The Western media seizes every chance to twist the truth in favor of another round of Putin bashing as its worn out flimsy excuse to escalate further hostilities against Moscow in order to trigger World War III. The pathological liars of the West never fail to deceitfully add fuel to their propaganda war machine fire. The latest hype is blaming a Russian airstrike for destroying a school in the rebel held Idlib Province in northern Syria,
killing 22 children and six teachers.
Immediately the UN, being the imperial vehicle it is, through its Children's Fund (UNICEF) - for added sensational effect, no less - began opportunistically milking the tragedy for all it's worth, denouncing the killing as
"an outrage" and probable war crime, adding that it's the deadliest attack on a school in the near six year Syrian conflict. What's being left out of this heavily biased narrative is that the war in Syria was maliciously started by the United States, specifically the CIA funding protests in 2011 (actually as
far back as 2005) targeting Assad as part of its infamous Arab Spring uprising in accordance with Empire's illegal
regime change policy. As an independent, secular leader unwilling to succumb to Empire's pressure to allow a 2009 proposed
Qatar gas pipeline to Europe be built through his country, the fixated neocons have been gunning for Assad's removal ever since.
Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Major General
Igor Konashenkov explained that after closer examination and careful analysis, the video released to Western media allegedly depicting the airstrike in Idlib Province consists of more than
ten separate pieces of footage fragmented together. Thus, it appears to be a hoax designed to incriminate the Russian aerospace group for killing innocent kids. He added:
As one can see on a photo from the Russian drone, the roof of the school is not damaged and there are no bomb craters in the area adjacent to the school... All this means that the UNICEF leadership fell victim to a new deception of swindlers in White Helmets. That is why, before making loud statements, UNICEF officials should check sources of their information in order not to undermine the reputation of a respected organization.
