- "the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), warned of the humanitarian catastrophe that the offense could cause, saying that the battle could create a million refugees... Some 30,000 Iraqi and Kurdish forces are now up against an estimated 3,000 to 4,500 IS militants in Mosul, where approximately 1 million civilians are now caught in the crosshairs."

Yes, this is Russian news, but you wouldn't expect to find such in Western media would you? Time will reveal the truth. No doubt it'll be hailed as a US-led victory, civilian causalities will be downplayed, and then if all goes to plan the Syrian army will be "unexpectedly" fighting off so many more Islamic terrorists. Watch for it.
Oh, and Hillary Clinton can claim a victory too! Nice move, you got to admit.
