PROPAGANDA FAIL: 5 of 6 Syrian Hospitals Allegedly Hit by Russian Airstrikes Don’t Exist

The Russian Defence Ministry has openly attacked claims launched by Western mainstream media outlets that their mission in Syria has been targeting hospitals and civilians.

Major General Konoshenkov said this:

“I would like to remind you that a week ago several leading Western media outlets citing the US-based Syrian American Medical Society accused us of allegedly bombing hospitals in al-Ees, al-Hader, Khan Tuman, Sarmin, Latamna and al-Zirba.“

“All these reports were made without any proof…“

“We investigated this information. It turned out, in fact, that there is a hospital only in the settlement of Sarmin. There are no hospitals in al-Ees, al-Hader, Khan Tuman, Latamna and al-Zirba, and, consequently, there are no healthcare workers.“

The Ministry even provided photographs of the hospital in Sarmin, clearly showing that it had not been destroyed:

Mind you the propaganda was not totally in vain.

It's interesting to see how many people here uncritically accepted the propaganda

Well, as long as the Russians say it, I know they aren't guilty of using propaganda and would never lie.

It is more a matter of the Western has not supported its evidence with facts rather than whether Russia is lying or not.

Sputnik News:

Sputnik is an international multimedia news service launched on November 10, 2014 by Rossiya Segodnya, an agency wholly owned and operated by the Russian government, which was created by a Decree of the President of Russia on December 9, 2013.[2] Sputnik replaces the RIA Novosti news agency on an international stage (which remains active in Russia)[3] and Voice of Russia.

Damn right they don't exist anymore. Say what you will about the Russians, they know how to build quality missiles.

 

[Perspicuo]

Both sides are full of grade-A stinky-as-hell bullshit.

It insults the human mind that it's not a good-guys versus bad-guys situation. Our primate minds are titillated by moral B&Ws.

Praise Putin!

His glorious example made all the super happy workers do their best every day!

If only people distrusted every word out of Washington as much as they distrust Moscow.

Both lie all the time.

But Moscow is way funnier in how they do it.

That is your opinion.

The GW Bush administration was one hysterical laugh after another, unfortunately it was also insanely destructive.

True. For the purposes of the thread, it also falls into the "Who gives a shit?" category, though. This is about laughing at the stupidity of Russian propaganda. If you want to laugh at the stupidity of American propaganda, you can turn on CNN or Fox News.

All that guy needed was the truth and he would have had all the ammunition against the US unprovoked invasion he needed.

Obviously I give a shit.

And don't really care how many other fun lovers don't.

The apes like to salivate all over themselves about the splinter in Putin's eyes and are too dull to see the beams in Obama's and Bush's.

If 'ifs and buts' were candy and nuts you'd be extruding fruitcakes.

There is nothing funny about the reaction of people in a weak nation when attacked by a very strong nation.

Especially when it was an unprovoked attack. A massive war crime and act of terrorism.

Not Really!

A rose is a rose. A lie is a lie. When the lies are about killing people they are never funny.

Sometimes they're funny. For an example, look at the Kremlin press releases regarding their lies about killing people.
