Gen. Keane and Pletka on the U.S. option to degrade air defense system in Syria in 2013- "no fly zone" option
05/22/2013
Gen. Keane and Pletka say inaction can be more risky than action with the spillover of the war in Syria to neighboring countries. The Assad regime's attack on civilian populations and use of chemical weapons, the democracy movement in Syria, and the support from the Arab world and Turkey, are critical factors that would bring the U.S. credibility in the region and gain the respect of people in the region, if action is taken in 2013. They point out that the air defense system in Syria even with Russian systems can be rendered inactive without much effort.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
