The Syrian civil war is now a mixture of various contradictions, and it is already a pot of porridge. There is no justice and injustice.
The Syrian war has certain characteristics of religious war, which is accompanied by a large number of war atrocities, which are carried out by both sides at the same time. For example, the 30-year War, the 7-year War and the Crusades in Europe are all religious wars, and according to clausewitz and Giomini, religious wars are the most stupid.
The origin of the Syrian civil war itself is that Syria itself has not resolved its internal contradictions. The internal contradictions in the Middle East countries are generally very serious, mixed with tribal and religious issues. For example, the Syrian civil war itself could not create enough employment opportunities because of the weak economic development in Syria, which was similar to the situation in other Arab countries at that time. The Arab Spring? The movements are all similar. Moreover, although these countries have the shell of modern countries, the vested interests among them are all a specific tribe. For example, Syria is Alawite, accounting for about 15 ~ 25% of the Syrian population, but occupying the overwhelming majority of the highest power. Now Bashar is trying to expand his ruling level. Just like his wife, he is not an Alawite woman. Bashar relaxed his control over the country at the beginning of his coming to power.
Are you online? The Arab Spring? At the beginning of the movement, Bashar actually wanted to give up, that is, to step down gracefully, but the opposition wanted to liquidate, so if he really stepped down, it would not only be Bashar's personal problem, but the whole Alawite faction might face the end of sectarian cleansing. This kind of thing was done by sects in the Middle East, so Alawites vowed to resist, and for religious reasons, Iran, which is also a Shiite, began to provide assistance, so Bashar also survived the most difficult time.
The Assad family itself is a Shiite, and now Bashar's wife is a Sunni. Their marriage can be regarded as a symbol of sectarian reconciliation. After all, the means of ancient intermarriage can indeed play a certain role in resolving contradictions, but it seems that this means is not very effective in Syria.
