Tillerson: Russia Must Choose Between US or Assad


Secretary of State Rex Tillerson gave a justification for Trump’s airstrike this week, claiming that Assad’s “repeated use of banned weapons” threatened the “national security interest” of the United States. Tillerson also claimed that the Trump administration sees no long term use for Assad in Syria, now that the Assad regime has “given up their legitimacy with these type of attacks.”

But the biggest news from the announcement may be Tillerson’s ultimatum to Russia. He claims that Vladimir Putin must now choose whether to align himself with the United States or Assad.
