I dont know why people say Syria is not a democracy, a country that holds elections regularly, even during the war.
So Germany where Merkel is goinh for fourth term is not a democracy too abi?

ppl rioted in the US becos police killed a black man. What happens if Russia and China start arming the prostesters?

BTW in a saner world, Obama, Clinton, Saudi king and Erdogan will be jailed for terrorism

To show you that war is not good. Never pray or advocate for it. The consequences always surpass the advantages.

You seem to be feeding on too much CNN served with Al Jazeera, and washed down with BBC.

Here's what is certainly, definitely, absolutely sure about Syria.

1) It was the most liberal and prosperous Arab country in the Middle East.

2) 40% of the population is Syria is/was Christian, and Syrian Christians enjoyed the most secure environment in all of the Arab world.

3) The countries openly sponsoring and arming rebels against Assad to provide "freedom" are definitions of dictatorships themselves: Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, and UAE.

4) Syria is / was a democracy but none of these countries mentioned above is a democracy, and they none has any intentions of becoming a democracy in the near future.

5) US and NATO "freedom" delivered to Libya, Iraq and Afghanistan have transformed those countries into paradises. So they really want to bring paradise to Syria, too.

Look, regardless of which news source you choose to believe, one last thing is sure: SYRIA WAS BETTER OFF FIVE YEARS AGO THAN IT CAN EVER BE IN THE NEXT 100 YEARS.

The scale of the destruction is such that will require a century just to rebuild infrastructure to pre-war levels.

And if not for Russia's intervention, Syria would have been bombed into oblivion by "America and the Gang".

Syrians set out to protest / remove a dictator in 2011, but ended up totally destroying their country.

That's FREEDOM...dropped from the sky...from America planes...with love.

I thank God for Russia.

Without RUSSIA, this world would become a playground for the warmongering "Freedom Bringers" from the West.

But Russia can't do it all alone. The Chinese are not ready to weigh in, despite suffering their own antagonism from the West. The Indians are too busy sitting on the fence.

Ever wondered why they keep imposing sanctions on Russia for no just reason?

Putin is badly spoiling their plans.

America and Europe are very angry with Russia because of this.
Oga na Putin airstrike destroy that city pass,some month ago Russia even bombed a UN Aid convoy and killed people

All thanks to obama nd hell-ary

How the Syria conflict take be Obama or Hillary wahala? Didn't Obama try to broker peace early on when the conflict started? When Bashir Al-Assad killed innocent unarmed protesters, where you blind? When the people demanded he step down for a true democracy to be born and he responded with military might, were you deaf? When he rebuffed Obama's peace effort because he had the support of Putin and Iran, were you mentally challenged? When Russia and Iran gave full military assistance to Syrian government, thus complicating the UN-US Peace effort, where were you? All the humanitarian crisis, war crimes, destruction, na Hillary or Obama cause am? Where you blind when the US refused the rebels' plea to send heavy artillery and troops to help them in the conflict just as Iran and Russia did for Al-Assad, thus preventing any form of escalation? May you receive sense indeed!

I have to quote you because, so far, you're one of the few people making sense here. A lot of folks don't understand how propaganda works, and what reality is all about. People just easily fall for the crap they hear from MSM which are deeply under control and manipulation. The greatest wars fought today are the once in the media-the quickest and most effective avenue to conquer the will of people by first obfuscating their mindsets, reshaping their mental disposition, warping their beliefs and then completely obliterating their sense of factual reasoning and logical perception. This is what is called Total Brainwashing by the most Intense and formidable tool of mind control -- MEDIA PROPAGANDA!


So, its a good thing that you are educating some of the victims down here. Otherwise, many people will continue to hail the United States of Abomination, Abomicity and Abomilocal government for all the hell-havoc it has committed in the name of airdropping freedom from the skies-spreading demo-crazy, forgetting that even the US is not a democracy to begin with.

Therefore, keep up the good work, brother. People must be liberated from western institute of delusive propaganda.

Americans should be the ones to adhere to this admonition ,they ve caused more wars than peace, from being the first to remove a democratically elected president of Panama in the person of Noriega in the 90's to instigating unrests in other nations. Bt among those two accusations,the one that easily takes the icing on the cake was the jailing of a democratically elected president,he was jailed for drug running and he's still in jail Where,how had we seen a thing like that?It was unheard of before the U S did, they always pass the message of "Might being right".

He was abducted in a most bizarre manner with total disregard for extant laws and principles guiding inter- nations' relationships with one another and taken to the U. S, to face criminal charges. The U. S re always setting bad precedents and wen other rogue countries want to take a cue from them, u see them screaming blue murder.

With the way things re presently, the U. S re more dangerous to world peace that any other nation. Never knew there would come a time wen Russians would be the ones preaching Human Rights to the world....

Religion make people like this dumber and dumber and incites hatred towards other religion. A perfect example is this one I quoted.

Sharia law has nothing to do with the destruction in Syria bros. Blame USA for wanting to overthrow a legitimate government.

Well for those who don't know, the Syrian Army now controls about 99% of Aleppo which is the best news I have heard in a while.

How is Assad's Govt a legitimate govt? Was he voted into power or because he snatched power a long time ago he has now become legitimate over time? Smetyms war is d only option 2 real peace. & yes religion has 2 be involved because most of d rebels & residents of aleppo r Shia Muslims while assad & ISIL r sunni
N/B- it's Eastern Aleppo dats 99% under govt control not d whole of Aleppo. U are informed

Wat kind of nonsense R u tukin? Noriega was a military dictator of Panama & was neva democratically elected. He was also a confirmed drug trafficker dat even d CIA knew but cos he worked 4 dem @ a time he was untouchable Untill his cup was filled. I agree dat d US has soiled it's hands in many conflicts like Vietnam War & Korean War, but usin noriega as an example is totally off-d-point & ridiculous.

Nor mind them, they re rogues. It might interest u to know that a very similar example of Syria's case was exactly Wat happened in Bahrain during the Arab spring movement.The only difference is that Assad is an Alawite, which is a sub-sect of the shite group of Islam in a majorly Sunni country and this is clearly y Saudi Arabia, a Sunni country wants Assad out by any means.

On the other hand, Bahrain is majorly Shite with a Sunni minority in power with Saudi Arabia and the U. S. A supporting them.If the U. S re really about democracy, wat did they do wen the Bahraini issue came up? the people of Bahrain were agitating that the AL Khalifa dynasty which has been in power for the past 200+ years to step down so that elections can hold, bt the dynasty wants none of that and the citizens were mowed down with armoured tanks supplied by Germany and Saudi Arabia,which in its self is a war crime,and expectedlythe almighty U.S.A turned a blind eye to all these atrocities because the largest of all their bases in the Middle East is in Bahrain, they even went ahead to organise a formula 1 event in the heat of the crises to create a false impression that all was well the country.

Those in support of the U. S. A re either too dumb to accept that uncle Sam is the biggest evil and threat to world peace or they re clearly in a self-denial mode.

It is ironical that Russia which ve been accused of being a threat to world peace re now the ones preaching peace and the need to do things with respect to laid down procedures and guidelines so that a bad precedent is not set.

The subtle invasion. of Syria by Uncle Sam is one too many, before then we had Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan invasions with Iran to follow suit before things were sorted out,nir forgetting also that most Regimes change in the continent of southern America were orchestrated by Uncle Sam like the one that happened in Brazil very recently and in sharp contrast how many countries ve Russia invaded?

America re always at the fore front of the concept of "Might Is Right".....With the Philippines president,Maduro suddenly seeing the "light" and insulting Obama of being the child of a LovePeddler,who does that before now to dare insult a sitting American president?,with Russia's defiance over Syria, expect more countries to dare America and align with Russia because the log of wood in their eyes is falling off gradually.

A lot more of Americans re unaware of the dubious dealings of Uncle Sam, they re fed with lies by the main stream media which propagates only those things they want the citizens to know, everything is shrouded in secrecy. America is gradually turning into a quasi - police state with all their swank of being the most democratic nation on earth.......

Buyeradvertcom:
The battle of Aleppo is slowly drawing to a close after almost four and a half years of brutal fighting. A ceasefire agreement was recently reached allowing people to leave besieged areas of the city and travel to rebel-held areas in Idlib province, and pro-government forces, who have taken nearly all rebel-held districts in the city, are in the process of evacuating civilians and rebel fighters.

Over 30,000 people are reported to have died since fighting began in 2012, and another 20,000 are thought to have been displaced from Syria's biggest city. Once a popular tourist destination, and famed for its spectacular white marble, Aleppo now lies in ruins. Much of the city's ancient heritage has been damaged, including the Great Mosque, which was built in the 8th century, and the citadel of Aleppo, considered to be one of the largest and oldest castles in the world.

The battle might be coming to an end, but some of the damage will never be mended. Take a look at some of these heartbreaking before and after pictures to see the scale of devastation for yourself.

Pls those glamouring for war in Nigeria, ipob members, OPC, Arewa come and see these pictures and grow a brain
