The significance of these two US State Department Officials’ ridiculous performances to accuse Russia of War Crimes without evidence, and even refuse to provide the location of a hospital they claimed was bombed, is pathetic attempt to defend ongoing US empire in the Middle East.
Russia Today’s Gayane Chichakyan questions spokesperson for the United States Department of State Admiral John Kirby, former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense:
“Do you have any evidence that Russia bombed hospitals in Syria?”
The admiral’s answer, amid “ummm, and ahhh,” claims to have seen “press reporting,” testimony of un-named sources, and other unspecified reporting.
When asked for specific evidence, the admiral refused further detail and claimed to have answered the question.
The second clip in the video is US Department of State Director of the Press Office Elizabeth Trudeau pressed with the question of what exact hospital was hit by Russia and where. She states that she stands with Mr. Kirby, refuses to answer what hospital was hit, then accuses Russia of “targeting civilian infrastructure.”
Ms. Trudeau claims she can’t discuss the location of the hospital hit by Russian bombing because it is a “detail of operational assessment.”
AP reporter Matthew Lee asks how a location of a hospital harms intelligence sources or methods; Ms. Trudeau fails to provide a location or name of the hospital.
Ms. Chichakyan provides photographic evidence of a hospital in the area that shows no evidence of harm. Ms. Trudeau fails to answer if that is or is not the hospital the US accuses Russia of bombing.
These are the tragic-comic official lies of empire. Please note the flashes of micro-smiles during the two US officials’ non-answers that are evidence of duping delight.
The significance of these two US State Department Officials’ ridiculous performances to accuse Russia of War Crimes without evidence, and even refuse to provide the location of a hospital they claimed was bombed, is pathetic attempt to defend ongoing US empire in the Middle East; in this case to install a “friendly regime” in Syria.
When Americans are ready, they will demand answers, and will choose to recognize the United States today is the leading global criminal empire among the so-called “former” colonial powers; ridiculous in Emperor’s New Clothes obvious crimes for anyone caring to look at the facts:
Crimes Against Humanity for ongoing policy of poverty that’s killed over 400 million human beings just since 1995 (~75% children; more deaths than from all wars in Earth’s recorded history).
So-called “money” that is actually debt that creates accelerating and unpayable total debt.
