While US “outrage” at civilian casualties from Syrian airstrikes is being used as a pretext for military intervention against the Syrian government, US forces continue their own airstrikes backing military operations in northeastern Syria, and are killing an increasing number of civilians in their own right.
Today, US airstrikes near Raqqa killed at least 21 people, mostly civilians, and while some of the strikes were near fighting between US-backed troops and ISIS, at least one of the strikkes appears to have been a deliberate attack on a boatload of civilians attempting to cross the Euphrates River.
The boat was carrying about 40 people, and NGOs say that at least seven bodies, six of them children, have been recovered so far, with more missing. The US has dropped leaflets in the area urging civilians to flee toward the Euphrates, but apparently dropped a second leaflet warning them not to try to cross the river or they’d be attacked.
The airstrikes centered around the village of Hanida, which is along the Euphrates River west of Raqqa. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported a number of additional civilians killed in US strikes on the village. That the US is attacking the village is puzzling, because ISIS is not believed to have any presence in the village itself, and it appears to be at least some distance from the fight.
The biggest target in the Hanida strikes was an Internet cafe, with the US strikke destroying the site, killing 14 people within, including four children. The US is so far not offering any justification for any of the attacks in the area.

Your constitution is a useless outdated piece of sh-t. The only use Americans can think of putting it to is deny it’s citizens the rights other countries take for granted.
Anybody who thinks it can be summoned up to slow down your country’s war progress has their head up their fat american as-hole.
And what “rights” and what countries……..?
It’s not outsdated they keep changing it but we should leave it alone a use it the way it was written God inspired our forefathers to write it .
How did he do that he did not need to tell congress about one attack u r misinformed u must be watching fake news look it up under the constitution
The USA never needs an excuse to kill people.
Its killed millions post WW2.
And it will kill billions if it persists in forcing WW3 on the planet.
Donald Trump now joins a long list of war criminals as does Theresa May in Britain.
The US is a powerless zombie controlled by Zionists.
How many guns are floating around.
If there is one people with power its Americans.
They just don’t have the guts to do it.
Yes Americans are the most armed population but they are also the most ignorant, manipulated and divided. We don’t know how to live without corporate food, energy, health care, and communications. Nothing will be done. Americans will choose the playoffs over revolution every time. If push comes to shove we are more likely to shoot each other than our real enemies.
Ha ha – doesn’t take long for someone to start blaming the “Zionists”. Yes, the all-powerful Jews…I mean Zionists…moving all nations around like chess pieces! I guess Saudi Arabia – which is dedicated to the destruction of Assad – has nothing to do with this. Just a helpful coalition partner.
“The US has dropped leaflets in the area urging civilians to flee toward the Euphrates”
Not their problem
Why don’t you finish the story.
When they fled across the river the USA bombed them and killed them
Including many children.

Report that National Security Adviser McMaster and retired General Petraeus have drawn up a plan for America to
invade Syria with 150,000 troops.
https://medium.com/@Cernovich/h-r-mcmaster-manipulating-intelligence-reports-to-trump-wants-150-000-ground-soldiers-in-syria-83346c433e99
Read the article, and I really, really hope that this is BS.
They haven’t got them unless they get Mexicans.
America won’t use Mexicans in the Middle East.
They’ll use the troops of NATO.
150,000 hanging about – spare.
Brits have no military left hardly – about 3 planes and a McBoaty.
Don’t worry.
If worse comes to worse the US will restore the draft.
All young men at age 18 have to register for the draft and it’s a small matter to start drafting them.
America always knows how to dragoon cannon fodder.

Boy oh boy!!
That WILL start the anti war protests.
Middle class mommy’s boys and daddies princesses being drafted – it won’t just be the peasants.
They will wake up to the real world.
Snowflakes won’t like it one bit.
It took 2 or 3 years before an anti-war movement started over the Vietnam War and then it took another 4 or 5 years to pull out of Vietnam.
And that was when everyone, even the elite, admitted that the Vietnam War was unwinnable.
In light of recent events here is a short story by Mark Twin titled “The War Prayer.”
It is well worth reading.
From antiwar.

The US doesn’t even have one of the political parties to put the brakes on war now.
No influence inside the US is going to help stop it now. The world will depend on Russia and China to play their part in the new cold war. That’s if, it can be prevented from becoming a hot war.
The American people can, if they strongly stand up.
There will be no war I trust in my God in heaven everything trump has done was for a reason are intelligence community told him about the gas they r the most smartest in the world and Maddog . Isiash 45 trump clashing of the swords it the year 5777 trump was in office 77 days thus is important to recognize what’s really going on .
Karen, Your god in heaven is going to punish your country for starting wars of aggression throughout the world. About 40 US wars since WW2 alone. He’s going to reign fire down upon you and your children because you support those wars. Radioactive fire, for it is written Karen. The attack on Syria marks day 1 and 76 days from now you will perish in hell fires.
Don’t engage the religious. They have no facts to discuss.
They’re running their country. Or should it be they’re destroying their country as they patiently wait for the prophecy on end times. Fu–ing sickos!
Oh, and Karen, for being an ignorant hillbilly who uses the word ‘are’ in place of the word ‘our’, you are going to strengthen the gene pool when you fry!
Everything happens for a reason this wasn’t by accident but u r of the natural u need spiritual eyes to see . Trump is going to be one of the greatest presidents ever watch & learn
The Bible speaks of what’s going on it’s a map to our future . But u don’t believe that’s u r lose for my Jesus is coming and I am going home
You’re pulling my leg aren’t you!
I can hardly wait! You use the Old Testament like Ouiji board.
Karen, you need to know that I am Satan and my mission is to destroy Trump before he saves the world for jesus.
There won’t be a war Russia want to get along with us he wants to make Russia great again u ain’t been keeping up with the news tillerson is going to Russia Wednesday
Yesterday the USS Carl Vinson battle group, including a Nimitz class aircraft carrier and three guided missile destroyers was diverted from Singaporeto a station off the North Korean coast. I expect North Korea will be attacked this week. We are seeing the emergence of the “Trump Doctrine” which will be based on intimidation through launching unilateral unprovoked attacks on foreign countries. The intent appears to be to inflict minor damage with the implicit threat of escalation to achieve Trump’s foreign policy goals. This amounts to permanent institutionalized international terrorism. In Trump’s delusional world he believes that no one will dare retaliate against the US because we have the strongest military. However, countries like Syria, North Korea, Iran, Russia and China have the capacity to retaliate in ways that would make 911 seem like a garden party. And Trump, who has never had to face consequences for his own mistakes, has no understanding of the law of blowback. Trump is provoking a response that could lead to major conflict and possibly world war. We cannot survive or endure four more years of this madness,
Wait a minute so we should just sit back and let korea push our buttons threaten us wow u should like obama that’s not how America rolls we have always stood tall but for 8 yrs. we were looked like a joke bowing down to imams ….. trump was sent by God he will make America great Again it’s the 5777 year and trump was in office 77 days the clashing of the swords isiash 45 read it
I greatly fear that your faith and confidence Karen, is representative of far too many Americans.
But it’s worth hearing because it also represents a building fear in the minds of Americans.
There is no god to save you Karen. You are all now at the mercy of your psychopath president.
Now I know what school you went to—the School of Premillenial Dispensationalism.
Isaiah of Jerusalem was a counselor to kings. During his time there were two major crises—the war with Syria and the Assyrian threats. Isaiah saw those events as God’s rule over the nations. Already happened. Try reading the New Testament.
Ok let’s relate him to heziakaih
???
You are truly an evil Christian. I almost wish there was a hell so you could burn in it’s fires. Sadly, you won’t and you will live to spread your kind of hate for your lifetime.
An attack on NK seems unlikely, although it’s been reported that the US has hacked their computers and their missiles.
I’m pretty sure, if Trump mentioned the notion to the President of China, he was told where he could insert his aircaft carrier – in a friendly fashion of course.
America ‘plans to chart its own course’ in east Asia. So does China.
If u believe this ur stupid on the 4/7 it was 7 now it more which one is its sounds fishy to me
Remember when we talked about Trump’s problem of being a corporate psychopath? And remember when I told a lot of you people the dangers of having a psychopath in control? Remember when I told you that a psychopath knows no fear and will not be defeated on carrying out his will.
Now we are entering an extremely dangerous time because Russia has said that they will strike back if this kind of attack on Syria’s government happens again.
“The US has dropped leaflets in the area urging civilians to flee toward the Euphrates.”
Flee then
What happened to the 36 Tomahawk missiles that didn’t hit the Syrian airbase? Raytheon’s stock got a boost after Trump’s attack but only 23 out of 59 actually hit the Syrian airbase. Did they hit another target or, what should worry the Pentagon, did the Russian anti-missile technology eliminate the 36?
At least they weren’t gassed. Allied bombing is 100 percent humanitarian. If civilians were killed, it was an accident, we’re sorry and they shouldn’t have been running around in a war zone. Which makes us different from them.
It’s not often I get a chance to say it but this is the perfect time Mikronos.
Civilians are deliberately standing under US bombs.
You’re a very scary fu–er Mikronos, in that you are most likely quite representative of the American people.
