Ahrar Al-Sham-Suqur Al-Sham and JFS/JaA two moderate jihadist / moderate rebels are fighting each other but which one does the west support?

Neither.

Ahrar al-Sham is only supported by Turkey, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia.

JFS/JaA is classified as a terrorist organisation by the USA and UK, which have both been fighting it since 2015.

Oh look, evidence that the Syrian government used chemical weapons on civilians in Aleppo.

Yeah I'm gonna go ahead and call shenanigans on this, for two reasons:

1: The "evidence" appears to be a report by a human rights organisation who claim anonymous sources claim they say chemical attacks. That's basically a textbook definition of hearsay.

2: It claims it happened in Aleppo. To put that in perspective, while all the fighting was going on in Aleppo between the rebels/loyalists neither side took out the city's power station or tried to cut the other off from it (because both having power was preferable to neither). Considering that level of planning/sense it seems ludicrous that the side controlling the majority of the city (the bigger target) would use chemical weapons on the smaller side thus opening themselves up to retaliatory action in kind.
 
Some bizarre conclusions there uber :confused:

I mean, the Human Rights Watch claim they have evidence that it did happen. Unless you have further, more convincing, evidence that it did not in fact happen, it would be quite bias to just jump to the conclusion it didn't?
 
"mint press"

Agenda: Pro Assad.
Reporting: widely disputed.
Funding: not disclosed.

Quelle surprise! I'd have thought Thetwig would have been against such bias news outlets, considering his strong opinions on the BBC.

No response about the chemical weapons allegations, just more links to news reports about alleged Western activities. Pretty tit for tatt
 
Stig, please explain how shooting isis is worse than gassing innocent civilians.

Unless you support ISIS that is?

yh because civilians don't live in isis controlled areas only in moderate jihadist areas

my bad you're right also depleted uranium isn't an issue

Depleted uranium is used as armour piercing ammo. You use armour piercing on tanks and fortified emplacements. Not to casually shoot people from small arms.

Edit: which of course you know because you read the link you posted.

Edit 2: and that still doesn't explain why DU is worse than chemical bombs. Surely both are bad?
