I can hardly wait for the caucophony of "How dare you!"s from the Greta Thunberg demonicRATS!
Come and secure Alberta oilfields.
Come and secure Alberta oilfields.
They have a point. Isn’t it? ‘Securing the oil’ from the rightful owners doesn’t smell right.
Isn’t Syria entitled to Syrian oil? I am still wondering what is the status of US forces in Syria and missed the declaration of war but ‘securing’ the smuggling operation worth $1+ million a day sure sounds like banditry to me.
Hey Vlad, buddy....we produce more oil than you now. It would help us more to have less oil on the global market. Hell, we’d make money bombing the sh*t out of them rather than protecting them.
But we don’t depend on that stuff as much as you do, do we? We have the world’s biggest economy.
So, sorry...that dog don’t hunt. Now go ride a horse shirtless or something.
It’s like having Patton as President. F-ing AWESOME.
This is all negotiated. Al Jeez is blowing smoke and stirring the pot trying to make something out of nothing.
Washington needs to explain in one detailed and articulate sentence why we have interest in this.
We have our own oil.
So we are protecting the oil fields from the Syrian government?
i think i can write something that will succeed in disgusting and offending everyone.
I think both sides have a point. These are exactly the oil fields that ISIS was occupying and selling oil to turkey to fund all their atrocities.
In an ideal world this would be under Syrian sovereignty. But on a short term basis it makes sense for us to safeguard it. if it really is short term.
The fields were assaulted by ISIS once before and repulsed - this is to keep the remnants from repeating the same tactic and using the money to reconstitute. Tanks are necessary because troops only would be vulnerable, if the weather turns bad and no air is available.
Before Obama’s Arab Spring, these oil fields belonged to Syria. If we want to take away something from Syria that matters to the World, take back Lebanon.
Russia’s Defence Ministry has criticised the United States’ decision to send armoured vehicles and combat troops into eastern Syria to protect oil fields, calling it “banditry.” >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Just like the so called “banditry” of John Paul Jones and the Swamp Fox,Francis Marion , both who used enemy resources to fuel their own fight.
Strategically now the caliphate jihadhis will have to come to US Forces and confront the buzz saw, the US Forces won’t have to hunt them down! Very smart strategy.
Putin is discovering that he is no longer dealing with a double dealing, community organizer, liberal utopian fascist of dirty name.
