US jets strike Syrian town with banned white phosphorus bombs – Russian Defense Ministry



Two US jets have bombed a town in the Syrian Deir Ez-Zor province with white phosphorus munitions, causing massive fires, Russian military has said.
Two F-15 jets on Saturday bombed the town of Hajin with white phosphorus incendiary munitions, banned under the Geneva Convention, according to the Russian Center for Reconciliation in Syria.

“Following the strikes, large fires were observed in the area,” Lieutenant-General Vladimir Savchenko said Sunday. There’s still no information on casualties caused by the bombing run, he added.

Having withdrawn from any meaningful participation in the processes of international law the US is, it appears, pursuing a path of banditry.

No need to search for international villains. You're it.

Honestly, even with Trump as POTUS, I don't believe it.

If you don't believe our military would do something like that, you haven't been paying attention. At all. They did the exact same thing in Vietnam......

And I'm sure I don't need to remind you this country also dropped atomic bombs on civilian-populated cities in Japan.

The U.S Fed Govt has been committing war crimes for decades. Should be no surprise they continue to do so.

Personally I'll have to wait and see. We do launch bogus wars of aggression, colonial wealth extraction and occupation, we have extracted ourselves from the UN Human Rights Council, we do torture, we do jail whistleblowers, we have endlessly destabilized countries across the globe, we have supplied the Islamist Saudis with internationally illegal cluster bombs known to have a 90% collateral casualty rate in the field, and all save the UN Human Rights Council pullout was well in place before Don.

America’s reliance upon war to float its economic system is utterly bipartisan and deeply entrenched.

They did it in Fallujah, Iraq.

[Fentoine Lum]

They did it in Fallujah, Iraq.

Anything the power structure does to "them" it is fully capable of doing to "us". Empires in decline invariably bring the expansionist miltarism to bear at home as the implosion matures.

[TrippyHippy]

They did it in Fallujah, Iraq.

Yup. That among other chemical weapons as well, like napalm and depleted uranium.

We also encourage israeli fascists to use it on Palestinian civilians.




And Agent Orange is still killing.

In fact, 'Agent Orange ' is a good name for Trump.

U.S. FIGHTING OFF WHITE PHOSPHORUS ALLEGATIONS, AGAIN (UPDATED)


While American and Afghan leaders engage in a bit of kabuki theater over whether U.S. airstrikes will continue (hint: yes), there are fresh accusations over the types of weapons the American military is using. Once again, U.S. forces' incendiary white phosphorus rounds are scorching civilians, human rights groups charge.

I was concentrating on his promotion and use of death drones.
Link to anywhere where you criticized either.

Why use it? It is illegal and a 500lber or a missile would do more damage.
