Newborn with Umbilical Cord Still Attached pulled alive from Syria earthquake rubble

A newborn with her umbilical cord still attached was miraculously pulled alive from rubble in Syria after a devastating earthquake flattened their home — killing her mom and the rest of her immediate family, a relative said.

A relative was caught on video running with the newborn girl in his arms after she was pulled from the rubble of her home in the northern Syrian town of Jindayris on Monday.

Might be a good time to lift sanctions and allow more aid and assistance to get to Syria... just saying.

I thought sanctions were ineffective.

I thought sanctions were ineffective.

Only when it fits the narrative.

I thought sanctions were ineffective.

For Russia? Yes, the sanctions have been ineffective. But for a poor country like Syria? Really?

 

[VolStrom]

I thought sanctions were ineffective.

So sanctions block disaster relief? That is just wrong any way you look at it.

I don’t really care what they do. I’m calling out his inconsistency on sanctions.

Ah ok. So for Russia as usual… that’s different

They’re impacting Russia too which is why you cry like a little bitch about them. Spare me your faux outrage and indignation here

They're effective enough to block immediate aid and cost lives. Unless there's a loophole for humanitarian aid.

Unlikely.

My post wasn’t really on the sanctions just the hypocrisy of the poster acting like they cared about them.

Earthquake Death Toll Soars Past 11,000 As US Sanctions On Syria Block Humanitarian Aid | ZeroHedge

We aren’t going to engage the Syrian regime but it’s clear we are engaging humanitarian groups already there… because of said regime who brutalized their own people.


State Department spokesman Ned Price said Monday that the US would work with NGOs in the country but wouldn’t engage with the government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. He didn’t give any indication that the US would lift sanctions on Syria.

When asked by Antiwar.com if the Biden administration was considering lifting sanctions, the State Department referred to Price’s comments about working with NGOs. "In Turkey, we have a partner in the government; in Syria, we have a partner in the form of NGOs on the ground who are providing humanitarian support," Price said.

When pressed on why the US wouldn’t engage with Damascus, Price said it "would be quite ironic, if not even counterproductive, for us to reach out to a government that has brutalized its people over the course of a dozen years now."

Not what i did. I'm simply stunned that someone could make that statement as if the US cares about what a govt does to its people

So it appears that’s exactly what you did.

So pointing out an outright govt lie is whataboutism?

Well deflecting to another government’s action to ignore the actions of the government being discussed sure is. Which is exactly what you did. You’re of course free to protest why you did it all day long.
