The USA-coalition campaign in Mosul, Iraq is inflicting more than double the weekly civilian casualties as happened throughout the campaign to retake Aleppo, Syria.
In other words, it's a disaster - which is why Western mainstream news media is putting up all these stories about Russia, Syria, Assad, etc, to shield public awareness from the atrocities being caused by the West in Mosul, Iraq.

But this is, sadly, a normal Westerns news media propaganda tactic.
