Middle East: US drone strikes in Syria ‘dangerous escalation’

The introduction of drone strikes by the United States inside Syria would mark a dangerous escalation in the Syria unrest, says Rick Rozoff, manager of the Stop NATO organization.

Rozoff told the U.S. Desk that if deadly U.S drone strikes are expanded to Syria, it would be "the most disturbing manifestation of the international drone warfare policy.”

Drone attacks inside Syria would be “an act of utter provocation,” he said

“If the U.S. directly engage in military strikes, which is what drone attacks are, means that the U.S. has openly intervened and become belligerent in the war on Syria and it could lead to an escalation of tensions not only in the region but globally.”

Rozoff said while it is difficult to ascertain exactly who will be the target of U.S. drone attacks at this point, “government targets including military units” would probably be high on the list.
