Isn’t that sort of an absurd claim? The USA, the largest crude oil producer, steals paltry amounts of oil from Syria, one oil tanker at a time? Same for wheat. The U.S. exports 50% of its wheat, but loots Syrian wheat?
It all has to do with the economics of import/export. Somehow in some stupid way, if American oil fetches a higher price than Syrian oil with shipping factored, US companies will absolutely export our crude while importing foreign crude because it makes sense on a spreadsheet.
The United States military is stealing 60 trucks worth of oil because it’ll save money? The US produces 13 million barrels of crude a day, but it’s worth their time to steal 60 tanker trucks worth?
Are you suggesting the US is stealing oil for the sake of being cruel? This is some sort of strategic effort at the highest levels to take 60 tanker trucks of oil?
No, this is a US official saying that they’re plundering Syria in order to make people there suffer. Do you have comprehension problems that prevent you from understanding what’s being said in the clip?

Yes
You don’t think it’s a bit silly to suggest that 60 tanker trucks is going to be worth time? What’s that even worth, have you checked?
The stated goal is harming people of Syria https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MFsFOS5Odno&t=903s
I don’t know why you’re fixated on “60 tanker trucks.”
Do you believe that this one eyewitness report represents the entirety of what the US has done in Syria over the past decade?

Seems rather excessive, doesn’t it? The genocide we’re currently supporting also seems a bit much.

This is literally what a US official openly explained https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MFsFOS5Odno&t=903s

You understand who runs this empire, right? It isn’t Antony Blinken or Lloyd Austin
Okay, so it’s not for cruelty but for commerce? 60 trucks worth of oil? C’mon.
60 trucks 60 trucks 60 trucks is convincing to one user, anyway 🙄
