Cotton on Syrian Chemical Attack: Russia, Iran and Assad Must All 'Pay for Their Barbarism'

Sen. Tom Cotton (R., Ark.) said Russia, Iran and the Bashar-al Assad regime in Syria must all "pay for their barbarism" Sunday after reports of a chemical weapons attack in a Damascus suburb.

The attack on rebel-held Douma reportedly left dozens dead, and it was almost exactly a year after a similar chemical attack by the Assad regime that led President Donald Trump to order a retaliatory missile strike to destroy a Syrian air base.

Cotton said Russia and Iran, who both support the Assad dictatorship, had to be held to account.

Note, some politicians, senators, I have not seen comment on this and it is a hot topic truly, where one might not want to rub their constituency the same way.

I'll say this for Cotton, this does not necessarily mean firing missiles but Russia and Iran can be punished in other ways.
