American Nightmare: The Fall of “Moderate Rebels” in Aleppo

TEHRAN (FNA)- With the United States refusing to change its self-defeating policy toward the war on Syria, Russia has intensified its airstrikes against terrorist groups in eastern Aleppo.

Taken aback by Moscow’s actions, US officials have slammed the move and called are for a no-fly zone over the city. This is confusing, as Russia has always suggested the two should coordinate in targeting terrorist groups - something the US rejected doing. Still worse, the US violated a recent ceasefire agreement for a host of excuses, which are not that hard to debunk:

- It has been clear for US strategists that a no-fly zone would mean mass civilian casualties. According to leaked quotes from a 2013 Hillary Clinton speech, “To have a no-fly zone you have to take out all of the air defences, many of which are located in populated areas. So our missiles, even if they are standoff missiles so we’re not putting our pilots at risk - you’re going to kill a lot of Syrians.”

Are these the same kind of "moderates" who we seek against ISIS in the US and Western World?  The same kind of "moderates" who restrained Hitler?  The same kind of "moderates" that helped free America from the British in the Revolutionary War?  The same kind of "moderates" who stopped Gen. Tojo in WWII?

If one looks up the official "Syrian Democratic Forces" which we support, those are Kurds, Christians and Arabs. They aren't in Aleppo, I don't believe.
