Complicated Syria

The Syrian war has become more complicated as Western powers have strengthened their resolve and have dedicated more firepower toward this country. The interests of Western powers like Russia, France, and the U.S. will certainly have an affect upon this crisis and how it develops in the future.


This article in the Wall Street Journal highlights the many facets of these battles and how there are many players. The Syrian army, rebels and ISIS forces have all collided together, and with the international community becoming more involved things will certainly only become more complicated.


This region is extremely unstable, and ISIS is a constant threat. With so many groups converging with a great variety of interests, no matter who wins the war the path to peace will be fraught with conflict.
