MOSCOW, December 2 (Sputnik) — The United States has focused on removing Syrian President Bashar Assad from power instead of pursuing the vital goal of defeating Islamic State (IS, or in Arabic Daesh), a group outlawed in Russia and many other countries, which has caused tensions with Russia, US House of Representatives member Tulsi Gabbard said Wednesday.
“Our mission must be to dedicate our resources in executing a strong and decisive strategy to defeat ISIS [Daesh] rather than <…> overthrowing the Syrian government of Assad <…> that has now put us in a far more dangerous position, putting us directly at odds with Russia <…> creating a great potential for head to head conflict, a world war and a nuclear conflict with US and Russia,” the Hawaii representative told CNN.
