US sends additional forces to Syria with support from Abrams




The publication, citing a source, writes that the Pentagon is awaiting the approval of the White House to send a small military contingent to Syria with the support of Abrams tanks. If approved, 15 tanks will be sent to protect oil fields in northeast Syria, i.e. half of the tank battalion. Arab-Kurdish military formations from the SDS (Syrian Democratic Forces), which "will continue to participate in ensuring the safety of oil fields", will join US Army personnel sent to Syria.

In turn, the American publication The Wall Street Journal, citing a source in the US administration, claims that the decision to send military contingent to Syria has already been made. To protect the oil fields, 500 troops from the US Army will be sent with the support of "several dozen tanks" and a small number of light armored vehicles.

The Pentagon has confirmed the sending of additional troops to Syria.

The US intends to strengthen its position in coordination with partners from the DSS (Syrian Democratic Forces) in northeast Syria with additional military forces and means

- It is said on the agency’s website.

According to American generals, the main task of the sent forces is to protect the oil fields located in Syria from the militants of the Islamic State terrorist organization banned in Russia.

            Yes, everywhere people are the same, than propaganda pumps up, that is what they believe. I will remind you what trash has been happening all these days on the VO website, regarding Syria and the agreement of the Russian Federation with Turkey. The bonnets threw up, not paying attention to any arguments. Well, how is it: the Russian Federation is a superpower, because Putin has knocked the Americans out of Syria bloodlessly and now they are nobody and they’re not calling them anything.
            And even such pearls were born in some minds:
            Well, Uncle Vova, he gives, builds the New World. And we are witnesses to this.
            Here is a share for our generation: to live in the heyday of the Union, its fall, the revival of Russia as the center of the world !!

            And the fact that the facts (that the United States did not go anywhere) said otherwise - but who is in the heat, some facts are paying attention laughing .
            Returning to Syria. Once again, I will share my thoughts:
            1) Not a single victory of the Russian Federation is visible even on the horizon. And even more so, such a victory cannot exist separately from the interests of Syria itself. And it is hardly in her interests to seize territory by another state. Especially considering that initially it was declared that Syria’s territorial integrity would be maintained. If only, we do not solve our personal interests there, like the United States.
            2) No real integrity of Syria, in the near future, is possible. The US will not go anywhere, Turkey too. Not for that, Erdogan and Trump killed so much time and spoiled nerves for each other, so that as a result they would give everything to the Russian Federation (Syria), but to scatter in different directions.
            3) The goal of the United States in such a deal with Turkey is to aggravate the conflict and allow the situational partnership to break out: Turkey - Russia - Syria (Iran stands apart in this situation). What we can already observe (source RBC :): Turkish troops and their allies attacked the positions of the Syrian government army in northeast Syria. This was reported by the Syrian state agency SANA, citing its correspondent.
            According to the agency, clashes occurred in the Tal Tamra region of Hasaka province. It is reported that Turkish forces tried to occupy several villages, the Syrian troops responded to the attack, but suffered losses. No exact loss data are provided.
            4) The goal of Turkey is the creation of a quasi-independent state in retained territories. With the subsequent possible development:
            a) if Assad nevertheless loses power, then the influence of Turkey (through the created controlled state) will spread to all of Syria (what will remain of it there eventually).
            b) if Assad holds on and the quasi-state being created fails to absorb the territories it holds, then subsequently there is the option of joining them as soon as a favorable political situation develops.
            5) The interests of the Syrian authorities, I think everyone understands.
            6) The interests of the Kurds - who will ask them, the big guys play a big game, just with the help of them.
            7) The interests of the Russian Federation - here I have a hitch, because the logic of the actions of the Russian Federation, and I say this seriously, I do not understand. We operate there, but it is not clear for what purposes and in whose interests. As a result, the situation is - and it is difficult to carry the "Syrian suitcase" and cannot be abandoned.

                Perhaps in someone’s personal interests, especially since such steps have already been taken. But ended in a massacre near Hisham. Now they write the same thing (source El-Murid):
                "Kurdish and opposition Syrian resources have reported a new massacre in the Hisham area (Deir ez-Zor province).
                Now a column of Syrian and Shiite soldiers who tried to once again move deeper into the territory towards the fields fell under the batch of the Americans. The number of casualties is comparable to that of February 18. "
                Therefore, for such a plan, the Americans need to go somewhere. Most likely, there really was such a plan, but as the saying goes "then something went wrong." hi

      Russia was rushing around Syria, destroying terrorists at its own expense (more precisely, at our own expense), and the United States went there for a specific purpose - the capture of Syrian oil. Now they are sitting on these oil rigs, pumping themselves oil, making money. Typical colonial policy - came, captured, deflated, dumped. They wanted to spit on Shiites, Sunnis, Alawites and Kurds, all taken together. Therefore, they live well, compared with us.
      And our loans to Africa were issued again yesterday to Africa, $ 5 billion for the purchase of Russian goods. Another $ 9 billion Russia agreed to invest in the form of investments. Not enough to write off $ 20 billion.

        Not certainly in that way. Most of the Syrian oil fields, such as Al-Omara or Tabiya, are owned by the FSA (simply repainted ISIS), and some by the Kurds. Moreover, the United States there acted as a "diluent", defining areas of responsibility. There are no American companies (or some other oil and gas producing companies in general) there at all. So far, I think all the income from illegal hydrocarbon production goes directly to the CCA and SDF cash desks. But a variant is possible when a considerable part of these funds goes to American non-budgetary funds for secret operations. Where, by the way, often comes financing of very openly "dirty" deals of the USA. Impossible to get through the Congressional budget committee

          Well, the 14-15th year the income from the sale of the IG counted $ 2 billion. They were exported to Turkey, and sold at a cheap price. And judging by the fact that no Turkish firms and banks were subjected to sanctions, Obama bought oil (with friends). Ours smashed the oil tankers to smithereens, the road was closed from Kurdistan by Erdogan, and the Kurds were not comme il faut from the north to the southern ports. So the Americans are trying to preserve the situation, sit on the banks of the Euphrates, wait until Putin and Assad pass by.

        That's right! Fighting ISIS for oil! How can you fight against if you are their sponsor? But in general, the logic of the Americans is purely commercial. We sponsor a gang, pretend that we catch them, they switch to self-sufficiency, we have money, influence and image of fighters against banditry! When the states fought against Yugoslavia, Iraq and Libya, there was a different alignment! There, the states of the opponents were rolled into asphalt.

        I believe in common sense. And he is in this situation. The only functioning international institution remains the UN. After its creation, there was a constant struggle between the USA and the USSR, for the "votes" at the UN Assembly. The world was divided in half - capitalist countries and socialist countries. And in the makeweight were underdeveloped countries.
        And there were not a few of them, and mainly in Africa. And there are not many, not few, but 1/3 of all
        composition of the UN countries. So we constantly "butted" with the United States for these votes. With some force, and with whom bribery. After the collapse of the USSR, all of Africa began to vote on the side of the United States. All our attempts at the assemblies were unsuccessful. Americans
        began to greet by leaps and bounds. What is the way out of this situation? Only one thing is to return to the policies pursued by the USSR, which they gradually began to do. Now, when the Americans refused our visa, we called on the UN countries to consider moving the UN headquarters to another country. Here we opened our map. -
        held a summit of African states (54!) in our territory. Because it happened unexpectedly quickly, it can be assumed that the foundation of the summit was not laid yesterday, and was carefully hiding from prying ears. Yes, we are incurring some costs (much lower than under the USSR), but in the strategy of international relations, these are trifles. Votes for the Russian Federation at the UN will significantly increase. And the first victory will be the transfer of the UN headquarters from the United States.
        And it is real - a matter of time. Yes hi

        And who has the rights to these deposits? And how is oil transported?

        The two largest oil companies in Syria are the Syrian Oil Company (SPC), which is owned by the Syrian Ministry of Oil and Mineral Resources, and the Al-Furat Petroleum Company, 50% of which is owned by SPC, and the remaining 50% is owned by foreigners. The joint venture currently includes an SPC with 50%, an Anglo-Dutch Shell with 32%, and the remainder owned by Himalaya Energy Syria, a consortium of China National Petroleum Company and India’s oil and natural gas corporation. As of December 2011 Shell suspends operations in Syria due to EU sanctions. Another important Deira consortium is the Ezor-Zor Petroleum Company, owned by SPC and France. “Total. The total number of suspended operations in the country since December 2011. A later member is Gulfsands Petroleum in the UK. As of February 2012, Gulfsands suspended its Syrian operations due to EU sanctions.
        With US support, SDF controls Syria's largest oil field in Al Omar in the eastern province of Deir ez-Zor, as well as the Tanak and Jafra fields. They also own the Rmeilan field in the northeastern province of Hasaka, as well as smaller ones there and in the northern province of Rakka.
        A Russian-backed regime owns the country's largest gas field in Sha'er, as well as Sadad and Arak. He also controls the fields in Deir ez-Zor, Raqqa and the central province of Homs.
        Crude oil production fell by more than 99% from 2010-16. From 385 barrels per day (000 barrels per day) to 2000 barrels per day, according to data provided by Ghanem in April. Natural gas production fell by 2000% from 69 million cubic meters per day to 21 million over the same period.
        After the regime took the Homs oil and gas fields from ISIL in 2017, production increased to 24 barrels per day for oil and 000 million cubic meters for gas. However, this is 20% of Syria's oil needs and 60-70% of gas needs.

      I do not understand something. Assad invites us to protect the Syrians, and are Americans going to protect the wells on their own initiative or something?)) Assad must understand one thing: the Americans will be there until he makes an official statement demanding the withdrawal of the American contingent. And this should also be done at the official level, and not in an interview with some channel. Last year’s theme, but nothing has changed.
      [/ quote] Lt. Gen. Kenneth Mackenzie, representative of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the US Armed Forces, said that an attack on the military forces of the country and its allies in Syria would be a bad decision, reports The Washington Post.
      “Any interested party in Syria should understand that an attack on the forces of the United States or our allies will be a bad decision,” Mackenzie said at a briefing, commenting on the words of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad about the need to withdraw the US military from the country.
      Assad previously said in an interview with RT that US forces should withdraw from Syria. “This is our land, and it is our right and duty to free it. And the Americans must leave, and sooner or later it will happen, ”he said. [/ I]

      simple questions.
      1. From whom on the territory of Syria did Syrians gather to defend Syrian oil?
      2. What document allows Americans to enter Syrian territory without the permission of a legitimate government?
      3. Obviously, the extracted oil is sold and taken away. Does the Syrian people receive anything from this sale, other than American tanks?
      4. To what point in time do contingents plan to stay?

        2. What document allows Americans to enter Syrian territory without the permission of a legitimate government?

        On September 10, 2014, the United States announced the creation of a broad international coalition to defeat the Islamic State of Iraq (ISIS). (banned in the Russian Federation) in Syria.
        And only in 2015, Russia began the operation in Syria and completed it three times.

      It’s easy to wave a saber, only Assad understands what will happen to Syria if just a couple of destroyers come up and launch a full volley of missiles. If he is a responsible politician, he will maneuver, choosing a convenient moment for the expulsion of the Americans.

      No words ... Ours control the bare desert, and the Americans oil (money). It was not necessary to stop the Turks, maybe all the same they would have clashed with the ISIS winners ... How much money Russia wasted into Syria for nothing, there were only 10 - ok Iskander and Caliber in Cuba ... We give billions of dollars to the right, to the left, so that we would buy Papuans are our goods, we build nuclear plants on credit, etc., and then we forgive.
      Therefore, 19,5 million of our fellow citizens survive, low pensions, and women with diamonds in their ears are asking the poor, children for operations that, for the same reason, are done only in the West or in Israel ...

      The publication, citing a source, writes that the Pentagon is awaiting the approval of the White House to send a small military contingent to Syria with the support of Abrams tanks. If approved, 15 tanks will be sent to protect oil fields in northeast Syria, i.e. half of the tank battalion. Arab-Kurdish military formations from the SDS (Syrian Democratic Forces), which "will continue to participate in ensuring the safety of oil fields", will join US Army personnel sent to Syria.
