When the United States sent troops to Syria, it shouted: for peace and so on. It can be said that it is full of moral benevolence, but in fact, it has engaged in the business of robbery and plundering, not only robbing the local oil resources, but also plundering the local agricultural products, and even burning the fire that cannot be taken away. The situation has long been reported, even the Americans themselves do not deny that former US President Trump once openly admitted that the purpose of stationing troops in Syria is for oil.
Stealing oil convoys
U.S. theft has caused huge economic losses to Syria, syria once accused the United States of stealing oil cost Syria tens of billions of dollars, before the civil war, Syria's oil production can reach 380,000 barrels per day, now only 60,000 barrels remain, and most of it is controlled by the US military. The pirate operation carried out by the US military has caused irreparable losses at all costs, and has suffered serious losses to Syria's oil and gas resources.
In addition to robbing oil, the U.S. military also plundered local agricultural products, mainly wheat, and every harvest season, the United States would carry out large-scale robberies. Delivering grain to the black market in Iraq not only makes high profits, but also creates food shortages in Syria, which can be described as sinister intentions.

The actions of the Americans naturally caused a wave of indignation among the locals, and Russia also angrily denounced the behavior of the American troops. On Jan. 14, Russian media released a video, filmed by Ka-52 helicopters and drones, showing a U.S. military oil smuggling convoy entering Iraq from eastern Syria to the Walid crossing. The convoy photographed at the time was passing near the town of Kamishli. According to the Russian side, the CONVO fleet enters Iraq almost every day to transport Syrian oil for sale on the black market. Relevant reports have attracted a lot of comments, and some Russians even advocated: attacking convoys, Ka-52 strafing, Su-34 throwing bombshells, it can be said that all kinds of extremes.

If you look back, many people are dissatisfied with this, there were once threats to attack the US convoy, and now the oil stealing convoy is threatened to intercept! The U.S. military did not agree, and the U.S. military would often send Apache live ammunition to escort it. Moreover, as early as after the Russian army entered Syria, American advisers warned Russia through the local Kurds: do not interfere with the US convoy! The US side said that the Russian army attacked the US convoy and the convoys of its allies, which was to go to war against the US army! Moreover, in the follow-up joint patrol of the United States and Russia in Syria, the US military has also repeatedly stressed that it should not attack the convoys of the US military and its allies, which is a clear warning to the Russian army.

Is this the US military warning the Russian army to dare to fire? Maybe it's just a bluff, now that the United States and Russia are in a state of confrontation in Syria, no one will take the initiative to attack each other. If you study it for a while, you can find that the US military is now underpowered, and the threat to the Russian army is not directly issued, but there are so-called "American advisers" who convey it to Russia through the Kurds. This is completely unnecessary behavior, the United States and Russia have a liaison mechanism in Syria, do not dare to say it directly, around the bend to express the attitude itself is a weak and bottomless performance, perhaps not at all to threaten the Russian army, but to cheer up their allies Kurds.
The size of the US troops stationed in Syria is very limited, in Syria it belongs to the rats crossing the street, everyone shouts and fights, once the US military moves, the US military will fall into a kind of heavy encirclement, so why does the US military dare to do something to the Russian army? The Russian-Syrian coalition forces are reluctant to directly intervene with the US military, but are constantly advancing to the northeast of Syria, and many reports of US patrols being intercepted by the Syrian army can already be seen, and it is obvious that the US area of activity is being compressed. Squeezing the U.S. military's area of activity eventually forced the U.S. to withdraw from Syria.

The days of U.S. forces seizing the land will not be long off, and perhaps soon they will have to pack their bags and get out of Syria, as they did in Afghanistan.
