JOHN CHUCKMAN COMMENT: AMERICAN PROPAGANDA ABOUT INACCURATE RUSSIAN BOMBING IN SYRIA - DAVID CAMERON LOOKING SILLIER THAN EVER


COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE IN THE GUARDIAN


You should be ashamed of yourself publishing such American propaganda.

The Russians are doing as careful a job as it is possible to do, and they are, unlike the United States, shooting at the true villains.

Russian intelligent missiles and bombs have proved highly effective, and Russia's scrupulous effort to double-check targets has been well done.

These claims of civilian deaths you have published are just part of a stream of nonsense we’ve seen flowing from the Pentagon, reflecting their suppressed fury over Putin's success.

Russia's effectiveness speaks for itself. The Syrian Army has the upper hand again. Turkey - a major terrorist - is licking its wounds and America’s rear-end more than ever.

Recent success in Iraq by the Iraqis fighting ISIS also owes a considerable debt to the Russian effort, even though American and American-oriented news sources never say so.

Russia's record for scrupulous effort shines compared to that of the United States in its many blitzes against not terrorism but governments which behave with any independence, often bombing things like hospitals and schools, often using carpet bombing, cluster bombs, and incendiary materials like white phosphorus.

And look at the horrors of Yemen brought to you by David Cameron's good friend, the insane King of Saudi Arabia.

Or how about the deliberate bombing by Israel, another David Cameron friend, in Gaza, slaughtering 2,200 people? The Guardian never dwells on that. Never publishes a photo. And there's plenty to photograph since Israel won't even allow Gaza to import cement to repair homes, schools, and public sanitation.

By the way, after all the pompous posing and name-calling by David Cameron in the bombing debate, it has been noticed that new Russian air defences have pretty well turned off the British effort quietly.


David looks sillier than ever.
