News from Aleppo: "aerial bombardments, hospitals drstroyed, people killed". Source of information: a guy who lives in UK but who prefers to call himself Syrian observatory for human rights.

News from Mosul: "casualties among government soldiers, some suicude bombers, himanitarian aid distributed". And no aerial bomnardments, no-o-o!!! Source of information: Iraqi army spokeperson.

Western propaganda machine in its usual crap mode.

Burning BushNOV. 20, 2016 - 07:19AM JST How many civilians have been killed? Not even one?

Certainly not 300k plus like your own Syrian adventure.

Are the coalition airstrikes targeting every single medical facility in Mosul ? It's pretty easy to sit back and laugh at Russian trolls trying to compare this to their on barbary in Syria.

Are you sure that not a million? I see you guys can claim anything, any facts or numbers, never bothering about supporting it with any proof.

May be, I don't know. You have only NATO-friendly media there that would not report any unpleasant facts.

The difference is that the Iraqi government has a stake in what happens to these people in Mosul.

(Now ask: why would Assad care what happens to the people of Aleppo?)

Why would the Iraq government care about what happens to these people? Because it's what's keeping Iraq together - otherwise, the partition of Iraq would be inevitable. (The Baghdad government doesn't want the country to separate into pieces.)

And there's the important difference.
