Hillary Clinton’s likely approach to more aggressive policies overseas given her previous support of the Iraq War and the operation in Afghanistan, as well as her unwillingness to cooperate with Russia may further escalate the Syrian conflict if she becomes next president of the United States, chairman of Serbia’s right-wing Dveri party told Sputnik.
Clinton advocates the continuation of anti-Russian sanctions and calls Russian and Iranian actions in Syria an “open support” for Assad.
“It is certain that Hillary Clinton is a strong advocate of aggressive foreign policy, which her entire career proves. I believe that there can be no long lasting solution for this crisis without tighter cooperation with Russia, but I am afraid that if Clinton becomes president, the conflict will only escalate,” Bosko Obradovic said.
The politician said he favored Donald Trump’s foreign policy priorities calling his statements on future cooperation with Russia against Islamic State (IS) “a signal of hope.”
Obradovic called on the United States to lift economic sanctions against Syria, because “Syrian people are in extremely bad situation between the terrorist attacks and economic burden of sanctions, especially the Christians.”
Syria has been mired in civil war since 2011, with opposition factions and Islamist terrorist groups such as Islamic State and the Nusra Front, now known as Jabhat Fatah al Sham, both outlawed in Russia and the United States, fighting the Syrian Army.
