The attack on the humanitarian convoy is morally totally unacceptable and it’s a blatant violation of international law; but who is to blame?
USA;
The United States believes Russian warplanes bombed the convoy, stating two Russian Su-24 warplanes were in the air at the time
the US, which backs the rebels, has said its information clearly indicates it was an air strike
That means there only could have been two entities responsible, either the Syrian regime or the Russian government
.
Russia;
Russia states a US Predator drone was flying over the site of the attack for about 30 minutes
it was said the drone took off from Incirlik air base in Turkey, reached the area several minutes before the convoy caught fire and left about 30 minutes later (strange timing).
The Defense Ministry spokesman said he wanted to point out that, as was the case with the tragedy on September 17 which saw US-led coalition airstrike kill and injure 200 people, the Russians would not be making any unfounded allegations
Moscow, however, strongly denied it had played any part in the atrocity, while calling it “another unacceptable provocation from the USA
.
United Nations;
the NATO chief refrained from accusing any side of perpetrating the attack
It’s important to get the facts and to find out how this could happened, but I won’t speculate
.
meanwhile;
Russian aircraft carrier the Admiral Kuznetsov will join the country’s naval group operating in the eastern Mediterranean, the Defense Ministry has announced. Officials say the carrier could be used to aid the anti-terrorist mission in Syria
Syria;
Syria has invited Russian assistance with aircraft, they have NOT invited USA air assistance and yet the USA continue to fly in Syrian airspace.
.
So who is to blame; who is at fault? |

You know it's a particularly western problem to find the "who is to blame" character!.
The Japanese prefer the "let's fix the problem".
.
There's so many fingers in the Syrian pie, I'm afraid it could be one of dozens!.
.
The UN have a problem, they found it out in Yugoslavia, two opposing forces at war and you want to break hostilities while we "feed" "clothe" and "medicate" your enemy.
One side said.... No fucking chance, it's been like that since |

Why do you think it was an air strike rather than ground fire? There is a distinct lack of crators that you would usually associate with an air strike. But I'm sure there are many people much better placed than me to complete a BDA. |

not all air to ground ordnance will necessarily leave a crater..
the whole thing in Syria is shitty, this episode is just another in a long sad list of atrocities.. |

Maybe they were thinking of past glories like Kosovo... You know where American action actually helped bring an end to civilian warfare, before everyone gets the itchy trigger finger for American blame, let's remember the only Muslim country in Europe is Muslim because Americans put their life's on the line! |

A couple of days ago, some six year olds I know were sharing about where their families came from: one from Syria, one from Kurdistan, one from Afghanistan, one from Iran and one from Iraq .... all said they are here because it's too dangerous where they came from and their families are afraid of being killed so they had to leave. Sort of shocking when they say it .... in the meantime, life goes on for these children and their families, currently living in shelters, etc., and seeking normality and safety. |

It's very sad. I'm glad they have found a safe haven here. |

Russia has said it will carry on bombing rebel-held eastern Aleppo in Syria, defying US demands to stop.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Thursday that the Russian air force would continue its support of the Syrian armed forces

And why did they need to leave the Middle East a Muslim territory to cross all of Europe the get to the UK to find safety, what is wrong with the muslin nations where they have a common language and identity |

We got somethin', we both know it, we don't talk too much about it
Ain't no real big secret, all the same, somehow we get around it
Listen, it don't really matter to me baby
You believe what you want to believe, you see
You don't have to live like a refugee
(Don't have to live like a refugee)
Somewhere, somehow, somebody must have kicked you around some
Tell me why you want to lay there, revel in your abandon
Honey, it don't make no difference to me baby
Everybody has to fight to be free, you see
[Chorus:]
You don't have to live like a refugee
(Don't have to live like a refugee)
No baby you don't have to live like a refugee
(Don't have to live like a refugee)
Baby we ain't the first
I'm sure a lot of other lovers been burned
Right now it seems real to you, but it's
One of those things you gotta feel to be true
Somewhere, somehow, somebody must have kicked you around some
Who knows maybe you were kidnapped tied up,
Taken away and held for ransom
Honey, it don't make no difference to me, baby
Everybody has to fight to be free, you see |

So confusing. UK is anti Assad, pro rebel and anti ISIS. Russia is pro government but anti rebel. Is this secretly a Russia and UK war? |

The facts are the Russians act with total impunity bombing indiscriminately civilians and hospitals.
The facts-
A reaper carries Hellfire missiles, which being an anti armour round,with a two small warhead design, would not have done the kind of damage seen.
Cast your minds back to the first Iraq conflict, Saddams column of retreating fighting vehicles hit by smart cluster bombs..
Now look at the UN vehicles, similar damage visible ground damage.
Russia still use cluster bomb weapons, the UK and US do not.
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to work it out. |
