Hillary Hawk Down: Russia refutes Clinton's chopper claims

The Syrian capital has been rocked by a powerful blast that's left 10 people wounded. A suicide bomber set off a car bomb near one of the holiest Shia shrines, which attracts tens of thousands of pilgrims from around the world. It's believed the blast was targeting a 'security-police department' office located nearby. The explosion came just days after the release of a video in which al-Qaeda's second-in-command called on Islamists 'to help rebel groups fight Syrian government forces'. Syria's ambassador to Moscow says the opposition is using increasingly violent tactics to pave the way for foreign intereference.

The Syrian ambassador has also denied that Moscow's supplying the Assad regime with attack helicopters - allegations earlier also refuted by the Russian Foreign Minister. RT's Lucy Kafanov looks at where the claims came from - and the robust response that followed.

Hillary is a cog in the political machine hence devoid of the emotional intelligence and the kind of integrity needed to be secretary of state. She's a manipulator and a very bad one at that..

[Иван Петров]

По большому счету всех ваших правителей, начиная с Буша-старшего, надо грузить в трюм и везти в Гаагу, под суд. Обоих Бушей за Ирак, клинтона за Югославию, Обаму за весь арабский мир. После их деятельности оставались только разруха, террор, хаос и нищета. Это ваша долбаная демократия? Если да, то насаждайте её у себя дома, а не по всему миру. И тогда, может, вас будут любить, а не плеваться при слове "Америка".

There are German people and there are NAZI's.

There are Jewish people and there are ZIONIST's.

Neither necessarily involve a particular race.

You are too much of an uneducated bigot to know the difference.
