Syrian Civil War

The United States and Russia have criticized each other on the issue of Russia's air attacks on Syria. Russia helps Assad regime, but America and allies want to help anti government groups. 

In the Arab Spring movements, militaries helped anti government side, but Syria's military has been supporting Assad regime. That's a big difference. To make things worse, even though there are lots of conflicts there, anti government side has ISIS. More over, secretary Ban lead the UN doesn't work well like other problems. Meanwhile, many citizens have been escaping from Syria as refugees. 

This is the problem of Syrian people, but unless The U.S. and Russia reach an agreement on the issue, this civil war will never end. That's so sad.
