This, after years of bombing civilians and providing support to anti-government militants, leading to the proliferation of terrorists who kidnap, imprison, torture, maim, and murder the same Syrian civilians.<\/p>\n<p>Just weeks after these barbaric sanctions were enforced, cue American crocodile tears about Syrian suffering, and claims that Moscow and Damascus are allegedly preventing the delivery of humanitarian aid. More hot air from American hypocritical talking heads who don\u2019t actually care about Syrians\u2019 wellbeing.<\/p>\n<p>America trigger-happily sanctions many nations or entities that dare to stand up to its hegemonic dictates.
