Meanwhile in Iraq & Syria

>-- A senior U.S. official says the United States has concluded that Russia knew in advance of Syria's chemical weapons attack last week.

>The official says a Russian-operated drone flew over a hospital in Syria as victims of the attack were rushing to get treatment.

>Hours after the drone left, a Russian-made fighter jet bombed the hospital in what American officials believe was an attempt to cover up the usage of chemical weapons.

I always love "russian-made" bit... Like the Ukraine MH17 incident being by a "russian-made" BUC missile... Except of course the only side that verifiably had those was the government military (and it was out of range of the Russian border).

How come the attacks in Yemen by the Saudi air force are never referred to as "a bombing by a US-made fighter jet"??

And why bother anyways, everyone knows who makes F-15s, or MIG fighters, or whatnot... If you know enough to say its "Russian made" or "US made", you probably already know what type of plane... Why not just say "bombed by an F15 fighter" or "bombed by an Su35"?

Although, TBH, it might be refreshing to hear "a school in Yemen today was bombed by US-made missiles carried by a US-made fighter jet, killing 47 young children and their teachers".

You're assuming they think we know what a su35 is.

This doesn't make sense... better bomb it to make sure.

We know Russia is behind it, this random guy we found on the street said so and you should believe him

How do I purchase a slave?

Weren't we told slaves aren't an issue any more, unless it's the US, and it's "history"?

If we start to seriously intervene in Syria, the amount of migrants will go up exponentially in Europe. That might be the silver lining of a US-Syria adventure. The sheer number of migrants might ratchet up the resentment and become the catalyst for an EU break-up.

Aside from letting in rapists, what else does
Merkel do? Is she well like by Germans? I had a German teacher in college, and I asked her what Merkel is known for, and she could not give me a good answer. She seems to be the darling of reddit and John Oliver types, but when I see her speak she comes off like a dull nomenklatura hag that would have fit right into an Eastern bloc country in the late 70s.
