A real threat of external intervention hung over Syria. Barack Obama promises to punish the "villainous regime", although he hesitates, fearing that the operation has a chance to repeat the war in Iraq, against which Obama spoke out at one time. Vladimir Putin called assumptions about the use of chemical weapons by the Syrian authorities "non -assumed fool." Syrian President Bashar Assad promised to repulse aggressors.
How justified are Damascus accusations of using chemical weapons? What are the true causes of possible military intervention in Syria? What will the war mean for the international community? How will it affect the balance of power in world politics?
