The On The Border With Syria

There are claims that they have been leading fighters from Afghanistan and Lebanon's Shiite movement Hezbollah, which Tehran denies. In the United States President Barack Obama has called Assad a "tyrant" and insisted on his departure since 2011. But Secretary of State John Kerry said Monday that Washington would discuss "options that could perhaps reignite the political process and bring about a political transition in Syria". Washington has spearheaded an anti-IS coalition since September 2014, conducting airstrikes in Syria and Iraq. And in Russia, whose only Mediterranean military base is in Tartus on the Syrian coast, says it is fighting "terrorists", referring to all of Assad's opponents. But the West accuses it of primarily targeting moderate rebels rather than the Islamic State (IS) group.

The countries of France, Turkey, the United States, Germany, Britain, Qutar, and Saudi Arabia; all say that Russia’s actions will “only fuel more radicalization and extremism.” (Michales) Russia’s airstrikes complicate U.S. efforts to build a moderate opposition in Syria, designed to counter the Islamic State there.

The editors of Britannica Encyclopedia bring up how the Syrian War started due to “protestors demanding an end to authoritarian practices in the Assad Regime that have been in place since 1971 under Hafiz al-Assad, Bashar al-Assad’s father” (“Syrian Civil War,” par. 1). With this want of an end of an era rebel militia groups sprung up over a very short period demanding change in the Syrian government. Militias started small by attacking government meetings and targeting specific Syrian government officials. In a little under a year Syrian militias began a full-fledged war between themselves and the Syrian government. Almost immediately after the Syrian War was declared a war the United Nations jumped in to aid the innocent civilians who were being hurt from the weapons of warfare. Since Syria was already a poor area the war only made it worse and left many homeless and exposed to the fighting in the streets. With over 25,000 dead and 2.5 million in need of food, water and medical supplies the Syrian War crisis has received responses from all over the world… but it’s not enough to bring a sense of safety to the innocent people of Syria (Hilleary pars.

3 Marines had been deployed to the North in order to collect intelligence, but had not been told that the NILE team was in the area. This caused a great deal of issues not only for the NILE team but also for the marines who had to infiltrate into the north. From the NILE teams point of view this caused an issue with another group of Americans being inserted without foreknowledge of the team, due to Dept. of Defense and Washington wanting the CIA to stay out of the way from the Dept. of Defense operations. The NILE team eventually met up with the Marines on ground in order to assist them, not only in intelligence that they had already prepared and collected by the time the 3 man team had hit boots on ground, but also to assist them since turkey refused to let them cross into the north with their essential equipment and most importantly, their weapons. (Tucker & Faddis 2009, pg. 80) What caused the NILE team issues repeatedly with the weapons being denied was seen again from Turkey, denying the 3 man marine team to cross without

Ambassador Ross explained however, If Trump didn’t retaliate against the chemical weapons, it would have told the world its okay to use chemical weapons. Furthermore, the missile specifically hit ISIS where it matters: Racca. Racca being their claimed Islamic state capital. Ambassador Ross countered that while the US is prepared to step forward with involvement into the Syria, other states around the area such as Turkey are not fully on board. Turkey has been against this push, mostly due to the proxy war consequences. Due to Fall 2015 and Russians interference that makes a difference. With Russia’s involvement, it changes the balance of power in the Middle East. Wars are no longer conventional warfare, but now have the nuclear potential that scares several states from involving themselves. The Syrian military even had military cuts as large as decreasing their standing army from 250k to only

In Syria there is a war going on, and had been going on for over 5 years. Many people have fled and 400,000 people have been killed. There is this organization called the white helmets and they are designed to save and help people when a bomb hits.

In fact, scud missiles were thrown at some agitators, which demonstrated that, the government of President Assad does not fear using force against humanity for personal interests. As a result, the American batteries would form part of the wider push to reinforce the Turkish defense, which will also include the deployment of additional loyalist including two from the Netherlands and two from Germany (Herring, 28). This clearly shows that policing role of the United

The cover page of this TIME magazine, an issue of 1979 invoked purely the orientalist idea of the Middle East. It represented the faulty equation of Islam= Muslim= Arab= terrorist or religious fanatics.

The part of the Middle East being discussed involves the following: Iraq, Transjordan, Palestine, Syria and Lebanon. All of which were directly impacted by the borders which were set up by European countries in the early 20th century. The borders had benefits of course, but they also brought with them quite a few problems. While the Middle Eastern borders are important to dividing that part of the world into different countries, the borders seem to have brought with them a lot of problems that the people living in this part of the world have had to deal with. There are multiple factors involved with this topic, including a few treaties, the Anglo-Persian Oil Company and the start of World War I. The different treaties were the Sykes-Picot Agreement and the Balfour Declaration, both of which involved European countries deciding the future of these countries. All of these factors had a direct impact on the Middle East and had a lasting effect on the people who live in this area of the world.
