At least 53 dead as airstrikes hit Syrian market in Atareb

Source: ITV

At least 53 people have been killed in three airstrikes on a Syrian market.
...
The town in the north of the country, has seen an influx of refugees following the battle to retake Aleppo - which is around 20 miles east of Atareb - and other nearby battles, in the latest breach of a "de-escalation" agreement which has proved largely unenforceable.
...
The monitoring group continued that among the dead were at least five children, while Thiaq put the number of wounded at more than 90.

The Observatory continued that it did not know if the Syrian Government, or its chief backer, Russia, was behind the attack.

Trump's statements this weeked say how we need to partnet with Russia on Syroa was no doubt seen as a green light by Putin and Assad to go full on war crime crazy in Syria against the rebels.

Just like what happened after Trump sent Jared to Saudi Arabia and tweeted that he is behind the Saudi ruling prince. The prince then went house cleaning, jailing rival princes, without fear of objection from the US.

be new Nuremberg trials for them all. And throw in Saudi for it's equally clear war crimes.

A fucking market..a target or a gross and criminal act of negligence? The dead can at least ask for justice can' t they?

Remember Shitler has already killed more innocents than Obama's 8 year war over there. And I remember how Shitler proudly said he would be a proud war criminal and NOT attempt to limit innocent casualties.

Putin is Trump in every way but intelligence.
