If true, this is interesting. The video could just be Syrian government propaganda. Near the end of the video the woman narrating the video made a comment that seemed supportive of the Syrian government. However, what we have been seeing on the news might be propaganda. Is someone pushing the story of starving people in Madaya in the hopes that a large scale American invasion of Syria will be launched in order to help to supposedly starving people?

The Red Cross/Red Crescent was finally able to get in last night with food, according to BBC4 report. I believe a few people (a dozen?) have already died of starvation.


And I'm NOT in favor of us being in Syria or anywhere else in the ME. No blood for oil or regime change!
