The Syrian Conflict Thread

I distinctly recall us both discussing it in the Ukraine thread, you can pretend we didn't if you like, I don't care enough to go digging through an old thread just so you can ignore the evidence (or lack thereof as it were) ad infinitum, yet again.

Im not saying we didnt, what im saying is im not going through a thread with nearly 8000 posts to guess what you're referring to.
 
Go find the detail in the Ukraine Crisis thread where it has been debated to death, no need to repeat the exercise here surely.

Short summary: bellingcat's so called "evidence" linking Russia to MH17 relies entirely on old satellite pics of a rebel base with BUK launchers in it, then not there, then back again. Because, you know, having and moving a launcher is irrefutable proof of what you did with it ... :whistle:

Is been a while so my memory is hazy, but what did the official Dutch investigation conclude?
 
Silly me, didn't realize I'm dealing with a hopeless Obama / USA apologist. As you were ;)

Silly indeed. If you missed it ...maybe.... the idiot obama is long gone. Its now Trump in charge so wisen up a bit, just a bit, else you may come over as being a fool.

PS: This is the Syrian thread so get back on topic or get lost.

I'm perfectly on topic, not my fault you can't see the connection between a news source that lied about X possibly also lying about Y, if X = Ukraine and Y = Syria.

Or in fact that president X caused and perpetuated the Syrian crises and president Y was dumb enough to get suckered into doing the same less than 100 days into his reign. I'll let you decide who X and Y is this time around ;)

I seriously doubt you don't remember that ;)
Unless my memory is even more hazy than yours, didn't you also have a healthy level of skepticism w.r.t. the official report? The conclusion of course was the same as what 'Murica said it would be 5 milliseconds after the event
/surprise
 
Granted, Sputnik plays loose and fast with the facts at times, but if you see another chemical attack in the next week, you heard it here first :D

A false flag fake chemical attack against civilians has recently been filmed by al-Jazeera stringers in Syria, and it was ordered from a European country, a military and diplomatic source revealed on Thursday.

"The "effectiveness" of the White Helmets' TV-spectacle of accusing Syrian authorities of attacking civilians in Khan Shaykhun with sarin inspired terrorists to continue filming the fake 'series'. According to info confirmed via several channels, al-Jazeera television channel stringers have recently filmed a staged, fake scene of an alleged chemical attack against civilians by the Syrian Army," the source told Sputnik.

The source said around 30 fire engines and ambulances, as well as 70 local residents with children transported from a refugee camp were used in the filming across three locations in Idlib province, including Jisr Shughur.

"A multiple simultaneous uploading of filmed fake footage with 'screaming' social media comments was due to take place in the next few days (by Sunday) at the separate command of a mastermind and sponsor of the film in one of the European countries," he added.

There are some troubling tweets showing photos of faked dead or seriously injured in the tweets below the one you've linked to.

I would be wary of looking at pictures and assuming that's the way things panned out, there is room for both sides to fake things. Tweets aren't good for f2wolf according to you, so lets remain consistent there.

I was referring to the tweet showing the "dead" child from the sarin attack and then the photo of him/her still with mortuary mark on forehead sitting eating crisps and the man supposedly being rescued after being crushed under rubble and then standing posing with the rescuers in a 4th photo, with no injuries.

Link to tweet? Are you certain these marks are mortuary marks and not just marks for the wounded? Quite common in war to give marks to the wounded to identify their injuries for later treatment.
 
As for fake news narrow and his schitty source, they had to come out with this now in the link.

Correction: the previous version of this article citing the same military and diplomatic source said that the filming was conducted by television channel Al-Jazeera's group of stringers. After a rigorous check, this information was not confirmed by other sources. The agency cannot consider this information credible and tenders apologies to its readers and subscribers.

You would think they would "rigourously check" the information before posting an article but i suppose its all about that propaganda.

I'll see if I can find it, I've shut the browser window.
