A same day article discussed what happened briefly. This one covers updated information. US-claimed “collateral damage” when explaining civilian targets struck reflects willful coverup and denial.
America has precision munitions, able to hit targets with pinpoint accuracy. Its forces knew the coordinates of the Kunduz, Afghanistan hospital.
The only plausible explanation for what happened was cold, calculated, deliberate murder. US warplanes bombed the hospital for over an hour - the first strike at 2:10AM. Hospital staff notified NATO officials in Kabul minutes later. Bombing continued until 3:13AM. It bears repeating. Let’s not mince words.
Multiple US air strikes were willful acts of murder, likely targeting nearby Taliban fighters, maybe injured ones inside, or perhaps another reason yet to be revealed.

Russian air power is a force to be reckoned with, matching America’s best - with state-of-the-art warplanes, attack helicopters and support aircraft, backed up with unmatched surface-to-air missile defenses.
In mid-September, US Air Forces in Europe commander General Frank Forenc called the quality and quantity of Russian aircraft “alarming,” saying America’s “advantage…is shrinking” - code language for admitting Russia’s capability matches the Pentagon’s best.
Russia’s Defense Ministry said 50 warplanes and helicopters were deployed in Syria. Spokesman Igor Konashenkov said it was completed on “very short notice…possible because we had most of the material and ammunition ready at our (naval) depot in Tartus.”
“We only had to move our aircraft and deliver some extra equipment.” Sophisticated Su-24M and Su-25 ground attack planes” are being used.

Netanyahu is an unindicted war criminal, an embarrassment to legitimate governance. Petitions circulated in Britain and America for his arrest.
He remains unaccountable for the supreme high crime against peace. Instead he’s feted where he shows up, especially in America, Britain and Canada, three rogue states supporting another’s leader, partnering in each other’s crimes.
Netanyahu’s UN address was beginning-to-end Big Lies, his usual rant, turning truth on its head, beginning by falsely claiming Israel is “the one true democracy in the Middle East.”

I have been raising awareness about The Nationwide Broken Child Protection System since 2013 (www.savelexi.com).
July 5, 2015, I sent out a submission email about an article published at State of the Nation. The email about how Child Protective Services fails to protect children would be my last.
From that date forward the Internet Police were watching me. An email with a BCC of more than five emails resulted in the following alert:
Message rejected. See https://support.google.com/mail/answer/69585 for more information.
I tried using a different address to send out an email submission about understanding the Secret to Understanding Child Protective Services.
However after just 45 emails sent successfully I was right back where I started: Message rejected. See https://support.google.com/mail/answer/69585 for more information.
Here is the article the Internet Police don't want you to read. Please share with all of your friends.
The Secret to Understanding Family Law Courts, Law Enforcement and Child Protective Services (Part 1 & Part 2)
By Katherine Smith, Ph.D.
“What you have to understand, John, is that sometimes there are forces and events too big, too powerful, with so much at stake for other people or institutions, that you cannot do anything about them, no matter how evil or wrong they are and no matter how dedicated or sincere you are or how much evidence you have. This is simply one of the hard facts of life you have to face.”
Former CIA director and Cercle member William Colby giving advice to his friend senator John DeCamp, urging him to quit his investigations into the Franklin child abuse affair and to write a book about his experiences (The Franklin Coverup, 2nd edition, foreword Second Edition: First printing, December 1996).

Propaganda wars precede hot ones - then continue once fighting starts. Putin is a master chess player, a patient one, a careful strategic planner.
He’s got Obama flummoxed, besting him at his own dirty game. He’s engaged in the war on terrorism in Syria Obama only pretends to wage, fighting Assad, not ISIS.
Putin’s commitment is real. The anti-Russian lying machine wants people to believe otherwise. Believe nothing US officials say or what go-along presstitutes report.
Their job is supporting imperial objectives, suppressing its most dangerous enemy - truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

The basic disagreement between U.S. President Barack Obama and Russian President Vladimir Putin, and the source of the economic sanctions against Russia, and ’the new cold war,’ concerns the question of whether the process by which Crimea separated from Ukraine and joined Russia was, as Obama says, “aggression” by Russia, an illegal “seizure” of Crimea by Russia; or, on the other hand, as Putin says, a thoroughly legal and democratic act by the people of Crimea, to exercise their right of self-determination, via a referendum.

It never rests, now in high gear following Russia’s announced aerial campaign against ISIS in Syria, beginning on September 30.
For the first time since WW II, Russian and US warplanes are bombing the same country - each for entirely different reasons.
Moscow’s campaign aims to defeat ISIS, eliminate its scourge. Washington actively supports it, striking Syrian targets exclusively, duplicitously claiming otherwise.
The US State and Defense Departments’ lying machine sprung into action, criticizing Moscow irresponsibly instead of praising its efforts, vital against terrorists ravaging Syria.

Geopolitical differences between both countries are stark - and irreconcilable because Washington wants it this way, a bipartisan consensus, lunatics in both parties more overtly anti-Russian than their less extremist counterparts.
Regime change is longstanding US policy for almost a century - since the Bolsheviks ousted the Romanovs.
Truman era diplomat George Kennan introduced the concept of containment, calling Soviet Russia inherently expansionist. Cold War politics followed.
It continues under Obama. Putin understands, earlier saying “(w)e have every reason to assume that the infamous policy of containment, led in the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries, continues today."
Western nations are "constantly trying to sweep us into a corner because we have an independent position, because we maintain it, and because we call things like they are and do not engage in hypocrisy."

Following Russia’s announcement, Syrian media said it came in response to President Bashar al-Assad’s request, asking Putin’s help to fight Islamic State terrorists.
On Wednesday, Russia’s upper house Federation Council unanimously approved using air power to fight ISIS and other takfiri terrorists in Syria - responding to Putin’s request, parliamentary authorization a constitutional requirement.
Putin observes Russian and international law principles - unlike Obama and other US presidents operating ad libitum, circumventing the law, doing whatever they please at their own discretion, ruling like despots, terrorizing nations ruthlessly.
Russian Presidential Administration Chief of Staff Sergei Ivanov explained Putin’s move, saying:

US-anointed Ukrainian president Petro Poroshenko is a caricature of a leader - a so-called chocolate king billionaire/oligarch, illegitimately installed in a farcical election.
He’s waged naked aggression on Donbass throughout his tenure, imposed an economic blockade, insists scheduled democratic parliamentary elections be cancelled, failed in his attempt to isolate Crimea, and blames Russia and Donbass freedom fighters for his high crimes.
His General Assembly rant bashed Russia, repeating tired old baseless accusations of “aggression.”
Ludicrously saying “Ukrainian territories occupied by Russia in the Crimea and Donbas region constitute approximately 44,000 square kilometers (16,989 square miles).”
