Earlier this month, al-Qaeda overran the Abu Alduhur airbase in the northern Idlib Province of Syria, killing over 100 Syrian troops in the battle and capturing scores. This weekend, they executed the captured en masse, with a confirmed 56 additional troops killed.
Syrian state media had previously claimed that there were no captured troops, and that everyone managed to safely evacuate, though as usual there was ample evidence that many troops were indeed caught trying to flee the base.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights indeed suggested no Syrian troops actually got out of the base in an “orderly” manner, and that everyone who was at Abu Alduhur was either killed in the offensive, captured by al-Qaeda, or is simply missing and unaccounted for.
Al-Qaeda’s Nusra Front has been gaining a lot of territory in recent months, and controls virtually the whole Idlib Province, with the exception of a pair of Alawite villages which they’ve appeared to leave alone since the Syrian military fled, leaving them under the protection of Shi’ite militias.
Executing and torturing ones prisoners does not raise more than a bored yawn if the prisoners are of brown or black pigmented skins, but let a lack of pigments white eurocentric be treated in those ways , and torture and muder are terrible crimes.
Well except by US military who will murder any human no matter their skin color.
Today we have no rules of warfare, when it is corporate inspired only the greed matters, the greater the greed the less compunction over the taking of iinessential human lives.
The US itself removed the terms overseeing civilized warfare and humane treatment of conquered peoples; how they did this was by eliminating citizen soldiers and cultivating a Warrior Ethos.
That ethos is now is daily inprinted upon a child from birth until death.
Acitizen soldier once had an ideal of a compassionate nation with freefoms and librrt’s that all share from birth, todays reality is Warriors Glory in the Gore Fu… any humanity bs.
Who needs Rules when you got the guns and after all your martyrs demandbretribution , do you hear them calling From Elyseum or Hallsnof Vallhala?
That Russian help can't come soon enough.
When the Nazis were guilty of executing Polish soldiers, they kept it a secret. It was that outrageous a crime. What exactly has changed? We're on the verge of taking this as some kind of new normal. This is simply degenerate.
