Schock: American Weakness in Ukraine, Syria Rattling Asian Allies (Washington Free Beacon)
Rep. Aaron Schock (R., Ill.) said America’s Asian allies such as Japan are growing increasingly concerned about the United States fulfilling its security related treaty obligations Monday on Morning Joe.
Schock, who just got back from a Congressional delegation to the region, revealed consternation about America’s international weakness came up in “nearly every meeting.”
Speaking to the questions he was asked on his trip, Schock said Japaense officials told him “we have seen the inaction in Syria, we’re very concerned about the inaction in Ukraine. What does that mean about our commitment from you if and when we were to get into a military conflict?”
