I didn't want to do this . . .

I felt I didn't have time to argue over something so ridiculous, which is really off topic for this blog, but I'd like to set the record straight. The claim that the United States is responsible for the Syria civil war, and that it would have been over in a year if the U.S. hadn't supplied weapons to the rebels, is preposterous. Sorry, but that is Russian propaganda, and that's what concerns me. There is a Wikipedia page, in fact, that details all of the weapons used by Syrian rebels and what is known about where they came from. Much of their weaponry was captured or taken from stockpiles. Some of it came from Iran or the Gulf states. Many Chinese and Soviet weapons were in the hands of rebels, probably supplied by Saudi Arabia or other Gulf states. In fact the majority of heavy weaponry in the hands of the rebels was of Soviet origin, probably coming from Saudi Arabia. The rebels also had WWII era weaponry from various European countries. The U.S. provided small arms to a limited number of groups, all of them in the region near the Iraqi border and in Kurdish held territory in the north.

The Russian destruction of Aleppo from the air was the most appalling incident of the war, and the U.S. had absolutely nothing to do with it. Aleppo is in the northwest of the country hundreds of miles from anywhere the U.S. was involved. You're free to argue about the righteousness of U.S. involvement, but to claim that it was the cause of the war or even prolonged it in any way is just not true.

WTF does this have to do with the Sony pictures hack?
