Does the West have a coherent strategy in Syria?

Stephen Sackur speaks with German Defence Minister Ursula von der
Leyen. Vladimir Putin has wrong-footed the West, again. First it
was in Crimea and eastern Ukraine, now it is with his rapidly
escalating military intervention in Syria. The Obama
Administration, Nato, and the EU have issued warnings and
condemnations, but does the West have a coherent strategy in
Syria. And does the EU have a security strategy at all?
