Syria: scenes from life

In Syria, more than 2 years, since March 2011, the civil war continues between the authorities and the opposition. According to UN official data, more than 80 000 people died in the country during this time. Syrian authorities say they are opposed by well-armed and trained fighters arriving and financed from abroad. The number of refugees from the country in April exceeded 1 million people.

The United States and Russia have great differences over Syria. The US State Department considers the delivery of Russian C-300 air defense systems to Syrian authorities a mistake, and Russia is dissatisfied with the decision to allow the supply of weapons to the rebels and accuses the bloc of double standards, and also says that it harms the possibilities for a peaceful settlement and end the civil war.

Quote: bear

war is a terrible “aunt”

Yes, probably - "to whom the war, and to whom the mother is dear ..."

[avant-garde]

This is how "democracy" looks like in reality .... I feel sorry for the Syrians how to restore it all!

[avt]

Quote: avant-garde

This is how "democracy" looks like in reality ....

I would specify - bringing to "democracy and universal human values" through the strict observance of human rights under the vigilant supervision of civilian non-governmental organizations.

[Gemar]

Quote: avant-garde

how to restore all this!

After the end of the war (I hope for the victory of the people, read Assad), China will immediately begin to act according to the principle that they apply in Africa. You give us resources for a pittance, we build / restore your infrastructure. Assad is unlikely to accept dollars, which are in abundance in the PRC, only if he himself starts selling something to the United States / European Union. And the Chinese in this way (by doing work, not money) create the illusion of "real" assistance to a "friendly" (read, having useful resources) country. The money will be spent over time, and the infrastructure will remain, as a reminder of who helped rebuild Syria.

Elementary - pens. In general, probably it will be better to build new than to restore.

In the photo where the rocket is launched, a man with a level is clearly not an Arab, rather a European.

[Argon]

After numerous launch attempts (see videos on the Internet), the victims of which were mainly the launchers, they called the shaman, he explains, "the range depends on the vertical angle of installation" - and the one next to the face of the "intellectual" - "So what if it's on one side Can I shoot around the corner? "

[Alexey Prikazchikov]

In the last photo bronik interesting.

[datur]

Apparently American!

[Alexey Prikazchikov]

Yeah, I saw such marines. And it’s some kind of very light bronik.

[omsbon]

Victory to you, the Syrian people!

[Pit]

If Syria collapses, then we should prepare for war. In less than five years, the democrats will visit us with all the "blessings"

[demon ada]

it's time to put things in order.
bring peacekeepers
enough to tear the country apart.
Pacify the neighbors.

[Pit]

Quote: demon ada

it's time to put things in order. bring peacekeepers

This is the problem. Geyropa together with the USAcali want to bring in a "peacekeeping" contingent. And if they succeed, then the situation will only worsen.
But then oil will flow like a river, the pipeline from Qatar will pierce and a direct road will open to Iran, and for one, to us.
So if foreign troops are also brought in there, it’s definitely not NATO troops.

[Gari]

From the Syrian media:
Syrian Information Minister Omran Az-Zoubi advised Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan to seek political asylum from Qatar, resign and leave the country. According to the chief ideologist of the Syrian Arab Republic, Qatar may well accept Erdogan.
It should be noted that in recent days, the Syrian state-owned media has been actively covering the riots that have already covered 67 cities in Turkey, including Ankara and Istanbul.

[borisjdin1957]

from the Don.
Looking at these shots, I feel sorry for the ordinary Syrians to tears! What was the country turned into? And this ice rink is rolling inevitably on us! It's not sweet, soon, we will have to, oh, not sweet!

[Dejavu]

"Colorful Syrian Rebels"
Monkeys fuck ...

[JonnyT]

and drug addicts!

[Aleks tv]

Solid photos. Unvarnished, thanks.

And what kind of new helmets do Syrian soldiers have? Hour not our newfangles? I didn’t wear new ones, so I’m lost in conjecture.

[ed65b]

Something I do not burn the desire to observe inspired bearded Hari in my Caucasus and Volga. Fight until victory Syrian friends for themselves and for us.
Yesterday I watched half a day reporting from Syria and that a comparison is not in favor of the Israeli army. Jews will not take out urban wars against the Syrians, these are completely different soldiers.

[Ermek]

Mujahideen’s faces are clearly not disfigured by intellect, and are still evil. But how calm and confident the soldiers, including the girl.

[Kirgudum]

Nevertheless, the rats lose - the Syrian army slowly but surely squeezes them out of all the cities occupied by them. The purge of Quseir, Homs is coming to an end, and Allepo will be taken soon.

[Nomad]

For that one girl lying on a tombstone and mourning someone close to her, the arsonists of this war will burn in hell! Amen.

[PN]

This photo was the most touched. There are many children there that have remained orphans.

[sq]

Remember this when praying.
GOD is alone, although we pray to him in different ways.

[Ram chandra]

There is no hell. Well - perhaps they are trying to make it in Syria.

[stroporez]

If you have a weapon in your hands, ---- Shoto means something wrong with this world .............. let those who have allowed this to die in agony ......... ...

[salah]

How terrible are those people who sponsor death for the sake of power and their interests. You can’t put up with this, they must be found and punished!

[Kovrovsky]

Interestingly, the boy in the first photo for whom is fighting? I hope for Assad!

[sys-1985]

It’s a pity the child, those who started all this to burn in hell!

[Hemi cuda]

I screwed it up plus, one can almost watch real-time Syria at anna-news every day almost in real time, the shot from the shoulder from the recoilless device was added to my favorites epic.

[AndreyAB]

Yes, even sandbags overlay, then fine.

[garik404]

It is difficult to say unequivocally whose modernization was ...

In 1997, the South African government approved a $ 641 million sale of weapons to the Syrian Arab Republic. It was about the modernization of artillery systems and 4200 Syrian tanks. (http://oko-planet.su/politik/politiklist/186339-briks-pokazyvaet-zuby-v-siriyu-


idet-oruzhie-iz-neskolkih-stran-uchastnikov.html)

One of the latest T-55 upgrades was carried out in Slovenia by STO RAVNE with the participation of engineers from the Israeli company Elbit. Slovenia has modernized 30 T-55s that are in service with the army of this country; the last converted T-55S1 was handed over to the customer in May 1999. The tank is equipped with a 105-mm English cannon with a heat-shielding casing, armor is significantly enhanced by hanging on the hull and turret of dynamic protection units developed by the Israeli company Rafael. The undercarriage is covered by screens, a new track with rubber-metal hinges is used on the tanks. The deal amounted to $ 200 million.

This tank is not apparently destroyed, but completely destroyed.

[Beloborodov]

Is the S-300 photo also from Syria?

[AndreyAB]

Yes, the democratic changes in places of concentration of militants are simply amazing, flourishing cities in ruins - if this is what the Western democrats are calling for, then they are not covered by reptiles. Dee and the inscribed walls are also an indicator of intelligence and general education and the elementary education of bandits.

[APASUS]

Democracy is a scary word; it has two use cases.
Democracy for the Americans ........... and democracy for the Syrians.

[old rats]

Quote: Prometheus

is not a fact.
I saw many Chechens who looked more like Russians than myself.

[sprut]

This is a war against Russia.

[bubble82009]

like all poorly educated Arabs, they are ready to exchange a bad world for tales of a Muslim caliphate. only there there will be new buy-ins that everyone will clean up for themselves, and they will not shoot the acceptable ones according to Sharia law. but no one knows them.

[Cossack23]

it is necessary to prepare for war, sadly, but a fact

[garik404]

What are they nah .. "rebels, rebels", "rebels"?
They are real terrorists !!!
In Hell, they burn - scum.
And this is not a "civil war" !!!
This is a counter-terrorist operation of legitimate government forces against various jackals and critters !!!

[Megatron]

All these words: rebels, rebels, opposition, jihadists, etc., from the dictionary of liberal-shit-democrats! DO NOT use them!

[Matt eversmann]

The civil war has done invaluable damage to Syria and its people. All hope for Bashar al-Assad and the Syrian troops. They are able to end this massacre, only they need our help.

[Light source]

I looked at the photographs, and remembered Lenin-bastard comrades.

[Kazanok]

Asad is an ordinary dictator ... his place is undoubtedly on stake ... but he is friends with us .. that's why they support him ... and frantic muslims fight him .... everywhere you throw a wedge .. everything is against the people of Syria .. they will not be at ease in any situation ...
