The story of a man from Aleppo

From Alfred: "An acquaintance of mine who found out that I was born in Aleppo, Syria made a comment to me about how the Russians are killing many civilians and must be really hated "in that part of the world". I said Yes, the Russians have killed a couple thousand civilians in their military intervention. But, our American government have killed hundreds of thousands of civilians "in that part of the world". He looked confused and shocked that I said something like that and did not reply."
