US Propaganda Strikes Again- Russian War Crimes in Syria

   After a week of bipartisan hysteria about Trump's surprise withdrawal of US troops from part of NE Syria,  complete with tears for "we're abandoning our allies, the Kurds'' (the US is in Syria illegally, and has no right to make "allies" with any ethnic group in any country trying to overthrow any government), the Russians brokered a deal between the Kurds and the Syrian Arab Army to work together to fight ISIS and push back the Turks.


   Now what, imperial media, who were united as one in their anti-peace propaganda?   What a major disappointment to the talking heads, who were eagerly awaiting footage of dead Kurds and instead got the Kurds joining the SAA.   Quite a blow.  Ordinary people who hate war celebrated the hopeful stride forward, but the psychopaths who run our country were very, very mad and sad.

   An ABC "news" channel ran footage they claimed was of Turkey blowing up Kurds, but it turned out to be footage from a gun range in Kentucky.  

    And the NY Times decided to run an article claiming that Russia bombed four hospitals last May, which Democracy Now eagerly "reported", also.

     Americans who go bankrupt  from medical bills may envy the Syrians, who apparently have a hospital on every corner in every town.  Such luxury!   Even with  hundreds of them being bombed by either Syria or Russia  (according to US media over the last 7 years), they still manage to take care of their citizens' health needs.  Except for the shortages of medicines caused by the US embargo, of course.

    But how interesting that the hysterical predictions of genocide were thwarted, but instead of following up on the last week's "reporting", the imperial media decides to ignore the follow-up and publish lurid (and no doubt false) reports from last May.  How transparently desperate of them.

    Americans abandoned by their government in Flint, (where the water is still contaminated),  LA (where cholera has reappeared in homeless encampments), as well hungry and homeless Americans all over the country, may be a little jealous of the overwhelming propaganda talking about loyalty and commitment to allies.   If only their government showed loyalty and commitment to providing basic services to our own citizens, the way we are told that we must provide support and  ammo to rebels in other countries.  That would be lovely.
