The Syrian civil war has gone on for more than 13 years.

"The war whose brutality once dominated headlines has settled into an uncomfortable stalemate. Hopes for regime change have largely died out, peace talks have been fruitless, and some regional governments are reconsidering their opposition to engaging with Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad. The government has regained control of most of the country, and Assad's hold on power seems secure"

Joyce Vance: “This is a five-alarm fire. We know what the reaction would be if Joe tweeted a photo of a bound and gagged Donald in the trunk of an electric car.
