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.

No we are not. We are staying out of this one. Russia is friends and we lost our opportunity, in fact we created Isis because of it. Yes it actually was a misguided effort originally to get rid of Assad but I think we have destabilized the region enough. We do not want blood and money spilled and we certainly do not want anymore refugees.
Both Republicans and Democrats are scared. Even Obummer is trying to tell us that we can’t vote for Trump and we must be stupid. We are too stupid to handle a gun and too stupid to vote. It’s because we are not conforming to what the Establishment and society is choosing for us. People can’t believe that the silent majority is finally standing up and choosing who WE want not who they want us to pick. They cannot control us and that’s why they are scared. They don’t want Trump because the Trump Train will stop the Gravy Train. Lots of power and money at stake. TRUMP is self funding..let’s look straight ahead and don’t get side tracked. We are making history. Next election won’t be as hard because people will know that we all have a choice. American land of the free to vote for whoever you want! We the people vote for TRUMP 2016!
It is coming . ready up
Isn’t this written in a book somewhere?
Sure is & it doesn’t end well.
The Saudis just need to get blown off the map and be done with those boneheads. Turkey, pretty much useless. Let the Kurds have it after they wipe out the Turks.
not far from reality folks wake up and pay attention
