U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio issued a dire warning on Tuesday, cautioning that Syria could be on the verge of plunging into a major internal conflict within a matter of weeks.
Addressing members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Rubio stated, “given the challenges” currently confronting Syria’s new leadership, the country is “maybe weeks, not many months, away from potential collapse, and a full scale civil war of epic proportions” that could ultimately result in “basically the country splitting up.”
Rubio also remarked, “The bad news is that [Syria’s] transitional authority figures, they didn’t pass their background check.”
