>>4282008The civil unrest and violence actually started around 2011-2012, and the worst year was 2015. The only reason it's still going on right now is because literally every regional power and 1 super power (US) are putting their cards in the Syria game, the US covertly has 1,500 service members in Syria right now, with full air support (the 215 Russian mercenaries that got massacred in Feb. for attacking US positions were blown to bits from 4 AH-64 Apaches and field artillery from miles away, their leader reported everything that happened to a French news journalist). While Turkey shot down a Russian jet a couple years ago and is currently assaulting northern Syria (Kurds and rebel forces are their targets, since ISIS is not in the area) with tanks and troops.
