Question

1. What is the similarity of syrian civil war with cold war? 2. What is the difference of syrian civil war with cold war?

Answer 1

Syrians have been caught in a never-ending conflict that has claimed thousands of lives and displaced millions. Initially, the Syrian civil war was dismissed as merely another Arab Spring conflict. Today, however, Syria is a battleground for several interested parties, the most important of whom are the United States and Russia. The engagement of these two main actors recalls political scientists of the Soviet invasion in Afghanistan, which wreaked havoc on the country.
