No .... don't do that Milti! Every post Paphitis makes is a joke and shows just how little he knows about the World today. He is still living in the past, the good-old Cold War days when the in thing was to see Russians as little more than animals and a threat to the American dream. He changes his approach so often it is sometimes hard to keep up.
Yes, you are absolutely right, of course the US coalition has abandoned the 'moderate' terrorists anyone with half a brain could work that out. The US coalition are committed to fighting Daesh in Iraq, although once again Paphitis does no see it that way. In Syria the US coalition is on its way out. As we have explained to him many times, Putin is in the driving seat of diplomacy in the region and it will be Putin that will be heralded as the Peace Maker in Chief. The US's involvement will be more of a courtesy to help them save face than them actually having a say in events.
As for air dropping weapons to recognised and declared terrorists? That would be contrary to International Law and even more so if/when the UN ratifies the ceasefire. What he never seems to appreciate is that for his coalition to even be in Syria is illegal and every bomb they drop, without Assad's prior agreement is a war crime. He says you won't see many articles on illegal weapon supplies..... of course you won't in the MSM reports he reads .... but there is plenty about it in the Independent Media. Ignorance or disregard for the Law is no defence.
As the people of Aleppo have escaped from their enforced incarceration, more and more stories are coming out regarding what crimes these 'moderate' terrorists have been carrying out. But Paphitis ignores all that! He is not aware of the hundreds of both civilians and SAA captives his 'moderate rebels' executed when they left Eastern Aleppo and that included women and children. The Syrians do not blame Assad or Putin, they blame the terrorists, ALL of them including FSA and the 'moderates', that the US coalition provided with the means to enforce misery on them. It is now being well documented.
Vast amounts of US supplied weapons have been found in Aleppo warehouses, along with mountains of food and medicine ..... but Paphitis still bangs on, in the face of all the evidence, about Assad and Putin being war criminals. He never provides and proof and certainly never replies to any direct question. The people of Aleppo praise Assad and Putin for all the aid and support, for the simple fact that the only thing the coalition supplied was weapons to be used against them. As Paphitis' is so fond of saying ..........the chickens are coming home to roost!"
Syria-Gate: NATO Weaponry and Personnel in East Aleppo - Interview with Syrian MP
Huge stockpiles of weaponry and ammunition, many with NATO markings, were discovered in East Aleppo when the Al-Nusra militants, a local branch of Al Qaida, were pushed out of the city by Syrian forces.
The previous reports that NATO personnel were captured are now retracted, as they were allowed to leave with the militants on the buses provided according to the agreement, to spare NATO the embarrassment. FWM interviews the Syrian MP Fares Shehabi, an Aleppo resident himself. He calls the discoveries “SyriaGate”.

Had the US got its way in Syria they would without doubt have proceeded with phoney accusations against both Assad and Russia. But they lost, so the victors will now hopefully bring the Coalition governments to trail for their complicity in numerous war crimes and crimes against humanity and make them pay for it .... big time!
