The conflict in Allepo has been going on for the last four years, although things have intensified over the last few months and the city is now virtually under siege. It isn't a matter of knowing what has been in the news over the last couple of weeks, it's been going for a lot longer than that.
Leaving aside the war that is going on now, I'm surprised that so many people, including Gary Johnson, haven't heard of it for it's historical significance if nothing else. The old centre of Allepo is a World Heritage site, sadly most of it has now been destroyed.

Actually, it's the second biggest city in Syria and is the major connection with all the Syrian refugees looking to come to the US and Europe. Thank you for breaking it down. I did look it up since reading this thread, but I just don't make world news a daily priority. I'm stressed enough as it is, going back to school is hard when you've been out of the game for 18 years and are taking accelerated online courses. I feel that I don't have enough time for negativity, I'd rather do my nails! Hell I can barely keep up with the Housewives nowadays! I've been wearing the same polish for a week. This is so not me, lol I find it quite offensive that you can be so flippant about the fate of thousands of innocent people and children and the genocide that is going on in Allepo. But you go ahead to paint your nails while the Doctors in Allepo are trying to save lives under the bombs that are being dropped constantly and their desperate need for food, medical supplies and even clean drinking water.

Be offended all you want, I don't care. I've done a lot of life saving in my day and I've earned a rest. If I was in Aleppo helping out, I wouldn't be watching the news there either. Everyone can find something to be offended about. This is yours, I guess. Women in Africa are raped and maimed on a daily basis and watching the stories of doctors volunteering their services to repair mutilated vaginas brings me to tears. Forgive me if I can't take on every hurt in the world. Are you being flippant about the plight of women in Africa if you aren't watching their stories on the news? They hardly make news now. Aleppo is the story of the moment. Don't think I don't care, I just don't want to know every bad thing in the world.
