Simply incredible. If you didn't think Vladimir Putin was evil before, wait until you see this. He makes ISIS cultural destruction look like an amateur job:
Here you can see Russian engineers scouting the area of Aleppo's ancient citadel, looking for a place to set their explosive charges...
This is just sickening...not satisfied with just blowing stuff up, one Russian soldier is torturing a dog, jerking him by a chain. Another soldier taunts a Syrian child with a watermelon slice before blowing her to kingdom come...
The historic Aleppo citadel the Russians are working to blow...
An engineer lays an explosive charge to commit an act of shameless destruction...
Here we can see one of the Russian attack dogs which has caught the trail of one of the few children to survive Putin's onslaught...
Where these killers tread, death follows in their wake...
A Russian soldier can be seen with a metal container small enough to hold the body of a newborn child...
And here's the Russian Defense Ministry's sickening Twitter post describing what they were doing...

Oh.
Turns out the Russians were risking their lives to save Syrians from getting killed by unexploded ordanance - ordanance they didn't even shoot.
I must have been reading too much mainstream media lately.
