  Most Western media report on Mosul being infested by "ISIS" and being "liberated" by the Iraq/US coalition, whereas Aleppo is a stronghold of "resistance" and viciously "attacked" by the Syria/Russia coalition. Of course, no proofs are given of any way, and it blatantly ignores reports that in Syria, "rebels" and "ISIS" are mostly one and the same, with individual fighters simply fighting for whomever pays better at the moment.

    I try to maintain an open mind, and an air of distrust over things I read and things governments do. However Russia has form for brutality, wether they are liberating or conquering, or both. Russia might mean well (I don't believe they do, as with a lot of government actions), but I would tend to believe reports that whatever their motives they were going about it in an un-necessarily violent way.

      US attacked and destroyed 4 countries (well, only 3 officially, and supporting "rebels"/ISIS in Syria) in the past 15 years, and you're accusing Russia of brutality?!

        Yup, the US doing something doesn't mean Russia didn't.
