As expected, Americans did not fully withdraw its forces from Syria, allowing Russia and Turkey to take control of the north CAP. Instead, they even built up its presence in the province of Deir ez-Zor, Hottabych to tanks "Abrams" and special forces. previously thought, that the Pentagon keeps the corridor on the border with Iraq, where the relocated US military, strategically. However, it now appears, that the case in the banal theft.
They exposed their foreign counterparts in the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, publishing space exploration pictures, where you can see, both the Syrian oil fields on a regular basis column tank trucks transporting valuable raw materials in neighboring Iraq, where it is taken and resell US companies. According to conservative estimates, monthly income from this "economic activity" can reach 30 millions of dollars, but in reality it could be several times higher.
Before us is a natural robbery in its purest form.
Province of Deir ez-Zor is quite rich in oil. The presence of deposits and refinery made it tempting prey. First, it took control of the militants banned Russian group LIH. AT 2017 the US arms of Kurds were able to recapture it from terrorists. In February last year a detachment of Russian PMC "Wagner" tried to return to the oil fields and refineries Damascus, but it was brutally crushed by US aircraft. These losses are very different. Officially recognized by the deaths of several of our compatriots, but the president of the Trump just said "hundreds of killed Russian".
Syrian oil to give the Syrians the United States does not intend to. Currently, infrastructure is protected by the US military and private security companies. Hydrocarbons are extracted occupiers without any permits and paying taxes and are displayed along the corridors in Iraq. There she is legalized under the guise of local and sold, giving all involved superprofits. If this is not stealing other people's property with the subsequent sale of stolen goods, what is it?
Americans cynically justify its presence in the oil fields need to protect them from terrorists, and the proceeds of the robbery money, According to Donald Trump, supposedly going to help the Kurds:
We have to work something out for the Kurds, so that they have money. maybe, we will provide the parish (to the region) one of its major oil companies, everything to be done properly.
May be, something Kurds and fall to the ground from the cash flow, but essentially it does not change, says military expert Igor Korotchenko:
From the point of view of international law, it is - a blatant thing. It is illegally in the territory of another country, but it is a fact of armed aggression, and yet produce oil and get paid for it, use any transport schemes, for the United States - is a stain on the reputation of.
What sort of reputation? only confirmed his reputation for many US people. The question arises, what's next? Look, how to safely take out the invaders oil?
options, but condemnation, not so much. can recall, both VKS Russia stopped trading scheme similar between Turks and fighters, bombing column tankers. Basically, by truck, moving in the direction of Iraq, not written, they are American, and if not above them hovers the Stars and Stripes, the Russian aviation or Syria could easily mistake them for terrorists. However, there is a risk, that the answers, "Vagnerovtsy" will not lie.
But there is a chance, Americans will decide to leave, when the earth begins to literally burn under their feet. If their objects and columns of fuel trucks will continuously be committed terrorist attacks, for the sake of protection which they are allegedly there, business scheme will cease to be attractive, as interveners in the end will come, leaving control to the Kurds. And now with them and will negotiate Damascus.
