Syria Doc Director Critiques US Strike: ‘It Doesn’t Remotely Constitute a Syrian Strategy’

“The horrific use of sarin gas by the Assad regime violates an international treaty enacted after the First World War,” said the director of the 2017 documentary about Syria in a statement on Friday.

[...] it doesn’t remotely constitute a Syrian strategy or, at the moment, indicate whether the Administration will go up against Russia to end Assad’s brutal dictatorship that has resulted in hundreds of thousands of civilian deaths and millions of refuges who have been forced to flee the country.

An estimated 11 million Syrians have fled their homes since the outbreak of the civil war in March 2011, according to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees.

Since the Syrian civil war began in 2011, 4.8 million people have fled to Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt and Iraq.

[...] it doesn’t remotely constitute a Syrian strategy or, at the moment, indicate whether the Administration will go up against Russia to end Assad’s brutal dictatorship that has resulted in hundreds of thousands of civilian deaths and millions of refuges who have been forced to flee the country.
