The civil was in Syria is a disaster, not just for that country, but for the world at large. Obviously it is presenting a problem to Europe and the United States as refugees come streaming in from Syria along with tens of thousands of other migrants from Africa and other Middle Eastern countries who are claiming to be from Syria. But that is but a small part of the larger problem which threatens to escalate to a wide spread conflagration, with one Russian leader stating that it could be the fuse to starting World War III.
There are major and minor players, with the U.S., Russia, Iran, ISIS, and Saudi Arabia taking larger roles and the situation spins out of control. Saudi Arabia is even preparing to send troops into Syria, further destabilizing the situation and bringing in the potential for worldwide conflict.
Syrian president Bashar al-Assad is determined to retain control, even if his country is left as nothing but rubble. The newest and most unstable entrant into the fracas is Turkey, and Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan is unpredictable in which way he will go, but he surely has an agenda that has nothing to do with the outcome of a Syrian civil war, and much more to do with unrest in his own country.
And then there are the Russians who are skillfully taking advantage of the entire situation. They have been especially astute in filling the void that the United States left as President Obama dithered and hesitated, trying to find the best political stratagem.
Having criticized President Bush and the Republican leadership for their more proactive stance in world affairs, Obama finds himself hamstrung when the world is in need of a leader who will take action. Obama won’t, and Russian president Putin will. And so the power and prestige has shifted.
Syria conflict unraveling, see the video on page 2:
Yea! Kill each other by the millions.
So much for the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize! BHO’s arrogance and incompetence has started Cold War II, Civil War II and will make him the president who started WW III. He’s going to get ALOT of people killed.
I believe that BHO has already ignited a global conflagration: 2014 smelled like 1914. Don’t be surprised if 2016 is the year of global conflagration.
In 1914, a regional conflict between Serbia and the Austrian-Hungarian Empire exploded into World War I. Too many of my English, Scottish, American & German relatives died in that CF.
BHO has aggravated a similar environment of distrust, fear and uncertainty; this time, however, the worst weapons of war can exterminate billions in less than an hour.
Countries with nukes: United States, China, France, Russia, United Kingdom, India & Pakistan.
Iran, Israel, North Korea?
“The Nobel Peace Prize 2009 was awarded to Barack H. Obama ‘for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples’.”

Thanks for the Dope & Change, BHO!
Very scary times. Know ur lord.
I blame Obama ! Now were all gonna be infected by this an here comes world war 3 but Isis is contained ! Threes no place for you to hide when your out of are white house !
We needed been working on our own Country so we could be prepared for these types of Action and yes I agree with Robert M, Obama is the biggest$#%&!@*that has continued to destroy our country and bringing in Terrorists that have been attacking us from within, putting us and Our Country at risk, and we’re not as much of a supporter to our allies as we have been in the past. This So called President needs taken out of our White house and thrown into Guantanamo. Once that has been accomplished then maybe we can rebuild our Military if we have time, and bring back all those Amirals, Captains, and Officers that were Forced to retire before their time “BY THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION” Talk about F@#$%^ Treason.
Just think Obama goes and plays golf while the middle east is on fire.
We can thank All our Liberals and those that Voted for Obama twice! If we had a “REAL” American for President this Kind of stuff would have been slowed or Halted completely.
Here it comes assholes
is this true??
