Over 800,000 Syrians, mostly women and children, flee Russian-backed offensive: U.N./ More Trump Fidelity to PUTIN, at the expense of almost 1 million
We know that Putin is Trump's boss, but this inattention to just under a million potential deaths is over the top. Here are the facts. And this butchery came about as Trump forced the US military out of Syria
The fact is, that a warcrime is a warcrime. If the US does not report or call Putin on it due to Trump, DON'T THINK THAT FOR AN INSTANT the international community will not know of it.
Memo to Trump ; The worlds population is about 20 times that of the United States, dear demented Trump and I can guarantee you that maybe up to half of the world will know something about this massacre in Syria. Just because YOU do not comment on it, that that huge conglomerate of Humanity outside of CONUS and Hawaii and Alaska will not hear of it is inconceivable . They will. Merely ignoring this horror, Trump, will not make it go away.

Over 800,000 Syrians, mostly women and children, flee Russian-backed offensive: U.N.
2 MIN READ
AMMAN (Reuters) - More than 800,000 Syrians, mostly women and children, have fled their homes during a Russian-backed Syrian military campaign to clear the opposition in northwest Syria since Dec. 1, a senior U.N. spokesperson said on Thursday.
The exodus is expected to continue, with thousands of people on the move as whole towns and communities flee to the safety of areas near the Turkish border, David Swanson told Reuters.
“Tragically, the number of people displaced – the vast majority of them women and children – has now surpassed 800,000,” Swanson said.
Russian jets and Syrian artillery have pounded towns and villages since early December in a renewed assault backed by pro-Iranian militias and aimed at clearing the opposition.
“Residents are fleeing by the thousands in open trucks or by foot; often at night to escape detection despite the bitter cold temperatures,” Swanson, the U.N. regional spokesman for Syria, told Reuters.
U.N. officials say the region is on the brink of a humanitarian catastrophe. Those on the run in Idlib and adjoining Aleppo province are joining close to 400,000 people who fled earlier bouts of fighting to the safety of camps near the Turkish border.
The latest offensive has brought the military campaign closer to heavily populated northern Idlib along the border, where nearly 3 million people are trapped, according to the United Nations.
Families fleeing air strikes and advancing troops in Idlib province are sleeping rough in streets and olive groves, and burning toxic bundles of rubbish to stay warm in the biting winter weather, aid workers say.
