all the lessons of the last decade and apply them to a new class of device, quickly.

If we don’t, we’re going to be presenting hackers with oceanic quantities of free computing resource ready to be used for anything from spam email services to massive DDoS attacks against critical infrastructure,” Geoff Webb, Vice President of Solution Strategy, Micro Focus, told Help Net Security
