The main actors fall into three categories: open revisionists, like Russia and the Islamic State; those ready to fight to protect a minimum of order, such as the United States, France, and Great Britain; and ambivalent states – including key regional players in the Middle East, such as Turkey and Iran – whose actions fail to match their rhetoric.
主要行动方可归为三类：公开的修正主义者（如俄罗斯和伊斯兰国）；准备着为保护最低限度秩序斗争者（如美国、法国和英国），以及言行不一的矛盾国家，包括中东的关键行动方（如土耳其和伊朗）。
