Concerns growing over outbreak of civil war in US
The recent unrest in Charlottesville has stoked fears of a new civil war in the United States. Keith Mines for the State Department believes the country faces a 60-percent chance of civil war over the next 10 to 15 years: “We keep saying, ‘It can’t happen here,’ but then, holy smokes, it can.” To David Blight, a Yale historian, “We know we are at risk of civil war, or something like it, when an election, an enactment, an event, an action by government or people in high places, becomes utterly unacceptable to a party, a large group, a significant constituency.” However, some others doubt if the country will be plunged into civil war, though underscoring deep divisions along multiple lines.
Assad praises Russia, Iran, Hezbollah
Syria’s President Bashar al-Assad on Sunday said there are signs of victory in a war that the foreign-backed terrorists started in the country six and a half years ago. But he nonetheless emphasized that the war was not over and that the battle against those who inflicted destruction on the country would continue. Assad specially thanked Syria’s allies – Russian, Iran and Lebanon’s Hezbollah movement – for their diplomatic, economic and military support. Their help, he said, had greatly enabled the army advance against the terrorists and reduce the losses and burdens of war. In regards to Russia, Assad has some very positive words. He said the Russians had contributed to protecting the sovereignty of Syria.
