What is happening in Syria?

And then, the dinosaurs appeared...

Wanna give a short version of it for everyone?

You want me to condense the last the last six years of complex middle eastern history into a snappy few sentences!

Well heres what happened.

A few arab countries rose up against their dictators, some where overthrown others not so much.
The hope was that this would lead to a new dawn for democracy, but it left power vacuums which the religious extremist sought to fill.

And of course you have the US and the Russians fighting the usual proxy wars.

In short the whole region is just one big mess.

What I heard went something like American government supplying arms and training civilians to protest against their own government. All for the control of oil and tactical advantage over other countries if they get to set up a base there or something.

Honestly, pool - this is a civil war and a humanitarian nightmare that's been going on for at nearly seven years, and you're only now catching on that something 'is happening in Syria'?  Fuxxake, mate - crawl out from under your rock and switch on the news now and then.

Yes, yes, I know the whole middle eastern ruckus has been going on for a while but there have been a lot of coverage of the Syrian region in the news these past days.

There was a wave of "revolutions" in the Arab World against tyrants and governments. It was called "the Arab spring".

Syria was among the countries that revolted and demanded the change of the current tyrant, who took rule by inheriting it and kept it by the force of the gun.

When people revolted; he opened fire. The army and the police obeyed him, that started a bloody civil war since 2011.









For the common protestor; bullets were the reply of the government.
For the ones who dare to lead or have special traits like education, this was the reply:

Warning: don't open unless you're +18

The years passed, and Syria became no more. Russia took the side of the regime; while the U.S took the side of some factions from the revolting people.

The struggle turned into a proxy war for control between both of the super powers. The war became so bloody; that I'm really surprised you don't know anything about it. I mean Syria is literally a wasteland now, and world war 3 might even start because of it.

Russia went on with its full weight -including fighting jets- and even losing men and machines in the fight, officers from the Spetsnaz are leading the Syrian regime forces, Iran is in the war, Chemical weapons were used:

The above are dead children killed by chemical strikes. BTW this is official, the UN was just discussing it. The world got flipped upside down when this picture came up.

The U.S under Trump launched a Cruise Missile strike against the Syrian regime. If this is not WW3's kick off; IDK what it is.

So the question is not what is happening in Syria; don't ask that because it's stupid and ignorant.
Rather ask: what "happened" on "specific date"?

First of all, it's not a "ruckus". If this is what you call the death of our children, then fuck you. This is a humanitarian tragedy you piece of shit, and a point of shame on humanity, and people like you who call the screams of dying children "ruckus".; one they will never erase. And the ignorance of people like you, calling this tragedy "ruckus" is even more insulting.

Second of all, if you weren't living under a rock, you will know that Russia and Assad have commit another massacre in the previous days. They bombed a city's population -including women and children- randomly, killing about ...IDK...lately the death count exceeded 500:

That is not "Rukus"; asshole. That is a tragedy. This have been going all across Syria since 2011.
