They've got a good point. At least the US has a media environment where reporters are digging around instead of being tamed lapdogs of the government. This would never have seen the light of day in Russia, let alone an admission by their armed forces. To people who are calling this a whataboutism, it's worth pointing out that Russia was intimately involved in making Aleppo a bombed out wasteland. I assure you that they killed many civilians and will never hold themselves accountable.
