Two questions if I may:
1) Why are there two separate threads for Syrian war (one Syrian war news and the other Russian military involvement and aid to Syria), why not keep it all together, since both are very related to eachother it is easier to keep them updated and we would have everything in one place instead?
2) Why is this thread named "Syrian Civil War"? In reality, this conflict is everything but a civil war. "Conflict in Syria", "War in Syria" or something along those lines would be much closer to reality in my opinion. We are not Wikipedia
Thanks.
1. This is a Russian site so it makes sense to have their involvement split out for easy browsing
2. It was originally, before the import of thousands of foreigners, a civil war. It may not be as clear now but that was the root.
Also, you mentioned reality, so, on a more important note, if you really must comment on the poster that you have just commented on, please do not include his post as a quote as many on here have him on ignore and quoting him bypasses that. Thanks in anticipation.
1. In some cases specialization is neseccary if someone wants to find and read info only in russian intervention, otherwise all these info would be lost in a huge general thread
2. Yes it started as a civil war then foreign fighters-terrorists involved.
I would like to add also:
1. Russia's involvement isnt only by military means but with information, diplomatic support, weapons deliveries and has also consequences to other fields (like russia-turkish relations, russia's role in middle east) so all these together make the necessity of a separate thread
2. Civil war dimension i think still exists, for example recently we had government forces vs kurds. Or shunni groups (which come from syrian shunni population) vs syrian army
). Meanwhile, sectarianism and hate was heavily promoted by massacres and various atrocities committed by these criminals and home-grown terrorist sleeper cells, bodies were dumped into rivers, villages attacked, people executed... Sell-outs started defecting from the army and government when the time was right, bomb attacks and assassinations of military officials and important figures began and when Syrian state apparatus was weakened they sent in the foreign Jihadist terrorists. Villages, cities, army bases and airports started falling and the full blown war began. Iranians got involved, Russians got involved. Heck, the capital Damascus itself almost fell in the early stage, but the attack was stopped by IRGC which was deployed after everyone realized what is going on and how serious the situation is.
