U.S. Sends Forces to Protect Syrian Oil Fields

Its really not our oil to grab, and the land we have to Turkey wasn't ours to give.

 

In the meantime the Syrian people are suffering and the refugees can't return to their homes and it's causing a rise in the nationalist (Nazi) parties in Europe. Have we done anything constructive in the past 25 years, because it certainly doesn't look like it?

Instead we've backed Nazis in Ukraine and Wahabbi jihadists in Syria over a fear of a Christian nation with 30% of the world's assets that refused to conform to our Western 'liberal' and totalitarian standards. You figure!

We have sanctions on Syria and are doing what we did in Iraq, making the children suffer for not bowing to Uncle Sam. Our Founding Fathers must be turning over in their graves.

 

Merkle said Russia has proven it's reliability. Of course if some nation continuously provokes another nation, they're bound to fear some retaliation. It's call projection.

I toot my horn and dance with glee
when listening to the reverie
of lands a-far. For what I know,
it's but a show and soon they'll go.

But not before they suffer dear
for having poked the Russian bear - Jeannette

Trump's Stated Plan to Loot Syria's Oil Reserves 'Would Be a War Crime,' Critics Say

"He's pulling back that curtain and just telling you the truth."

...

"The oil is, you know, so valuable," Trump told reporters Sunday. "It can help us, because we should be able to take some also. And what I intend to do, perhaps, is make a deal with an ExxonMobil or one of our great companies to go in there and do it properly...and spread out the wealth."

President Trump openly admits U.S. in Syria to steal its oil.

I like how Trump is not only totally corrupt and self-serving as president, but is candid and even seems completely oblivious to it at times.

 

Looks like Trump's bowing down to the media pressure - either that or Putin didn't give in to some bullying of his and he decided to make the Syrian people suffer for it.

I like the way he killed Baghdadi the way Obama killed Osama. In both cases no proof was given other than the President's word - which means absolutely nothing. Also both were buried at sea. The UN will not accept he's dead without proof, which of course is confidential - once again. It's our foreign policy of 'strategic ambiguity' where everything is implied and facts and proof are never given. What a deception and an insult to the American people.

As for the oil, it's to deprive the Syrian people of the funds to rebuild their country. And as for ISIS, according to an Afghan spokesman we are now supporting them in Afghanistan. That way we can stop China's silk road and at the same time, move the terrorists closer to Russia's southern flanks..

STRATEGIC AMBIGUITY

Damn if this don't look bad...

Russia Releases Damning Evidence Of The U.S. Smuggling Syrian Oil
According to the ministry, the photos confirm that “Syrian oil, both before and after the routing defeat of the Islamic State terrorists in land beyond the Euphrates river, under the reliable protection by US military servicemen, oil was actively being extracted and then the fuel trucks were massively being sent for processing outside of Syria.”

‘Arrogant & illegal’: Lavrov denounces US military’s oil moves in Syria at Russian-Turkish-Iranian press event

29 Oct, 2019 20:42 / Updated 3 hours ago
The US was “arrogant” to send its troops to guard oilfields in Syria, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has said, adding that it remains unclear from whom the installations need to be protected.
The actions of the Americans in Syria violate international law, as their presence in the country is “illegal,” Lavrov reiterated, appearing alongside his Iranian and Turkish counterparts at a press-conference in Geneva, Switzerland.

The statement that this [US] presence is needed to protect the oil riches of Syria is arrogant. It turns out that they are being protected from Syria itself.

Washington’s claims that oilfields needed protection from the Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) terrorist group were just a pretext to backtrack on the withdrawal of the US troops from Syria, which had earlier been announced by Donald Trump.

Such a statement sounds especially confusing as “back in March, the US already announced that Islamic State is defeated, crushed,” he reminded the attendance in Geneva.

Actually, Lavrov's comments are less damning that what came straight from Trump's mouth, as per Durandel's post above.

 

Actually.. Trump is a half baked fool. Syria's oil reserves went into steep decline in 1996 and the quality is the poorest in the world. I had to laugh when Trumpy said his friends at Exxon would help him. Exxon knows Trump is a moron.

 

Trump is stealing Syria's funds so it can't rebuild and making the liberal war mongers, Israel and the jihadist states like KSA and Qatar happy. If he thinks the media will lay off him, then he has another guess coming. As for the Kurds, they have to contend with Turkey, so I don't see any gain for them. Turkey will lay off them only if they give up claims of an independent state in Syria.

As for the American troops in eastern Syria, I see sabotage and a lot of subversive actions. It ain't gonna be easy for them

 

He would like you to believe whatever he says at any given moment and to ignore any inconsistencies.

 

Protect the Oil from who ? That is the question Protect from ISIS is a completely false propaganda narrative. The oil is being protected from the Syrian Gov't - who desperately needs the revenue to start rebuilding the nation that we destroyed.

This recent action is a violation of international law - stacked on top of numerous other violations of international law.

 

10,000 ISIS fled to Afghanistan over a year ago. You should be posting under conspiracy theories.

 

The Kurds are in control of Eastern Syria where the depleted oil fields are located.

 

It is not the Kurds oil. That oil belongs to the Nation of Syria - the proceeds of which should be going to help rebuild Syria.

The question is "Who is the oil being protected from" ?

 

Why would Qatar or Saudi Arabia be happy?

Russia doesn't want Qatar to have a gas pipeline thru Syria and Saudi Arabia has NO interest because they have had the East -West pipeline for over 20 years.

You should do some work on your conspiracy theories and propaganda.

 

Nobody.. Trump is blowing swamp gas and posturing. Assad signed a deal with Russia over a year ago giving Russia control over Syrian oil and gas NOW and in the FUTURE.

There's no oil left in Eastern Syria and no plans to develop offshore reserves in the Eastern Med Sea.

 

Hahahaha.. Well done, Woogs.. Trump is a moron.. He even said that his friends at Exxon Mobile would help him take Syrian oil.. Exxon Mobile thinks Trumps is a complete idiot and a liar.

U.S. Sends Forces to Protect Syrian Oil Fields

The oil fields are being protected from somebody - not "nobody". If we were not there - someone else would be in charge.

 

The Kurds have been in control of Eastern Syria for over a year, but Syria's eastern oil fields are basically depleted.

Trump is ignorant ...

 

As it should be since the ME supplies a large majority of it to the world. What kind of world would we be living in right now without a free flowing supply?

 

The world economy has a stake in the oil where ever it's from. How much oil do you think you use annually?

 

Syria's oil fields have been in steep decline since 1996.. and the quality is garbage.. only fit for asphalt.

They haven't done any reserve mgmt. in Syria for more than a dozen years.

So it will cost billions to get production back up to 300,000 bpd.
