Assad believes that the US will help defeat the terrorists in Syria
DAMASCUS, March 11 — RIA Novosti. Syrian President Bashar al-Assad does not believe that the presence of U.S. troops in Syria will help his country to defeat the “Islamic state” (IG)* and other terrorists.
“We do not believe that it will help. What are they going to do? To fight ISIS*? The Americans lost almost all wars. They were defeated in Iraq, in the end they had to withdraw. Even in Somalia — not to mention Vietnam and Afghanistan, the neighboring country,” — said Assad in an interview with Hong Kong TV channel “the Phoenix”.
“They have not succeeded in any place where they send their troops — they are only creating problems. They are very good at creating problems and destroy, but they are very bad at finding solutions,” added the Syrian leader.
