"I am encouraged, Secretary Blinken, by your comments that there will be very significant consequences for Russia's actions."

"I share Senator Markey's concerns that in practice we do not see the ethnic reprisals that we have seen happen so often when territory has been reclaimed from ISIS's grips."

"I would hope that we would see some aggressive U.S. leadership to make it clear that that conduct does not get a free pass because of the JCPOA."

"There is no question that there is an urgent need to protect human life, civilian life, in Syria, and the United States needs to act boldly."
