A frightening statement has come from the United States regarding Syria, from which it recently decided to lift all sanctions. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated that the transitional government in Syria could collapse in a short time.
U.S.: THE GOVERNMENT IN SYRIA COULD COLLAPSE WITHIN WEEKS
Rubio said, "The transitional government in Syria could collapse within weeks, and the country could be plunged into an epic civil war." Marco Rubio warned that Washington supports efforts to help the new Syrian government succeed and that failure could lead to war and regional instability.
Rubio told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, "We want to help this government succeed because the alternative, of course, is a full-scale civil war and chaos that would destabilize the entire region."
"IF SYRIA BECOMES UNSTABLE, THE REGION BECOMES UNSTABLE"
He added that U.S. officials, including embassy staff in Turkey, will coordinate with local partners to assess Syria's needs regarding the type of assistance they require, especially for law enforcement. Rubio stated, "When Syria is unstable, the region becomes unstable." He mentioned that lifting sanctions could enable neighboring countries to support the Syrian government in establishing governance mechanisms.
