We don’t touch on politics as much on our blog as much as we use back in the first few years here but I’ll venture on this topic just a little bit.
I deliberately titled the post the Syrian War instead of the Syrian Civil War. It’s not a Civil War. It might have started as one but it’s now quite international in character. Just today the news mentioned Iran is sending 15,000 troops made up of Iranians, Iraqis and Afghanis to support Assad. ISIS has many foreign fighters. Foreign Fighters are also among the Coalition of Anti-Assad Forces that has recently been successful against Assad. And we haven’t even describe other State players behind this proxy war.
This is the breakdown according to Wikipedia:
Main belligerents |
---|
![]() Allied militias |
