RT: The US has been highly critical of the Russian anti-terrorist offensive on Aleppo in Syria. How is that any different to the US-led operation in Mosul?

What happened, of course, was the United States Air Force, in its own wisdom, bombed fixed Syrian Army positions -- army positions that had been there for six months. They said it was a "mistake."

There are crocodile tears being shed about what happened in East Aleppo. No one likes destruction and killing, but this could have been avoided had the US Air Force decided to obey the Commander-in-Chief and not attack Syrian Army forces.
