    LOLOL.. Good link. Did you see that primitive bootleg oil refinery?

    Syria signs offshore oil and gas exploration deal with Russia
    https://www.rt.com/business/syria-oil-gas-russia-795

    The contract is “the first ever for oil and gas exploration in Syria's waters,” General Petroleum Company head Ali Abbas told AFP.

    As a result of international sanctions, Syria’s oil production has declined by 90 percent since the start of the uprising against President Bashar Assad in March 2011.

    Be great if the media, Necons and Neolibs would actually let us leave Syria.

    Trump supporters will definitely not be happy with this.

    WE NEED TO LEAVE SYRIA NOW, I DON'T GIVE TWO SQUATS ABOUT THEIR OIL OR THEIR COMMUNIST SDF (Made up of Kurds, Arabs, Christians, etc)

    I am not sure, but are you saying this is bad? Or you disagree with this?

    So they want to partner with Russia, who basically saved their country from being destroyed by the Deep State.

    How is this different from the US partnering with Saudi Arabia?

    From my end, seems like Russia and Syria were able to stave off the Deep State long enough for "We the People" to wake up and destroy it from the inside.

    The US has never partnered with Saudi Arabia..

    I am saying that Trump's BS about TAKING Syrian oil is just that.. BS.

    Was I surprised when Russia took control of Syria's oil? NOPE. Bashar Assad is incompetent.

    Wait, you are saying that Saudi Arabia and the United States do not have a partnership?

    I am sorry, I just don't really know what to even respond to this with.

    The Petro Dollar? The initial infrastructure built and explored by the US? The troops protecting Saudi Arabia?
    The fact that after 1945, Saudi Arabia and the United States became MUCH closer than anything Russia and Syria are doing?

    Nope.. NO partnership between the US government and KSA . ARAMCO spent 50 years keeping the US government from screwing up in KSA.. The agreement was PRIVATE between US companies and the SAG. The US government didn't have a thing to do with it.

    Saudi Arabian oil from Ghawar fueled the Marshall Plan.. and the Saudis supplied our troops in Vietnam..

    If the US government had gotten involved, KSA would have blown up like Iraq and Iran.

    The above is simply not true. The US is partnered with El Saud in Yemen - and they were partnered with El Saud (and numerous other nations) in Syria.

    We were discussing the oil business.. The US government has NOT been in the oil business in KSA. Pay attention.

    MUST be true. Russia said it.
    Seeing how it was the French and Chinese who won the Iraq oil contracts
    after the 2nd Gulf War, and seeing how America has no oil of its own, and
    seeing how America can't import oil from just about anywhere on earth -
    I suppose they have to smuggle it out of Syria.
    Makes sense.

    1. Russia lies
    2. Don't care, Trump said we were taking some of the oil. We have to keep it out of ISIS hands. However we should keep a tally and reimburse the government of Syria.. AFTER this whole mess is over.

    Again Russia can just go to hell.

    Robert, Trump is lying. We aren't taking Syrian oil. No US oil company would do that.

    Yes, I know.. like Manifa or Safanya..

    Developing Syria's off shore reserves will be done by Russia when and IF the market demand is there. Currently it is NOT.. and they aren't going to put in the infrastructure, drill wells and LOSE money.

    You appear to have a very shallow understanding of what's been going on in Syria for the last 7 or 8 years.

    We're NOT going to take Syrian oil.. No US oil company would touch it. Trump is real stupid... He has no idea why.
