Have you ever seen parachute rockets and their explosions when they fall on civilian homes ?
These are some videos of Russian and Assad warplanes using parachute rockets.

Since 2015 until today, Russia and Assad have tried all their types of weapons on the Syrian people. The video is from the archive of the Syrian revolution.
Note: Syrian civilians are still being bombed in the same way to this day.

Expose Russia and Assad's crimes to the entire world. Don't stop talk about Syria.

Russia is a terrorist state

A devastating and tragic day in NW #Syria, as families mourn a horrific massacre by Russian forces on the Ahl Sarqeb camp in the western countryside of #Idlib killing 5 civilians, including 3 women and 2 children, and injuring 5 others, including an infant and two children.

At the Mearsheimer event in Brisbane Australia, I asked John Mearsheimer why anybody should ever listen to him about Ukraine ever again considering he has been wrong about Ukraine every single time and now quotes Russian military bloggers like “Big Serge,” he just dodged response and claimed he has been proven correct in Ukraine because Ukraine is still suffering against Russia.

I’ll try get video up as soon as I get a hold of it.

Text of my full question:

In your infamous 2015 University of Chicago lecture, you dismissed the idea that Russia would ever try to ‘’conquer Ukraine’’ — arguing ‘’Putin is much too smart for that.’’

Then, in the lead up to the 2022 invasion, you argued, and I quote you word for word: ‘’What the Russians are going to do is CRUSH the Ukrainians. They’re going to bring out the big guns. They’re going to turn places like Kyiv and other cities in Ukraine into rubble. It will be like Fallujah, Mosul, Grozny.’’ You argued Western intervention would be pointless because Russia would level Ukraine and go nuclear against the West.

Then, in an interview with Chinese Communist Party controlled media outlet CGTN on February 23rd this year, you said, and again, I quote you word for word: ‘’Conventional wisdom in the West has long been that Vladimir Putin was an imperialist and he was determined to conquer Ukraine and make it part of a Greater Russia. There is NO evidence to support that.’’

So first, we were told that Russia and Putin will NEVER try conquer Ukraine.

Then you told us that Russia will CRUSH the Ukrainians.

Then, when Russia invades but fails to take Kyiv, you argue there is NO evidence Russia ever wanted to conquer Ukraine.

Your claim that there is NO evidence for that Putin is an imperialist completely beggars belief.

ONE, Putin claims Ukraine is not a country and has never existed as a country. He openly compares himself to Peter the Great while musing on territorial conquest. Here is a Putin quote: ‘’What was Peter doing? Taking back and reinforcing. That’s what he did. And it looks like it fell on us to take back and reinforce as well.’’ And while he muses about taking back Russian land, Russian military recruitment ads show Russian soldiers talking about the flats they will buy and occupy in Kyiv and Odessa.

TWO, Russian forces have systematically executed all Ukrainian cultural and civic leaders in every Ukrainian town that they have occupied. They leave behind mass graves, torture chambers and death pits.

THREE, Putin was indicted by the International Criminal Court for forcibly transferring hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian children to Russia to be raised as Russian. Some three million Ukrainians have been deported to Russia, this is an act of genocide, an attempt to wipe out Ukraine as a nation and incorporate its children into Russia. For comparison: Nazi Germany deported about 200,000 Polish children for assimilation during the entire Second World War.

FOUR, Russia targets civilian energy infrastructure in Ukraine with the goal of making the country uninhabitable and ungovernable. They spent months last year boasting that they would freeze millions of Ukrainians to death.

So, my question. John, You have been wrong over and over and over again on Ukraine, blatantly wrong. You hang out with Victor Orban and quote crazy sleazy Russian military bloggers named “BIG SERGE” in your writings.
You’ve claimed to the New Yorker that Putin has never lied to other world leaders, you even said that Hitler only ever lied once or twice to other world leaders? You’ve burnt your credibility, why should we take anything you say seriously ever again?

[Masih Alinejad @AlinejadMasih]

Armita Garavand, a young Iranian girl assaulted by the morality police for refusing to wear the mandatory hijab, has been declared brain dead.

It seems the Islamic regime, having observed the public’s reaction to the tragic murder of Jina Mahsa Amini, has learned to manage public sentiment. That’s why the Iranian regime’s media outlets announced the news after days of uncertainty, during which her family was not even permitted to know about their daughter’s situation.

This regime excels at suppressing and killing women, all while negotiating and forging ties with Western politicians. How many more innocent girls need to perish before Western countries realize that this regime is irredeemable? This is the very regime that not only oppresses its citizens but also instigates unrest in Ukraine, Israel, Iraq, and Syria. After decades of atrocities by this totalitarian Islamic regime, the world must finally take a stand and hold them accountable.

UEFA has decided to end its ban on Russian teams by allowing the country’s under-17 sides into its competitions, using the justification that children should not be punished for the actions of adults. Today's cartoon by@KarikaturaLv. More cartoons: https://t.co/Oj6r8LQzys

The list of “international observers” who came to occupied #Ukraine to enable the occupation & genocide.

These aren’t “useful idiots”. These are vultures feeding on Ukraine’s suffering.

Já via na união soviética, vê em Cuba, na Coreia do Norte. O colaboracionismo do PCP com sanguinárias ditaduras não tem limite. O PCP quer apenas que a Rússia ganhe a guerra e a Ucrânia seja dizimada. Saudações a quem se passeou na festa do Avante https://t.co/XNjOdyZGnO

Wishing the families of the victims to have justice! Sarin gas was used by Assad 10 years ago on this day.
More 2000 civilians died.
That should have been enough to end Assad's impunity in a normal world.
We are with you and we don't forget. 🙏❤️
I hope that a bomb fall on Assad's palace soon .

On this day in 2008 russia invaded Georgia.
Under the same pretense with the same methods. This uninterrupted streak has to end

[Nedal Al-Amari 🇸🇾 @nedalalamari]

Russian warplanes is targeting civilian homes in the countryside of Idlib, northwest Syria. There has been complete international silence about Russia's actions against the Syrian people for the past 11 years. When should the world take action against Russia's Nazi ?

Ukrainian fencer Olha Kharlan was disqualified from the World Championship for refusing to shake hands with the Russian fencer after the match. It is so hypocritical to demand a handshake from citizens of a terrorist country. Shame on you @FIE_fencing 😓

🚨Russian media reports German sportswear brand Adidas will restart operations in Russia from November 1st. If this information is true, here's a perfect logo for them. They broke off ties with Kanye West over stuff he said, but actual fascist genocide is apparently just fine.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

The man-made disaster at the Kakhovka hydroelectric power plant is not a natural disaster or a manifestation of the climate crisis. This disaster is Putin. I said this during an address to global eco-activists, opinion leaders and international experts @margotwallstrom, @HeidiHautala, @GretaThunberg, @LaurenceTubiana and many others who participated in our meeting. I am grateful to each and every one of you for your concern and sincere desire to help. Ecocide is a threat to everyone.

For that reason, under the OPU auspices we have established a high-level international working group on environmental crimes of Russia. This Group will consolidate the efforts of the world to bring Russia to responsibility for ecocide in Ukraine.

The number of ecosystems that have been destroyed or pushed to the brink of extinction by this latest Russian terrorist act is already measured in thousands.

All this we have faced is a deliberate crime of the occupier. There are many questions about what happened. But it happened in the occupied territory. But last year we warned about the occupiers mining the dam and other structures of the plant. But Russian troops are now shelling the areas where the evacuation is underway. Obviously, it is Russia that is interested in the disaster.

Please spread the truth about this Russian ecocide. Please urge leaders, states and international organizations to act. It is no coincidence that one of the key points in our proposed Peace Formula is to combat ecocide. Please, let's work together to make sure that there are no more ecocides.
