Senator Cruz Warns of Syrian Rebels Defeating Assad

Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad's reign has come to an end. The Syrian President fled to Moscow yesterday after Syrian rebels seized control of Damascus, Syria's capital. Though Syria now looks to new leadership, the rebel group has been on the list of terrorist groups since 2012. In response, Senator Ted Cruz (R) is warning that it's "too soon to tell" if Syria won't be a threat to the United States.

In the latest episode of his Verdict podcast, Senator Cruz discussed the recent developments in Syria.

President Joe Biden (D) issued a response to the siege by Syrian rebels, commenting that the United States is prepared to work with Syrians as they create a new government for themselves. Calling the ousting of President Assad a moment of risk and opportunity, President Biden assured that the U.S. would be monitoring the actions of HTS. President Donald Trump (R) responded with a much different message, suggesting that Syria is no problem of the United States and that the country should have no involvement whatsoever.

Commenting on the siege, Senator Cruz backed President Trump's response, warning that the Syrian rebels, in time, could prove to be a threat to the United States.

"We've seen a pattern for the past 20 years of Americans supporting people toppling dictators who are fighting terrorists only to have the terrorists take over and start fighting Americans instead," Senator Cruz commented, questioning "is this good for America?"

His answer? It's premature to try to find an answer at the moment.

Calling President Assad "a monster" over his use of chemical weapons on his people, Senator Cruz, adding that unfortunately "the rebel groups fighting against him, many of them may well be worse. Many of them are connected to Al-Qaeda, to radical Islamic terrorists, and the challenge is... the people fighting are Islamists, they are remnants of Al-Qaeda."
