    Perfectly reasonable to blame POTUS45. He's responsible for the crisis leading to the video. Nothing 'disgusting' about it.

    Trump inherited the mess and while I don't agree with the withdrawal I know for certain that users such as yourself would not be okay with republicans posting up images of children that were apparently injured as a result of a decision which Obama made in his eight years, which there were many by the way. You are holding Trump to a standard you would not be happy with others holding Obama to and excusing the underhanded actions of certain democrats which you also wouldn't excuse if republicans did it.

    When Obama was in power there were lots of images and footage like that below that were put out and all on the left condemned it.

    The only reason there would be 'shoot the messenger' with such photos is in the presentation; unfortunately most of this stuff that was shared in the right wing blogosphere under BHO ended up getting miscaptioned or set alongside a distorted set of 'alternative facts.'

    Another expert on dead children. What is it that you do that gives you this insight?

    For what it's worth, I had a deeper look around for the origin of this theory and at the moment, it seems confined to just the two of you.

    Precisely and why bother, why not run with the story as is, and be honest about how they are suffering from displacement and all that goes with it. This kind of thing just results in all images an footage of this nature, even when genuine, being seen as propaganda, and the cry wolf affect inevitably kicks in.

    Trump inherited the mess

    Bull: he inherited no less BS in the middle east than any other president in the last half century. Between Korea and Vietnam and all the **** else, Trump has zero excuses to say he was handed a tough card; of all the cards to be dealt he was well within his power to keep this apparent genocide from happening through the course of a few phone calls. He frankly deserves little in the way of a pass on this flashpoint and how it unfolded. I still keep hearing "I know more than the generals, we can defeat ISIS in 30 days!" ringing through my memory somewhere.

    and while I don't agree with the withdrawal I know for certain that users such as yourself would not be okay with republicans posting up images of children that were apparently injured as a result of a decision which Obama made in his eight years, which there were many by the way. You are holding Trump to a standard you would not be happy with others holding Obama to and excusing the underhanded actions of certain democrats which you also wouldn't excuse if republicans did it.

    Just a sample of some Obama criticism not unlike Susan Rice's tweet that was produced 'by the libs.' Seems to deflate your argument somewhat, imho:

    Maybe watch the video yourself from the 1 minute 10 seconds onwards. Blinking and opening and closing its mouth. It's a miracle

    Did the poster delete the link ! Lol. Scarlet for ya!!

    Here it is again:



    Trump got the blame for the child's "death" . Does he get the recognition for bringing it back to life?

    Turkey are bombing the territory held by the Kurds.
    People, including children are being blown apart.

    This is fact and this is because of what Trump did.

    What about the video though? Or do you just want to pretend that wasn't posted?

    @bedier
    So many experienced public officials are posting HOAX videos and images produced by the #YPG #SDF meme propaganda factory without fact checking. The child in the woman's arm is alive and moving. Yet the video translation and captions claim she was killed by Turkey

    Did you both not watch the video? Awkward


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,236 ✭✭✭mcmoustache


    If there was any weight to the idea that the child was alive, we'd have more than just two boards accounts and a tweet with a single "Like" shíting on about it.

    Watch the video. Witness the miracle.

    But somehow it's easier to believe the Democrat controlled media in Kurdistan is using date rape drugs on kids to really sauce up the drama :confused:

    Are you denying people are being killed by the Turkish?

    Will you only be satisfied when you see dead children?

    What the hell are you on about? Pay attention, for once: Susan Rice quoted a journalist who said the child was dead.

    Oh and as to your suggestion that this has nothing to do with impeachment, open your eyes, and ears:

    Damn I should have seen it - the head Jew and his paid actors from Kurdistan.Craigslist.org

    You just never see that Soros plot twist coming!

    Taking a break from this serious discussions about Crisis Actors for a second, it seems that the State Department under direction from the White House attempted to block the testimony of Volcker, Yovanovitch, Hill and Kent. This was quickly sorted out with subpoenas but it's odd that they would keep trying to prevent testimony.

    You mean this guy?

    https://twitter.com/akramsalih7/status/1182966985979842560?s=20

    his caption is confusing I will grant you - unless he has a husband. He doesn't attribute this as a "quote" or as a direct translation (140 characters for a 2 minute rant? The Kurdish dialect isn't that labored)

    But uhm, in more akwardness pete, this isn't the same video.

    Here's the fill clip with subtitles where the woman can be seen saying that the child is sick and hasn't drunk milk for days and that she has had to carry them.



    Notice the red barrels? lighting? Yo!

    In the red barrel video I still have no translation for it - and again, I couldn't discount that during that 2 minutes of additional footage that mention of a 2nd daughter wasn't captured in the 140 character caption offered.

    cue accusations of crisis actor because the same woman and child were videoed twice.

    The video shared by Susan Rice blaming Trump for a child's death is a fake. That's what's up

    No.

    What is odd is that this is being done from behind closed doors.

    What is odd is that the transcripts of the depositions are not released.

    What is odd is that Schiff keeps leaking cherry picked little tidbits to further his narrative.

    What is odd is that all of a sudden Schiff says we don’t need the whistleblower anymore.

    What is odd is that we have the call. We have the Ukrainian President on numerous occasions saying there was nothing to it.

    Yet the clown show rolls on.

    Nothing odd about any of that: the Trump WH enjoyed numerous, numerous leaks from Congressional Oversight including (public-hearing telegraphing) while the special counsel investigation was proceeding. The WH tampered with witnesses and used leaked information to prepare counter testimony and keep their own lies straight.

    Having the hearings closed means the panels get to hear each witness version of events - where they match and where they conflict (if they conflict). Republicans and Democrats both sit on those panels.

    And besides not too long ago Trump defended shrouding phone call logs into the government's code-word level classified database because he was tired of leaks to the press from earlier in his administration. Surely then you should be the first to defend Congress' right to do inherently the same thing? ;)
