List of armed groups in the Syrian Civil War
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_a ... _Civil_War

As we can see there are more than 100 different groups, amongst the anti Assad group there features Turkey very prominently. This says a lot about the situation in Syria.

What a bloody mess!

And Assad created it didn't he? fact is, it is sectarian, and one side can't obliterate and have the other under its thumb forever. This is the end result. We saw it in Ireland as well.

As Syria is a secular society and has a secular government ........ please explain, with some evidence, that your supposition has any merit!

Syria was a secular society with constitutional freedom of faith. Until the so called " Arab spring" Syrians enjoyed peace and stability.
I don't understand why Paphitis makes the statements that he does, where does he get his information from ?
Sooner rather than later the west will realize what a mess it helped to create in Syria with its support of, mostly jihadist groups, Assad is not going anywhere, without him Syria will be broken into a myriad of islamic cantons all ruled by jihadists.

the assad regime can hardly be constitutional with power going from father to son. the arab spring was to democratise syria, unfortunately the yanks and the israilis hyjacked it and not helped to create this mess but actually created it. blaming the arab spring in any way for the current mess is beyond belief.

If we could hijack the spring we would have been able to save mubarak and save Egypt from a disaster.

we didn't tell Assad to shoot protesters you know and had nothing to do with Syria at any level until 2015 when we started to chase ISIL.

you are such an idiot. you are cluless to what is going around. america and isarel started arming the free syrian army in 2010 which is when the west armed and trained isil. as to mubarak even america could not save mubarak so instead they put to power a general called sisi to crush the arab spring.

No they didn't!

This only started to happen in 2016. kurds were armed from early 2015.

You carry on living in your insular dream world ......... it is fact that in both Syria and Ukraine (as well as host of other countries) it was the US behind the troubles in both countries, before it even became news. It always is ..... but they blame every one else when things go pear shaped, for their own war crimes and disregard for International Law. The list is endless!

Talking about proof, where is yours!

The USA has been clear about not supplying anyone and even made a big show about having to vet exactly who they would supply weapons to, for the simple reason that it is illegal to supply to terrorist organisations on the terrorist list.

FSA only got cleared in early 2016. Kurds were taken off in early 2015.

But I would start thinking about that NO FLY ZONE the coalition is talking about unilaterally declaring over Aleppo.

Where on earth do you unearth your information. According to this:
But besides the fact that he clearly did support the policy at the time, it’s ridiculous for another reason: years before Congress approved the $500m program to arm the Syrian rebels, the CIA had been running its own separate Syrian rebel-arming program since at least 2012. It was reported prominently by the New York Times at the time and approved by the president.

Straight from the horses mouth - that would be Clinton and Hollande.

Did you watch the debate? She said it right there, there she would invoke safe havens and NO FLY ZONES!

And I actually anticipate Obama is going to start it all off.

So good luck, because you are going to need it if that happens.

I wouldn't be trusting anything the Guardian has to say either. There has been no weapons program from 2012 and you don't have a single piece of evidence or photo of even one American Supplied Gun, helmet or body Armour. Not one!

very interesting and still no mention of Pootin visiting Istanbul to see his bum pal Erdogan. Mmmmmm

here is another interesting fact. the Pootin/ERDOGAN relationship looks a whole lot more cosy and US/Turkish relations at the moment.

So when is Pootin going to kick the Turks out fellas?
