Burden of Proof

That 'a little bird told' logic doesn't work, Washington should have learned this a long time ago. If US forces bombed the MSF hospital in Afghanistan's Kunduz 'by mistake,’ it doesn't automatically mean Russia did the same in Syria. Especially when there is no proof.

United States officials persist in claiming that Russian military aircraft hit a hospital in Syria but they refuse to share any information relating to the alleged incident.

"What we're saying is that we have seen information that Russia is targeting civilian infrastructure. And we would point you to Syrian NGOs on the ground as well as open source reporting on that," US State Department spokeswoman Elizabeth Trudeau said during a press briefing on Monday.
