I really enjoyed going up to people and getting their opinions on this issue. It was a little nerve racking at first, but I got used to it after a while.
Question: How has Syria had an impact on the relations between America and Russia?
Ryan:
Strains it. Forces it into conversation about a lot of controversial topics right now.
Eric:
It causes significant tension between the two for the first time since the Cold War.
Austen: The Syrian conflict had caused Russian-American relations to become even more tense than they were before. Differing interests, as well as different motivations for control in the area, has caused a political conflict to compound the issue of a chemical conflict in Syria.
Grant: I feel like Russia has a weird motivation for what should happen in Syria. It is seems like they have their own interest at hand and we are seeing a cold war return.
Jace: I think that the conflict in Syria is making any negotiations or future negotiations between America and Syria more difficult.
Jeremy: I honestly do not really know.
