Stealing the oil.

No, literally, the part of Syria occupied by the US military produces oil. They load it into tankers and sell it.

Yes.

No, that was the disgusting paedophile Donald Trump.

Civilised Brandon put a quick stop to that.

So you're wrong about why America is in Syria today

The Biden administration has decided it will not renew a waiver that allowed a politically connected U.S. oil company to operate in northeast Syria under President Donald Trump’s pledge to “keep the oil” produced in the region, according to a U.S. official familiar with the decision.

Treasury Department rules prohibit most U.S. companies from doing business in Syria. The waiver for Delta Crescent Energy was issued in April 2020, months after Trump announced that he wanted to keep some U.S. troops in the oil-rich region to maintain control of the oil profits.

Huh exactly what a paid poster for Exxon would say....weird how you keep accidentally shilling for exxon....rex tillerson was secretary for energy when the decision to take the oil was made.

He's also the prior CEO of Exxon. And here you are pretending that Rex is still rawdog fucking Syria for its oil like a total G.

Three times I've caught you shilling for exxon, now. People are going to start getting suspicious, chipit

/u/Chipit is a long-time poster who consistently and regularly posts dissident political content, quite unlike what paid posters are employed to do. He's a great example of what this site needs more of.

The user above is a paid poster. Block and disengage.

It's true that I am being paid by the enemies of Exxon...people should be asking themselves. Why does the enemy of Exxon attack chipit so much? If I am here to attack exxon why do I clash with chipit so much? People should ask the question. What is going on between chipit and exxon. Why are they so often exactly aligned
