Boris Johnson has said the west lacks a viable military strategy in Syria, and that Russia could be guilty of war crimes if it has been involved in the bombing of civilian targets. The Russians themselves are actually engaged.”But Johnson admitted that the west had failed to have a viable military strategy, since 2013 to put pressure on Russia. I would have to agree that, since we took those decisions in 2013, when those red lines were crossed, we have not really had a viable military response, or any kinetic response to what is going on. Russian and Syrian warplanes are continuing to assault rebel positions in the east of the city, resulting in water shortages and multiple deaths. The security council meeting on Syria came as France, the UK and the US, among others, said their patience was not infinite.
