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.

They are gathered on the northern most point of Saudi Arabia which is less than 300 miles from Damascus. It’s time for you to hang up your ego and stfu!
And what? The Saudis will be smashed before they even get close. I’m sure Jordan and Iraq would have something to say dumbass
Steve White no he didnt.
Um yes we can or as Trump & I say just bomb the$#%&!@*out of them. We definitely don’t need troops on the ground. 2016 now we can fight other ways unlike our primitive counterparts.
That is their part of the world,they will sort it out,stay the hell out of it,,
Medias must bes abstained from terorizing the world when war begins betwee nation saying “Oh world war III” this is bad news.. belive me;no more world war,but if it erupts ,no nation wil survive
sometimes a war is needed to have a change
Let’s be perfectly clear on this matter, I don’t care if they all kill each other.
Its about time they fought for their rights to live the way they want
“Stay out of it” is exactly what they said just prior to entering WWII. Sometimes preemptive strikes could prevent many deaths of our allies.
