Invader NATO commander reveals plans for intervention in Syria

NATO’s supreme commander says the alliance is drawing up contingency plans for a possible military intervention in Syria.

The Washington Post reported on Tuesday that Admiral James Stavridis, commander of US European Command, said at the Senate Armed Services Committee that US military would be ready to take part in the aggression.
Stavridis also serves as NATO’s Supreme Allied Commander in Europe (SACEUR).
He said the United States is “looking at a variety of operations. We are prepared if called upon to be engaged.”
The US commander said the 28-member military alliance is also looking into the option of assisting the foreign-backed militants fighting against the Syrian government.
Stavridis further added that the negotiations within the NATO member states also concentrated on imposing a no-fly zone over Syria and providing lethal support to the militants.
The official confirmed that targeting Syria’s air defenses would also be taken into consideration.
On March 18, US Secretary of State John Kerry said Washington would not ‘stand in the way’ of Europeans if they decide to arm the militants fighting against the Syrian government.
