Congress presses Trump administration to stop Syrian atrocities

In its first full day back in session, the Republican-led House of Representatives overwhelmingly passed a bill to sanction the regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, as well as its Russian and Iranian enablers, for war crimes and crimes against humanity. The move puts pressure on President-elect Donald Trump to decide whether saving Syrian civilians and standing up to mass atrocities — as opposed to partnering with Russian President Vladimir Putin — are things he believes in.

Russia, Iran and Hezbollah have all contributed to the war crimes ongoing in Syria, Engel said. Russian planes have targeted schools, hospitals and public spaces. “Under this legislation, if you’re acting as a lifeline to the Assad regime, you risk getting caught up in the net of our sanctions,” he said.

Russia, Iran and Hezbollah both evil and contributed to the war crimes because they are fighting their own beloved Jihadist Terrorist proxies but Saudis/Turkish, Syrian rebels are all innocent and sweet hearts.

“America has been sitting back and watching these atrocities for far too long. Vital U.S. national security interests are at stake,” he said. “For there to be peace in Syria, the parties must come together. And as long as Assad and his backers can slaughter the people of Syria with no consequences – there is no hope for peace.”

As long as Syrian government and allies continue on killing Jihadists with no consequences there is no hope for stability. It seems that the Republicans are still the party of war and oil.
