Recent Problems in Syria

Why are we really, in the Middle East ?  In particular what is our country’s involvement in Syria ? how many of  Halls students even know why we are there ?

When asked, many students had a rough idea of what was happening, some had no idea, but the overall consensus was some confusion. I don’t blame them what’s happening in Syria now and for the past 5 year’s been crazy. What is currently happening in Syria and what are involvement.

The overall ties in Syria have been the USA mainly with the side of the rebels fighting the Syrian government regime controlled by Assad.Russia is backing up Assad’s forces against the rebels but we all have one common enemy known as ISIS. This very broad picture of what has been best summed up as a mess.

We currently have a shaky relationships with Russia  using threats of real violence against our forces. This is a bad revelation if we ever hope to get any kind of peace in this area of the world because of our relationship with Russia. There have been two cities that have been in the new recently Aleppo and Mosul.

Aleppo has been in the news for the humanitarian disaster that has been occurring. Russian bombers have been doing runs over the city with countless civilian casualties, and they refuse to leave the city at this time, so if they continue many innocents could be lost and if Russian as well as US officials continue to refuse to join together. This scattered effort will be very inefficient in fixing any of the problems that they currently face today. Mosul is dealing with a very similar situation, except it is a double standard. the US is urging to continue more bombing rather than stopping as they want the Russians to stop in Aleppo.  There are many horrible thing happening in Syria every day and can only hope that we will find away to fix some of the problems they face further in the future and increase our relationships with Russia.
