Someone on a tv news type of program was commenting that the Syrian military were fighting on 479 fronts. That most of there troops managed to resist all those 4 years with little sleep since they generally only got a few days at most off duty. Generally, it was 24 hours a day duty against what the tv commentor said were many nations. He is referring to the nations arming the rebel and sending rebel volunteers. He also said that Syria population is 28 million. Around 4.5 million fled Syria but that 22 million were secure in the areas still under the governments control. That the government concentrated on securing these large areas of population otherwise they would be overwhelmed if they tried to secure the whole of Syria.

Good. I support Russia's actions. The USA shouldn't be the only major player in the Middle East, I would like there to be some diversity if imperialism is unavoidable. Otherwise, the USA could do whatever it wanted with no counterbalance.

Saudi Arabia and Iran are major players in Middle East as well, you know. Turkey to a less extent too.

Gold can't change, for its quality never went down.

An excellent example of why allowing unrestricted immigration of people with a very different culture might not be the best idea ever :P

Let's invite China too, perhaps? And add some spices as well, India has many to offers. Sure, they still not a world player like China but they can start easy first at Middle East. Like Pakistan.

PRC's planned sphere of influence is Africa, considering how much already invested there and how much they still plan to invest. They have certain advantages there over 'white devils' :P

As for those who had assembled before them on the sea, the full flame was their front before the harbour mouths, and a wall of metal upon the shore surrounded them. They were dragged, overturned, and laid low upon the beach; slain and made heaps from stern to bow of their galleys, while all their things were cast upon the water." - Ramesses III., Battle of the Delta

I know that PRC's already investing in Africa a lot, so it wouldn't hurt for them to expand more and more, until they swallow the whole world. :p

They must be willing to do things, though. Things like invasions and occupations, building bases, overthrewing governments, etc.
Compared to 'evil western imperialists', they are still so much passive.

Still hard to imagine 'People's Liberation Army' zerging ISIL :P It would be epic overkill, though.

It won't take long time before ISIL starts spreading to China as well.
