What’s Happening in Syria?

This week the west’s Foreign Ministers met in Munich, and mainly
focused on what’s happening in Syria. Even though there are already
hundreds of thousands of casualties in the war in Syria, in Munich (they)
treat it like a big strategic game. The Russians do whatever they want in
Syria. Turkey and Saudi, which the war threatens, want to go into Syria in
a military operation. The Foreign Ministers were able to write an
agreement, which Assad doesn’t really accept, and even they don’t really
believe can actually succeed. The world’s diplomacy is pessimistic, and
isn’t really doing anything in Syria.
