Foreign and defence ministers of the leading international states are meeting in Munich and Brussels following the collapse of the latest round of peace talks
Russia warned of “a new world war" starting in Syria on Thursday after a dramatic day in which Gulf states threatened to send in ground forces.
Foreign and defence ministers of the leading international states backing different factions in the war-torn country met in separate meetings in Munich and Brussels following the collapse of the latest round of peace talks.
Both Russia and the United States demanded ceasefires in the long-running civil war so that the fight could be concentrated against Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isil) - but each on their own, conflicting terms.

There is nothing odd, or overstated in this headline - such times we live in.
All the planets appear to be lining up.
At this point, what is left in Syria? Are they just bombing larger rubble into smaller pieces of rubble? Just nuke it and be done with it.
Evacuate the Christians and leave the rest to hell on earth.
We were not invited by a sovereign nation to fight insurgents. I don’t want to go unless I’m invited!! Assad had done absolutely NOTHING to this country. We need to GET OUT. Bush wants to shoot down russian Jet’s in his “no Fly ZONE” Really?????????????????????? Thiat is “dr. strange love” MADNESS!! What a loose canon!!
btt
If so...not a single American live is to be given for Muslims fighting Muslims.
Wish you were President.
Eventually - a hook in the jaw for Ezekiel 38.
For the time being, Obama got the mess rolling in Libya, Egypt and Syria. While letting Iraq and Afghanistan fall in lots of ways.
OK, Thursdays a go. WW3 starts: WW2 ROE. Pick your team and place your bets.
Maybe Obama will get another Peace Prize for starting a third World War in this upside down world.
“Russia warned of “a new world war” starting in Syria on Thursday...”
Yippee, it’s almost Friday so I guess the danger has passed.
But the situation is not that simple and the solution is not that simple. The problem is not just Isis or primitive Muslim barbarians beheading people at whim or even blowing up people in Paris. The problem is there is another potential enemy, equipped with nuclear weapons ranging from Russia and the Black Sea all the way through Iran, Iraq, Syria to the Mediterranean and God knows where else. I posted this reply in September 2015:

Consider the implications:
Assad is supported by Teheran
Tehran supported by Moscow
Assad is now openly and militarily supported by Moscow
We have a Moscow/Teheran/Damascus axis
The participation of Russian warplanes in active combat suggests that the Russians are in Syria to stay. They certainly will have an airbase from which they can strike Israel and change the balance of power in the region. Expect them to become active in bombing Isis in Iraq as well, thus extending the Iran's hold over Iraqi the more.
The Russians are already being accommodated in a Mediterranean port by the Syrians and the airpower only compliments the Naval element, protects it, and augments it.
The presence of Russian warplanes in the area makes it much less likely that a new Republican president will strike militarily against Iran's nuclear facilities. Likewise, the Israelis have a new dimension on their flank should they choose to strike.
The entire balance of power will now shift toward the new Moscow/Tehran/Damascus axis which will be armed with nuclear capacity in Damascus, or potentially so, with Russian warplanes and very soon on the eastern Teheran edge with the same.
It may be that the Hillary Clinton/Barack Obama policy has brought us to this place but we also ought not to forget that the beginning of the chain of consequences began with our invasion of Iraq.
Saudi Arabia can do squat against tribal militias in Yeman right on their own border. In fact, they are getting their asses handed to them.
There is no way they could forward deploy up to 100,000 troops over 1000 kms away in Syria.
Talk about convergence of global signs.....wow.
Yes, it all began with Iraq, and now that country is ruined.
