accomplished military objectives without interference from syria. i d use three words to describe this operation, precise, overwhelming and effective. let s go back to the first slide, please. against if first target, the research center located in the greater damascus area. 19 were joint air-to-surface missiles. as you can see for yourself from the graphics, initial assessments are this target was destroyed. this is going to set the syrian chemical warfare program back for years. we destroyed three buildings in damascus, one of the most heavily defended air spaces in the world. next slide, the second target, the facility located in syria west of homs, 22 weapons
humanitarian effect, families separated, nations blockaded by qatar and those that are not. thai been unable to travel because there s been no flight predictions among the company s air spaces. but what impact has it had on the region? there are about 15 million citizens in qatar as well that will be seriously impacted wi this. absolutely. today the saudis and the emirates have made it very clear. they re going to try to accommodate the families that basically exist, families what are married, intermarriage basically between qatar and the emirates and saudi arabia in order to address the humanity in question. you have the unity of the corporation council which means a great deal to the americans. that s why they re pushing for a settlement sooner rather than later by nudging qatar to accept
relationship is between russia russia some donald trump. this is a dangerous world. russia is in ukraine, stirring up trouble. they re in syria, we saw what happened today in syria. they are send can their sending their bombers close to the air spaces of our allies. this is not a friend of the united states. this is a nation state that is run by a strongman, dictator, who john mccain has heavily credit seize it. lend si graham has heavily chit criticized and we need to be clear what the relationship is. we re about to have internal conflict in the republican party with so many on the republican side asking for a complete investigation into what. what lawmake we re not want to know more about a foreign power interfered in our election. that s unacceptable in america.
