What makes Syria’s civil war so dangerous is that the players on the ground are no longer its driving forces. Rather, the war has become a struggle for regional dominance between Iran on one side and Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Turkey on the other.
令叙利亚内战如此危险的是其实际参与者已不再是战争的驱动力量。相反，这场战争已经演变为伊朗和沙特阿拉伯、卡塔尔和土耳其之间对地区霸权的争夺。中东也因此有可能沦为二十一世纪的巴尔干——陷入到十年前以美国为首侵略所造成的区域动荡之中。
