    Drone footage of northern Hama in Syria after its capture by Syrian & Russian forces. It’s been fought over for 7 years. Utterly destroyed and devoid of life.pic.twitter.com/1Md10cLItY

        Does ANNA really glory in the devastation achieved by its paymasters? My only hope is that it's footage can be used as evidence of warcrimes they have committed.

        In the modern age ,it is nearly impossible to cover up war crimes. Assad and his allies carried out their attacks against Syrian civlians in plain view. That makes it even more shameful that our governments did little to stop them.

        Will those poor opressed rebels ever know the joy of setting up public whippings of women sentenced for blasphemy and marriage crime?! Assad is a monster truly

        Makes you wonder: what did they get in the end? Destruction, loss of community and natural resources. But I guess that’s the real point: cruelty and keeping maniacs in power.

        This is human tragedy. It all happened in front of the world watching. Humanity has failed.
