    Well that kind of says it all really.

    The real flood of refugees started when Assad (well Putin really) was bombing around Damascus and Aleppo and destroyed critical infrastructure like water supplies, electricity and hospitals.

    It seems the Western attitude to Syria is the same as that towards HK. Perpetually sulking, because they couldn't get their way.

    Gloating about murderers getting away with war crimes sums you up perfectly.

    I think you might have your time table a little bit confused

    "Shortly after the civil war broke out in 2011, the U.S. initially supplied the rebels of the Free Syrian Army "

    "$1 billion covert program called Timber Sycamore conducted by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) aimed at fighting Syrian President Bashar al-Assad was more successful, but was decimated by Russian bombing, and canceled in mid-2017 by the Trump administration."
    American-led intervention in the Syrian civil war - Wikipedia

    I am sure you are familiar with the term Agent provocateur .
    The sooner you fall behind, the more time you have to catch up.

    I'm going to recommend that you actually read the link you posted:

    Date 22 September 2014 – present
    (8 years, 4 months and 6 days)


    And the program to which you refer started in 2013.

    President Barack Obama secretly authorized the CIA to begin arming Syria's embattled rebels in 2013
    i.e. Two years after Assad started his war on the Syrian people.

    Don't try and pass off selected lines of text as if they come from the link you've provided.

    It is deceptive and pointless.
    The next post may be brought to you by my little bitch Spamdreth

    Did you read the part where the russians came into this conflict 2015? where the US became involved in
    2011.
    Coincidently the year the Syrian refugee problem started.

    Russia was always in Syria providing political and military aid. Putin wanted to keep his base at Tartus.

    What he did in 2015 was add more troops and equipment.

    He's been supporting Assad since day one.

    If you didn't know what a disgusting piece of subhuman scum Assad is, you do now.

    Assad bombs rebel-held Syrian town 'immediately' after earthquake

    The Syrian government bombed an opposition-held area of the country in the immediate aftermath of the earthquake, according to the UK government.
    President Bashar al-Assad launched a "truly callous and heinous attack" on Marea, a town in northwestern Syria affected by the earthquake, said MP Alicia Kearns, who chairs the Foreign Affairs Committee.
    Foreign Secretary James Cleverly criticised the Assad regime for the "completely unacceptable bombing".
    Mr Cleverly said: "[Ms Kearns] is absolutely right to highlight the completely unacceptable bombing of areas in the immediate aftermath of this natural disaster.
    "Sadly it speaks to a long-standing pattern of behaviour by the Assad regime, a regime that we condemn, have sanctioned and will continue to bring about sanctions - working with our international friends and partners - to try and prevent behaviour like this occurring again."
    Much of Syria has been ravaged by years of civil war and contested control of territories near the border with Turkey.
