I’d bet anything it’s real
Makes for bad PR in the Mideast, but can’t be helped:
frees up Russia/Syria for other areas, and helps Kurds.
Also, I’ve seen reports that terrorist used oil tankers to be smuggled away in. Pots a stop to that.

You follow some good people on Syria.

OK..I'll be honest..I might get hit by several but here it is. I think Russia told us we better go in and protect the oil fields. They on the other hand took out other big terrorist in the Turkey areas. After all Russian isn't part of NATO and they've been fighting along side the Syrians and dying for several years. Even feeding the Syrians.

The Syrians are blind to anything less than hating us but after No Name went in with Obama's ok..and supplied the terrorist there in their country and built up the numbers of ISIS..ICIL..IC..so we can't ever get on the good graces of the Syrians. After all the Obama administrations GOAL was to take out Assad.

Why not have American's in to help the Kurds and our own interest if they are selling their oil. Why should we always be last in line for oil? ....we are independent but we can have leverage and give oil to another country who otherwise can't make a deal with the Syrians.
