The legal situation on the international system:

  4. International Criminal Court: Under Article 8(2)(b)(xxvi) and (e)(vii) of the 1998 ICC Statute, “conscripting or enlisting children under the age of fifteen years” into armed forces or groups constitutes a war crime in both international and non-international armed conflicts.

It says Ejder Yalcin but it’s one of those Armored F550 ford chassis vehicles
It was quite fun!!
I havent seen something like this as a person who survived from DonBass war.
İt was real contact or ambush. Usually normal fighters dont do that:)
They must have taken the advantage of being in the Ejder.

Still no source I see. And you're pretty gullible to think that picture is evidence, lol. Try putting an AK beside a newborn baby. Same effect.

You obviously have reading comprehension problems or are too foolish to realize how ignorant you are. The FSA is know to use child soldiers, plenty of photos of it exists but you accuse the US of breaking international laws because the Kurds have been known to use child soldiers.

I asked you to show me evidence of US soldiers fighting alongside child soldiers. You could not but insist on the US breaking international law.

The fact is, you are accusing the US of doing the same thing Turkey is doing; evidence has proven both the FSA and Kurds use child soldiers both the US and Turkey are affiliated with those groups. Your argument is stale and hypocritical.









So there are photos of Kurdish children with weapon in a war zone fighting with Americans?








I'm not sure what Russia has do do with any of this other then the fact that you are changing the subject because you dug yourself into a hole. I further find it laughable that you just tell me do find this information myself but can't actually provide it yourself :lol:


But please share your amazing google research on these mystical Russian chemical attacks because I could not find any evidence. Not even circumstantial evidence such as photos of chemical weapons at any Russian base. Anyone that claims Russia has used chemical weapons or barrel bombs in Syria are compete idiots.

- Photos of child soldiers of PKK terrorists directly allied with USA are available, Unlike FSA in Olive Branch and Euprathes Shield, as you admitted, However, it is still you expecting me to prove your claim to myself.

- Russians and Mullahs' attacks including chemical ones on civilians are documented, checked out via google; in your case the denial is comfirmed via your laugh.

I am out till encountered with arguments, no time to waste after seeing this:
