Shafaq News/ US Vice President J.D. Vance admitted that the 2003 US invasion of Iraq led to the destruction of “the greatest historic Christian communities in the world,” warning against a repeat of the same thing in Syria and the protection of minorities there.
In an interview with Fox News, De Vance said that the US administration “must remember who it is dealing with in Syria and ensure the protection of these historic communities there.”
He continued: “What happened to minorities in Syria recently seems very bad, and we are trying to determine how bad it is. We are trying to determine whether what happened to minorities in Syria was a limited incident or genocide.”
He added, “We are talking to our allies and doing unannounced things to protect minorities in Syria, such as Christians and Druze.”
De Vance noted that Washington will not send troops to Syria, but there is much that can be done diplomatically and economically to protect minorities.
“Our invasion of Iraq led to the destruction of one of the greatest historic Christian communities in the world. We do not want to allow a Christian community to be destroyed again,” he said.
