Hiding Behind Fighting ISIS U.S. Intends to Seize Syria’s Oil

As the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) progresses towards Deir Ezzor, the U.S.-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), mostly made up of Syrian Kurds, began to prepare for a military offensive on the Syrian city in order to prevent legitimate government forces from re-establishing military control over their oil rich-territory.

Despite all promises that the U.S. doesn’t intend to extend its [grossly illegal] presence in Syria after defeating [it's useful proxy army] ISIS, Washington continues to increase the number of American military and set up new [illegal] bases in Syria.

Yesterday, Gulf News reported that the U.S.-led Coalition had dropped off an elite squad in the eastern part of the province of Deir Ezzor. According to many experts, its prior goal is to gather intelligence and prepare staging ground for the SDF’s offensive in Deir Ezzor.

This position is proven by Ahmed Abu Khawla, a SDF official. Khawla said, the SDF could start its assault on Deir Ezzor “within several weeks” in parallel with an ongoing battle for nearby Raqqa city. Khawla also added that all military plans were absolutely ready.

Besides, according to sources close to the SDF, the U.S.-backed forces intend to conduct an assault from the province of Al-Hasakah, where the U.S. Special Forces troops were dropped off.

Considering the U.S. and the Coalition have illegally invaded Syria’s territory, there is only one tired, criminal strategy for Washington to remain in Syria – to establish full control over Deir Ezzor. In this case the United States are helped by the Kurds, who are also interested in seizing oil fields.

In his turn, Talal Silo, spokesman of the SDF, said that Washington had “a strategy policy for decades to come.”

Obviously, the U.S. actions in Syria are unlikely to be limited to fighting ISIS. Perhaps, it is only a part of the plan to destroy urban infrastructure and overthrow Assad’s government in Syria. Now it is extremely important for the SAA not to let the U.S.-backed forces seize the initiative in Deir Ezzor. The future of the country and geopolitical strategic equation will depend on who will control the strategic region of oil rich-territory in Syria.

[There you have it in a nutshell, the U.S. perpetual war LIE about fighting terrorism is a RUSE -- now internationally exposed by the Iraq and Libyan catastrophes -- fighting terrorism is merely a pretext for resource THEFT. The Neocon strategy to STEAL resources from other weaker nations rather than engage in mutual and beneficial trade relations like China's approach. One wonders about the international puppet courts in the Hague that remain passive/neutered when the U.S. engages in overt, grossly criminal invasions and occupations. Moreover, the question remains, what will Putin do as he and al-Assad have been aware of this plan from the start?]
