Moscow-Sana
A member of the Defense and Security Committee of the Council of the Russian Federation Franz Klinsevich said that the recent statements of US officials on what they called "the protection of oil fields" in Syria again show the truth of their plans against them.
The Russian senator said today, "We note what a kind of distribution of roles where US President Donald Trump announces the elimination of the leader of ISIS Baghdadi followed by a statement by Secretary of Defense Mark Esper of US intentions to maintain control of the oil fields in Syria, but in essence hide these statements meaningful Same that the United States will never get out of Syria. ”
Clintevic said that statements about the killing of ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, regardless of whether they are true or not, are used by Washington as an ideological basis for such decisions, describing the statement of the US Secretary of Defense on the oil fields “funny”, adding: “Oil is money… Where the money is, there are no US allies. ”
The Russian president's special envoy to Syria Alexander Lavrentiyev stressed yesterday that the oil fields in eastern Syria should be under the control of the Syrian government the day after the Russian Defense Ministry confirmed that the US occupation forces in Syria are carrying out acts of robbery and looting of oil at the state level, which is contrary to the norms of international law .
Retired US general Barry McCaffrey condemned President Donald Trump's plans to deploy US troops in eastern Syria for what he called "protecting oil fields," warning that Trump's policy in Syria is seriously drifting into piracy.
The Newsweek magazine reported that McCaffrey confirmed in a tweet on Twitter that all oil in Syria belongs to her, pointing out the illegality of the presence of US troops in Syria, which "lacks the approval of Congress."
Washington is trying to complete its colonial role in Syria and the region, both politically and militarily, through its forces looting and stealing Syrian oil, as confirmed by the Russian Defense Ministry recently, where it published pictures showing tank convoys transporting oil outside Syria under the guard of US military.
