He, meantime, said that the Syrian army, supported by the Russian fighter jets and other allies, could kill over 2,000 Saudi mercenaries and destroyed more than 70 tanks of the terrorists in different parts of the province in the past few days. Latest reports said on Tuesday that the Syrian and Russian warplanes pounded the terrorist groups' gatherings and concentration centers in the Western neighborhoods of Aleppo, killing 20 and wounding several more. "20 militants were killed and several others were injured in Syrian and Russian airstrikes on their positions in Qabat al-Assad area in the Northern side of Rashedeen ." Also a notorious field commander of Ahrar al-Sham was killed in heavy fighting with the resistance forces in the Southern districts of Aleppo. Abu Hassan al-Shami was killed in resistance fighters' attacks in the Southern battlefields of Aleppo city. In the meantime, 48 terrorists, originally from Idlib province, were killed in the Syrian missile, artillery and air attacks in Southern Aleppo. Also, fierce clashes are underway between terrorist groups and Kurdish fighters in Sheikh Maqsoud district in Northern part of Aleppo city. The US State Department has approved a large sale of weapons to the Saudi Arabia, citing the Persian Gulf nation as a leading contributor of political stability and economic progress. Most of these Arms engulfs Syria and Iraq Crisis and Saudi Army will use them for killing Yemeni Civilians. Zharkov Interesting idea: The Syrian government should have a team of lawyers sue the Saudi and US governments in a US District Court for damages in a class action suit on behalf of all citizens of Syria who had to flee to the US to save their own lives. Damages could run in the hundreds of billions of dollars, and the lawyers who could win that lawsuit would be wealthy for the rest of their lives - however short that may be. Similar lawsuits could be filed against every country in which Syrian citizens can be found, such as in French courts, German courts, Swedish courts, etc. Any country which contributed money or military supplies to overthrow the Syrian government could be sued and held liable for damages to Syrian citizens. That case would be a lot of fun to take to trial, if it gets that far. Then there is the possibility of sueing Western government officials in their individual capacity for aiding and abetting terrorists in Syria. The "coalition of the willing" would become the coalition of defendants. Tom Pain... None of the other Google entries offer any proof. This would make it as though Russia was technically at war with Saudi. ] Zharkov Even if the story is false, there is no lack of evidence connecting the Saudi and US governments with the anti-Assad fighters in Syria, now that Hillary's e-mails have been found. There have been lawsuits filed many times before with far less evidence. Zharkov I view the Syrian conflict as an illegal war of aggression by UN members in violation of their UN treaty. The Syrian government has every right to sue those members for damages for violating the treaty. Maybe the Assad government has run out of money for lawyers, I don't know, but I think they could have a case. Tom Pain I think that is a naive expectation. The stakes and principle players are above the jurisdiction of any court. At this point it is a matter of might makes right. Then if you consider the very real possibility; if not likelihood that this whole Syria thing is merely one small operation in a global scheme which is hushed up due to the covert nature of its nightmarish horror it becomes an even stickier thing to contemplate. Back in the days of Eisenhower it was said that the United States was controlled by at most 50 men. Some years back a famous author and member of the Davos crowd wrote that the entire world is controlled by roughly 7,000 people. I wonder how many it is today? Sharks do eat Sharks. However many it is and whoever they are operate above all known law. The war in Syria is going on because they want it to. Edited by Tom Pain Shahtman... Tom, you know a lot, at this stage all the players are lying to each other. That's the way the every war bounces. Zharkov It's a suggestion, not an expectation. I expect Syria's government to continue doing what it does now, and that means Syria will continue to be destroyed one village at a time until little remains for Syrians. It's one thing to rebuild a village or city that was destroyed by bombs, but something else to rebuild an entire nation of cities destroyed. Middle Eastern leaders probably think they would look weak and powerless if they had to resort to the US judicial system to fight their wars. It would elevate the US into some sort of super government, perhaps, in the minds of foreign citizens but the fact is that federal courts routinely accept cases involving foreign citizens and their governments. Argentina, for example, was sued in US District Court by foreign bond holders. Iran likewise was sued by US hostages and their families. Viktor Bout was taken by force to US District Court which took jurisdiction over him despite him never having any dealings inside the US. There are other examples not so well known or reported by media, but the US District Court is where Hillary Clinton was sued for lying about her server and e-mails, and where she was sued for lying about Benghazi. So it is not difficult to imagine the Syrian government sueing for damages to Syrian citizens in a massive class action lawsuit. That may not be president Assad's way of doing business, but lawsuits are how disputes get settled in the West, and lawsuits are about all there is to force the US government to do the right thing and stop supplying military arms to people who are destroying Syria. There is no logical reason why Assad cannot defend Syria on multiple fronts - military, judicial, international media, demand sanctions at the UN against terrorist suppliers, among other things. Lawsuits can become part of that defense. They provide a media forum to show the injustices of fellow UN members attacking Syria. Had Libya sued, maybe Khadaffi might still be alive today, who knows? US officials like to give the appearance they are invincible, but they all have one fear that stops their nonsense, and that is a lawsuit on their home turf. It's the one thing they all dread more than war itself. Tom Pain The US government would not allow American citizens to sue the Saudi's for 911 and the express reason given was the political ramification of setting a precedent allowing a foreign country to sue us. That only leaves the Hague Court. The United States is not a signatory. Clinton tried to make us one, but Bush nixed it during his first days in office. I don't think that Obama reversed that, but you may correct me if I am wrong. Atossa If only it were those "key" 7000 globalist sharks being targeted... instead of this ridiculous never-ending war in Aleppo. " Russia's General Staff: About 7,000 militants amassed on Aleppo approaches " engforum.prav...ppo-approaches/ Zharkov There is a doctrine of mutuality in international law, that if a court takes jurisdiction over foreign citizens, it must accept jurisdiction of foreign claims of those citizens. For example, in the case of Iran, the US hostages sued and won millions of dollars and attached Iranian money on deposit in the US. If Iran had filed counterclaims in the same lawsuit for damages for conspiracy to overthrow its government, the court or a jury would have to decide both claims and counterclaims. Iran defaulted instead and automatically lost the case. Sometimes it takes multiple lawsuits arguing against sovereign immunity before the courts decide the lawyers were right all along. Sometimes it is a different judge who sees the injustice and decides to make an exception, and it would be difficult to see ruined cities and homes, dead Syrian women and children and decide Syria had no legal remedy at all, Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread
