Col. Richard Black Statement on Turkey/Syria Earthquake

On Monday, there was a terrible earthquake that hit Turkey and Syria. It was a 7.8 on the Richter scale; a shallow earthquake that was very damaging. It has hit Syria’s second largest city, Aleppo, and done enormous damage and created many casualties. The Biden administration has sent aid to Turkey, has reached out to them, has aid workers going there. However, the United States State Department chose this time of death and suffering to make a very antagonistic statement towards the people of Syria. There was a fellow Ned Price, a spokesman for the State Department, who said, “I will make the point that it will be quite ironic if not counterproductive for us to reach out to a government that has brutalized its people over the course of a dozen years now. Gassing and slaughtering them, being responsible for much of the suffering they’ve endured.“ I have got to tell you, I have never seen such barbaric response to a tragedy where you literally have people in Aleppo city, Syria
