Syria

The difference that TV coverage makes in war is seen in stark contrast to the ten year civil war in Syria where 350,000 died and several million people were displaced. Most Americans have no idea about what happened in Syria and that Putin was involved in a major way. There was a time when the citizens had a chance to over throw the government of Assad but at a crucial time Putin sent in arms and air power which defeated the people. If Putin is able to take over Ukraine he will black out the news and everyone will just forget about it as they did in Syria.
