Don't the RAF claim that their precision missiles don't cause collateral damage and hit only what they are meant to hit?
Don't the Russians just carpet bomb the general vicinity where there might be anti Assad troops?
Aren't these totally different things that should not cause the two operations to never be lumped in together?
If you lived in Cumbria and lost your home and business to the floods, wouldn't you consider your life to have been destroyed?

The Russians are also using precision bombs - KAB 1500 laser guided and their latest video guided bombs which have a camera in the nose (KAB-500OD TV-guided thermobaric). However they are also using cluster bombs, such as the RBK-500U, which are particularly evil. The RAF got a lot of stick for using cluster bombs in Iraq and most of our stockpile of them has now been destroyed. I'm fairly sure the RAF aren't using them in Syria.
War kills civilians, period. Don't believe government propaganda suggesting otherwise. The real difference is that the RAF are bombing IS, but the Russian planes are bombing the rebels while Putin claims they are bombing IS.

Not really making fun of the flooding, but
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-cumbria-35166747 "flooding 'destroyed lives'" seems slightly absurd when the article above is

(Russian airstrikes kill 200 civilians)
[also it seems ridiculous that the Russians are killing civilians, but the RAF are amazing and not killing any civilians]
