'West will not intervene Syria, proxy war more likely'

In Syria, the unfolding battle for the commercial capital - Aleppo - has turned into the focal point of the 16-month long conflict. Government forces are pushing to reclaim the country's largest city from the rebels - who control nearly half of its neighbourhoods. Three million people live in Aleppo and many are now fleeing, amid international fears of a looming massacre. Russia's accused foreign powers of fueling the bloodshed, by urging the rebels to fight on against Assad.

The political leaders of the insurgency are calling for intervention, and shipments of heavy weapons from abroad. And revelations in the media this week claim that's already happening, via a secret base in Turkey. Author and journalist Afshin Rattansi says the flow of weapons into the hands of rebels will have dire consequences.

mayaforpeaceful: Get you head out of your ass , and start thinking straight. Our US government is always causing trouble in the world. Sadly Washington is always picking fights with small nations. It is always about world control. I want to see my fucking government pick a fight with Russia or China. As an American , i am ashamed of the unfair , and dirty international policies of my government. Fuck all superpowers government, that in the name of democracy kill , and torture for profit.
