Syria: Syrian Crisis




Syrian Showdown 

Tensions are at all time high with the ongoing civil war in Syria, which has been raging since 2011. President Bashar al-Asaad has been refusing to step down from U.S. and UN demands to stop committing acts of genocide against his own people, President Donald Trump has warned on a preeminent strike against Syria and has given a warning to Russia that they too might face U.S. wrath. 

There is a critical danger of the futility of Donald Trump's lack of experience and commonsense on geopolitical issues and the consequences from a military strike against Syria. For one thing, Syria isn't Iraq, Syria has the backing of Russia and China, two Superpowers that can be a show of force to the Unites States.

Bashar al-Assad is not a good guy in any way shape or form but again the United States messes up with their foreign policy, whatever Asaad is doing is a internal problem within Syria he is not threatening his neighbors or the world and Syria doesn't have WMDs as bad as he is he is part of the checks and balances in the region. By removing him from power creates a power vacuum and more instability in a already unstable region of the world that most of the wars are caused by religion and geopolitical factions, certain autocrats keeps stability and certain groups in check.

The United States cannot afford another war that will defiantly cost millions of lives to be lost and bring the world to bring of WW3. We need to resolve the Syrian Crisis through diplomacy and through more sanctions and more pressure. The only people that will be affected will be the Syrian people whom has no fault in what Assad is doing.

The Syrian people are the only ones that have the power and the right to decide what to do with Assad NOT the United States, Russia or China. When others meddle in the internal affairs of the Arabs the end result is being stung repeatedly like bees sting a bear when the bear tries to eat the honey from the beehive.
