The collective West are lying when they claim any solidarity with #Syrian people or that they are sending "humanitarian" aid to #Syria. They are sending only to areas controlled by #AlQaeda assets including #WhiteHelmets. Aid will not reach Syrian people in most cases. Either it will be stored by the terrorist gangs for resale at high prices to the Syrian people (standard MO) or it will be traded in Turkey from the Bab Al Hawa border crossing. Those supplying Humanitarian aid lack humanity and those receiving it don't give a sh*t about Syrian people who they have exploited and murdered for 11 years. https://beeley.substack.com/p/un-official-challenges-punitive-unilateral

Excerpts from my latest oped:
"...The West’s war on Syria that began in early 2011 failed to topple its elected president, but the subsequent years of increasingly cruel sanctions – all in the name of ‘helping the Syrian people’ – have succeeded in rendering life miserable and near impossible, with most unable to afford to properly feed their families, much less heat their homes.
Now, in a time of crisis, the Syrian people cannot even receive donations or emergency support from abroad. One supporter set up a GoFundMe campaign, only to have it taken down due to the sanctions. Type the word “Ukraine” into the search field on PayPal or GoFundMe and you’ll see countless appeals for sending money to Ukraine. But for Syrians, Western platforms like these are off-limits, and have been for years.
On February 6, southern Türkiye and northern Syria were hit by a 7.8-magnitude earthquake, followed by dozens of aftershocks and then another earthquake. While the neighboring countries of Lebanon, Jordan, Palestine, Iraq and others were affected, the worst of the damage was in Türkiye and Syria.
As of February 9, the official death toll in Syria was 1,347, with more than 2,300 injured. Nearly 300,000 Syrians have been displaced due to the earthquakes. The scenes initially coming out of Türkiye and Syria were heartbreaking and catastrophic, with buildings collapsing in front of people, and piles of rubble with the dead and the maimed trapped below.
In Syria, the earthquakes added to already extensive damage from the war. Aleppo, the country’s second-largest city, was tragically prone to building collapses because of the terrorist occupation that had lasted until 2016. The militants had frequently tunneled under buildings, in many cases in order to lay explosives and destroy them, as they did with the Chamber of Industry in April 2014. With the Syrian population already struggling to just survive prior to the earthquakes, now Aleppo and the coastal regions of Syria affected by the earthquakes face even more death, injury and displacement.
Even without the earthquakes, Syrians struggled to get medication, hospitals struggled to get or maintain critical machinery and equipment, and the population as a whole suffocated as the country’s economy steadily worsened, all by design.
...according to British journalist Vanessa Beeley: “The US and its proxy Kurdish separatist forces are occupying Syrian resources in the northeast which includes their oil, which means of course that the bulk of Syria is reliant upon Iranian oil to keep any kind of electricity running. At the moment, we have basically about two or three hours of electricity per day. There is no heating in the majority of homes across Syria.”
...Some 12 years into the West’s proxy war on Syria, the continued denial of the very basics of emergency humanitarian relief to Syrians outside “rebel-controlled” areas, shows how little the West’s claim to care for Syrians really matter. The lack of concern by the UN, WHO, and affiliated aid agencies for the Syrians of Aleppo, among other government-controlled areas, is not at all surprising, given these bodies over the years systematically downplayed terrorism against Syrian civilians..."

🇷🇺 Russia is demanding an assessment from the Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe (#OSCE) about the alleged use of 🧪 chemical weapons by Ukrainian forces in the Donetsk People’s Republic. The officials claim Russian servicemen have been chemically burned and poisoned as a result of Kiev's actions.

"You saw this coming and posed the question as soon as news broke of the earthquakes in Syria and Turkey on 6 February. Will the Biden regime find it within itself to set aside its unlawful sanctions against the Syrian Arab Republic, which have devastated the lives of the Syrian people for a dozen years, in the name of common humanity and—old-fashioned thought—ordinary decency?

The embarrassing publicity comes not long after Ukraine’s president shared to Instagram a photo of a soldier donning the Nazi “Death’s Head” insignia.
