Do you remember the rhetoric about Aleppo and Russia about this time last year?

#Aleppo is joining Rwanda and Srebrenica as defining historical events that embody evil. #Assad, #Russia, #Iran know no shame.

“To everyone who can hear me: We are here exposed to a genocide in the besieged city of Aleppo,” she said. “This may be my last video. More than 50,000 of civilians who rebelled against the dictator al-Assad are threatened with field executions or dying under bombing.”

It sounds absolutely horrific, and it was.

The government assault has been backed by heavy artillery fire and air strikes, with at least 463 civilians, including 62 children, killed in eastern Aleppo since mid-November, according to the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR).

However, with today's news our double standards are showing.
East Aleppo was bombed by Russia and Syria. Mosul was bombed by America.

Between 9,000 and 11,000 people were killed in the nine-month battle to recapture the Iraqi city of Mosul from the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant group (ISIL), an Associated Press (AP) investigation has found.

The civilian casualty rate is nearly 10 times higher than that previously reported.

Iraqi or coalition forces are responsible for at least 3,200 civilian deaths from air raids, artillery fire or mortar rounds between October 2016 and the fall of ISIL in July 2017, according to the AP investigation.

If 500 dead civilians in Aleppo is "genocide", what is 6 times as many dead civilians in Mosul?

Also, there was only around 3,000 ISIS militants in Mosul, not all of them died.

UK-based Airwars believes between 1,022 and 1,524 civilians were killed in airstrikes launched by the U.S. and its coalition allies in and around Mosul.

It's all over now. At least until the next war.
