Russia calls U.S. move to supply Syria rebels weapons a hostile act: RIA

it would make no sense to talk about tactical bombing now comparing arsenals because you seem to be of the opinion that targeting civilians is Russian goal and not the result of accidents. So it appears according to you that no matter what the Russians use they want to kill civilians anyway.

They don't bomb some specific targets

what?, what are they bombing then?, random places? what would they get by wasting thousands of dollars by randomly bombing stuff, and why has this random bombing resulted in victory for Assad in Aleppo? and why were there people evacuated after the battle there should've been none left?

SAA and RuAF just bomb the shit out of any area they don't control

Remember Fallujah?

90% of the work is being done by Iranian Sepah, Al-Quds Force, and dozens of thousands of shia militias from Iraq, Lebanon, Iran, Afghanistan and others

WHat?

OBVIOUSLY Russia does not have ground troops in Syria, But has committed to a lot of support from the air, and I have to say Assad still holds Syria because of real Russian support not because of the image of Russia. And Russia as a single country has contributed more than any of the single countries of the coalition

Russian air force has been terribly inefficient, not being able to provide even most basic CAS. Literally all their reports on thousands of targets destroyed are made up, as both rebels and ISIS were able to easily advance in the wake of the most vicious SAA/Shia attacks and ""bombings"" by RuAF

man do you have any proof that they are made up?

Rebels advance in the most vicious airstrikes? are you kidding me? Why is Assad still a player then? if this was the case he should have been ousted in 2013.

inefficient? US has an advanced arsenal because they are a wealthier nation, but why are they not doing an excellent job which they are supposed to with all that they have at their disposal.

What has US targeted since the start of their campaign to wipe out ISIS? Because they are still alive and kicking.

the infamous Ghouta chemical attack

UN investigation says Assad was behind it but If all your sources on the ground are the Syrian rebels themselves then would you call it unbiased?

and you think politics are not involved when UN is reporting about Syria? They are ones who let several of their member nations to be thrown to the dogs by US and allies anyway.

I just can't close eyes on that. It is evident that SAA and RuAF have been specifically targeting rear densely populated areas without even trying to hit any specific target

Where is it evident ?...show me something that PROVES Russia specifically targeted civilians if you have any non rebel sources, for everything you can come up with I can show a US equivalent.

and they do this because they are evil?..like cartoon evil with no reason other than to be evil?. What would they even get out of it? is it their hobby or something?

If this was really the case the west would've got their wish long back they would've got their reason to bomb Syria like Libya also their wish of attacking Russia even. Syria and Russia have more to lose doing this.

65% of Syria's population is under Govt control and they chose to stay there, I wonder why Russia and Assad haven't bombed Damascus to rubble since some suburbs are under rebel control. Russia controls the air in western Syria it would be no problem for them.

Why were 300,000 civilians in Aleppo including rebels given a way out without being bombed to hell?

Why was Aleppo besieged and rebels give multiple chances to surrender instead of being bombed without mercy.

I can go on and on.

No one asked you to close your eyes and support Russia but why have you just completely bought that narrative without any questions?

anyway it looks like this conversation can go on. but I would drop off by saying this:

Please don't believe everything your Govt tells you Especially when they are a bit ludicrous. ciao.
