What does four years of war do to a city?

[drneglector]

The city of Homs was at the heart of the revolt against Assad in 2011, and was one of the first urban areas to be overrun by the Syrian rebels. It was a stronghold for the FSA for several years, and was under siege by the Syrian Army until very recently. So what does four years of war do to a city?

A Russian state media outlet recently flew a drone over Homs, and captured the eerie devastation. Homs is pretty much a ghost town now. It looks like the aftermath of a nuclear blast. What was once a bustling metropolitan area with a population of 800,000 people, is now an empty shell of its former self.

Unless we change our ways the whole world may end up looking like the city of Homs. Sadly, depending on where you live, one might say “the future is now”.

US-NATO Invade Libya To Fight Terrorists Of Own Creation

By David on 3rd February 2016

‘Up to 6,000 troops are being sent to invade and occupy Libya, seizing oilfields allegedly
threatened by terrorists NATO armed and put into power in 2011. The London Telegraph,
almost as a footnote, reports of a sizable Western military force being sent in on the
ground to occupy Libya in an operation it claims is aimed at fighting the so-called
“Islamic State” (ISIS). In its article, “Islamic State battles to seize control of key
Libyan oil depot,” it reports:

Under the plan, up to 1,000 British troops would form part of a 6,000-strong joint
force with Italy – Libya’s former colonial power – in training and advising Libyan
forces. British special forces could also be engaged on the front line.

One would suspect a 6,000-strong foreign military force being sent into Libya would
be major headline news, with debates raging before the operation even was approved.
However, it appears with no debate, no public approval, and little media coverage, US,
British, and European troops, including Libya’s former colonial rulers – the Italians –
are pushing forward with direct military intervention in Libya, once again.’

‘Reconstruction’ of Gaza: Zero Buildings, Massive Profit for Israel

‘The last Israeli attack on Gaza left at least 2,000 Palestinians killed and 17,000 homes destroyed,
rendering over 110,000 people homeless and turned much of the strip to rubble. In the aftermath
of Israel’s blatant violations of International Humanitarian Law, the already existing humanitarian
crisis in the besieged Gaza Strip has been further worsened.

Not only did Israel manage to avoid accountability measures, but it has also benefited economically
from the runis it has caused. The case study of Nesher, the sole Israeli cement producer, shows how
Israeli construction market makes profit from the destrucion Israel has caused in the Gaza Strip.’

Guess the up-loader made the video private. I fixed the link, it should be working now. Thanks for letting me know.

It is now unavailable. I watched it about 12 hours ago and it played alright. It seems THEY don't want it to be seen.
