[quote=Anonymous]It doesn't have the intensity of a prior world war, but the character of the conflict in Syria is now definitely that of a world war.

For those that missed it in the turkey haze:

Israel peppered western Syria with attacks for a few weeks to set the stage, then a bunch of Syrian communication devices exploded.

Turkey opened its border with Syria to allow a bunch of foreign fighters to flood into Syria.

"Moderate terrorist" groups then began a large scale offensive. These "moderate terrorists" were supported by Ukrainian trained and lead units, particularly with drone warfare. They also seemed to drape Turkish flags and flash Turkish cash wherever they appear. The Syrian army does more running than fighting.

The US puts out a weird press release calling the terrorists terrorists, while condemning Assad for not negotiating with them and stating very suspiciously that the US had nothing to do with the attack.

Russia bombs the terrorists and sends a bunch of troops and equipment to support Syria.

Iraqi troops are heading towards Syria to support Assad. Kurdish troops are fighting the "moderate terrorists" in the north currently.

At this point most of the fighters in Syria are not even Syrian, giving this a very global character. We'll see if the intensity continues to ramp up to "real" world war levels, or if this will remain more a Spanish Civil war level conflict. [/quote]
