Russian Humanitarian Plan criticised as Attempt to Depopulate Aleppo, Syria

A plan put forward by Russia for 'humanitarian corridors' for the besieged eastern part of Aleppo in Syria is being criticised as an attempt to depopulate Aleppo so that the army of the Syrian regime can capture it.

After extensive criticism, even America has had to admit that the plan may not be sincere. According to Reuters:

The United States is trying to determine whether a Russian plan for a humanitarian operation in Syria is sincere, Secretary of State John Kerry said on Friday, adding that if it proves a "ruse" it could ruin cooperation between Moscow and Washington.

However, according to the same Reuters report, Kerry remains optimistic of agreement on the plan:

"On the other hand, if we’re able to work it out today and have a complete understanding of what is happening and then agreement on the way forward, it could actually open up some possibilities," he added, saying he had spoken with Moscow twice in the past 24 hours to try to clarify what Russian intentions.

All Western war is now war on civilians, not war on combatants. The purpose of war in Syria is not to bring peace but to discipline the Syrian population into obeying the Western-backed Syrian regime.

CIA Head Suggests Division of Syria

Meanwhile, the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency, John Brennan, has suggested that Syria needs to be divided. According to a Reuters report:

"I don't know whether or not Syria can be put back together again," Brennan told the annual Aspen Security Forum. His comments were a rare public acknowledgement by a top U.S. official that Syria may not survive a five-year civil war in its current state.

Despite the division of Islamic land into more than 50 Muslim countries, the West still feels threatened by the larger of these countries and wants to further subdivide them.

US Agency Admits that less than two-thirds of Afghanistan in control of American-backed Afghan regime

According to the latest quarterly report issued by the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR), a US government agency, the Afghan regime lost a further almost 5% of territorial control in the first five months of this year. According to Voice of America:

The agency noted that despite U.S. expenditures of nearly $70 billion to build and sustain the Afghan Defense and National Security Force (ANDSF), the force that is intended to stand on its own by now still needs help and struggles to retain soldiers. "Annually almost one-third of the force is lost to attrition," the agency said.

Afghanistan's Western-backed regime cannot win the support of Muslims, and US expenditure of blood and treasure cannot change this reality.
