Russians retaliated against Turkey today by hitting a Turkish humanitarian aid convoy that was moving from Turkey to Aleppo. The convoy was attempting to bring humanitarian aid to a refugee camp. It was hit just as it crossed Turkey’s border.
Russian bomber jets hit the convoy, killing seven and wounding ten people. Twenty of the trucks that composed the convoy burned to the ground.
Killing humanitarian aid is a very Russian method of conducting warfare.
That’s right! And they send weapons in ‘humanitarian’ trucks to Ukraine. Isn’t it humane?

And Putin first enriched himself back in St Petersburg by stealing and reselling the humanitarian aid from the West. Now, of course, he’s a huge defender of Christian values, the bastard.

Agree 100%. KGB and the Russian Orthodox Church have nothing in common with Christianity.

Google the words “Russian Turkish convoy,” and you’ll find multiple reports on the attack.

The trucks where carrying cement and iron. I don’t understand why refugees need that.

And did you understand why the Ukrainian refugees needed battalions of Russian soldiers armed to the teeth that were carried into Ukraine by Russia’s “humanitarian aid convoys” a very short time ago?

Obviously the Ukranians did not need Russian soldiers. Can you shed light on why this shipment of cement and iron was needed by refugees?

Some of the reports say that a combination of convoys, including commercial trucks carrying commercial material on established truck routes, were hit.
You think the Russians cared about the contents, as long as they were getting “revenge” on Turkey?

The most important thing is that this cannot be excused as a failed attack on ISIS. There’s no ISIS there.
The idea that the Russians would want to battle ISIS has always mystified me.

I never heard anything about cement and iron. Why is it important, though? What does the knowledge of whether they wanted to build a hospital or a school or whether there was no cement there at all change in the situation?

Anti-aircraft weapon system that can down planes deep inside Israeli territory is deployed at Russia’s airbase in Latakia.

US officials have criticized the decision to send the missiles to Syria, saying their presence raises “significant concerns” due to their wide 400-kilometer (250-mile) reach that stretches beyond Syria’s borders into Turkey and Israel.
