UN Calculates New Death Toll From Syrian Civil War

 

BBC: Syria war: UN calculates new death toll 

At least 350,209 people have been killed in 10 years of war in Syria, the UN says in its first official death toll since 2014. 

Its human rights chief cautioned the figure is "certainly an under-count of the actual number of killings". 

A leading but unofficial UK-based monitoring group recently put the death toll at over 606,000. 

The war in Syria has largely wound down with just a single province now controlled by jihadists and rebels.

It is what happens, when you do not take out the big guy, who is evil. Germans did not take out Hitler. Look what happened to them. Syrians did not take out Assad.

Actually it is blowback for Assad assisting Al Qaeda from 2003 to 2011. It is a continuation of the fight of the Muslim Brotherhood's time from Assad's father until now. It is the result of Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Iran mixing it up in Syria. It is the result of Assad's secret police.

We could follow that path all the way back to Israel if you'd like, but of course you don't want to. History has to begin when it's convenient for your simplistic takes.

One wonders what your opinion would be on the war if Assad had lost and hundreds of thousands of christians were put to the knife at the hands of those you had supported.

You're unhinged with your last comment, and no, I do not deny that all of our proxies in the middle east had special forces or "advisors" in Syria. It was a western backed dirty war after all.

Qatar is an US proxy. Care to tell another lie. Your list of lies is innumerable. Interestingly enough you did not deny the rape charge.
