Amnesty International and others have confirmed a US-led coalition attack on Raqqa, Syria that caused the death of 1,600 people in 2017. The Pentagon continues to downplay the human toll of the attack. Amnesty’s report also raises new questions about the “White Helmets,” much-lionized by the West as “neutral rescue-workers.” RT America’s Michele Greenstein joins Rick Sanchez to discuss the real nature of the White Helmets. We’ll also hear from the director of the Foundation for the Study of Democracy.
