From last year:

Last Thursday UN-backed peace talks between representatives of the Syrian government and rebel factions resumed in Geneva, but progress, such as it was, stalled over the weekend when suicide bombers loyal to a the rebel alliance Tahrir al-Sham killed 42 people in the government-held Syrian city of Homs.

Tahrir al-Sham consists of rebel factions that include Nour al-Din al-Zinki (recipients of US funding as recently as 2015), which gained worldwide attention when its members cut the head off of a child last summer; and the allegedly moderate US-funded rebel group Fastaqim, which recently allied itself with Ahrar al-Sham, which itself adheres to an extreme Salafist ideology and is a constituent part of Tahrir al-Sham.

A July 2016 report by Amnesty International condemned both Nour al-Din al-Zinki and Ahrar al-Sham for committing “serious violations of international humanitarian law, including abductions, torture and summary killings.”

Saudi-led, American-fuelled.

So they had a battalion of infantry hiding under the wedding cake?

“Human shields” has become the military equivalent of “stop resisting”. It primarily serves as an excuse for massacring civilians.

Liberal normalisation of collaboration with fascism almost complete:

A weird thought: the Stasi had so many paid informants that their payoffs probably formed a key part of the East German economy.
