It probably is -- from the viewpoint of those that bombs civilians with barrel bombs.

(That said, for all I know the white helmets is a front for ISIS. But either way, the Assad junta and the Russians have an obvious interest in tarring them black.)



> of those that bombs civilians with barrel bombs.

Of course, who wouldnt choose to be melted to pieces by an expensive explosive device with advanced guidance and autonomous systems rather than a cheap ones?


You are knowingly dishonest by ignoring the word "civilian".

Here you have my standard reference, quite critical of the US, regarding the laws of war. Please compare the US behavior with the Syrian/Russian Rules Of Engagement.

Never heard of this. Do you have a source?


Look up the English expression "for all I know".

I might as well have written ""for all I know the white helmets might be working for the lizard men."

Disclaimer: English is not my first language so for all I know, I might be misusing the expression. :-)
