U.S. government support for so called “moderate Syrian opposition” to overthrow the government of Syria is illegal. Not only is it a violation of international law and the UN Charter, which the U.S. signed, it costs American taxpayers millions of dollars and puts American lives at risk!
“Shooting parachutists escaping from a burning plane is defined as a war crime under the Geneva Convention.”

Turkey’s private Dogan news agency later quoted Alpaslan Celik, commander of a brigade of fighters from the Turkmen ethnic group, as saying that Syrian rebels had shot and killed both men, an act that would be a breach of the Geneva Convention.” https://www.independent.co.uk/news/wor…
When asked by RT’s Gayane Chichakyan if the State Department considered the rebels who reportedly killed the Russian pilots “moderates,” Toner replied:
“We’ve seen conflicting reports. One pilot may not have been killed. If these ‘Turkomen’ were actually being attacked by Russian strikes, they have every right to defend themselves.” https://www.rt.com/usa/323339-state-s…
