As most of you know, civil war has broken out in Syria. In my view, what makes this instance more threatening is the sheer scale - over 100,000 people have died and millions have fled to neighbouring countries, such as Jordan, where over 10% of the population are Syrian refugees. Not only this, but it has caused international friction, which some may suggest could start a new cold war... or worse.
Should other nations be taking control? Has peaceful settlement been overlooked, or has it been exhausted and failed? If other nations take a side, should they be backing a resented government or scattered bands of militia? What are the effects on nearby countries and is there possible exploitation, such as slavery? Will Assad regime supporters, like Russia, submit to others or will they fiercely defend their political allies, and will this cause war outside of Syria?
Here are a few sources, albeit there are a great many out there:
[Context] Syrian civil war - Wikipedia
Syria civil war: Friends of Syria agree to supply 'all the necessary material' to rebels fighting President Bashar al-Assad - The Independent
Russia Hits Back at U.S. Over Syria - The Wall Street Journal
Gulf-EU tell Iran to play a 'constructive role' in Syrian conflict - albawaba
Note: As per usual, all general forum rules and DnD-specific rules apply. Please respect the views of others and remain polite - you do not need to be rude if you are debating effectively.
Have fun,
