Syria is now mired in famine, with about 55% of Syria's population, or 12.9 million people, facing food insecurity, with 3.1 million of them facing acute food insecurity, according to the latest report from the United Nations World Food Programme.
However, Syria has 4.736 million hectares of agricultural cultivation, and the land sandwiched between the Euphrates and Tigris rivers is fertile and rich in wheat, barley, corn and other crops. Before the turmoil in 2011, Syria was an exporter of wheat and other grains.
In recent years, the weather conditions in Syria have been very good, and it stands to reason that there should be an increase in food income, but the reality is that the Syrian people have fallen into famine, what is the reason behind this?
If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, and the situation in the Middle East must be related to the United States.
In recent years, Syrian state media have repeatedly reported that U.S. forces have stolen Syrian resources and transferred them to U.S. military bases in Iraq. In April this year, Syrian media also photographed nearly 70 vehicles from the United States forming a team to smuggle oil and wheat and other resources in advance. Although the United States itself produces oil and grain, the US military has never stopped smuggling grain and oil in other countries.
In addition to transporting oil and grain to its own military bases, the United States also supports armed opposition forces fighting for grain in the hands of farmers. In fact, the wheat producing area of Syria has been occupied by the US military and the opposition Kurdish forces supported by the Syrian government, although the Syrian government offered a price of 900 Syrian pounds higher than the opposition forces, but the United States and the opposition forces supported by the Syrian government have set up barriers to prevent the Syrian government from buying grain, resulting in the people of Hasakah province unable to sell grain to the government. Before the US occupation, the Syrian government bought about 1.5 million tonnes of wheat a year from Hasakah province, up from 100,000 tonnes this year, the data showed.
The United States is creating famine in Syria while claiming to be a free and democratic country. What is even more interesting is that those countries in Europe defend human rights at every turn, but they do not even dare to verbally condemn the United States in Syria.
As netizens ridiculed, when oil is found anywhere, American fighter jets will arrive in an instant. When the U.S. military discovers that Van Gogh's painting is an oil painting, the F35 fighter will also appear in the painting.
The Syrian Foreign Ministry has said that the United States' practice of stealing other countries' resources by force is an act of "piracy." The Russian side has also said that the US military sent troops to control the Syrian oil fields as a "bandit operation" to control the oil resources of this Middle Eastern country. Former U.S. President Donald Trump once bluntly said, "We keep our soldiers there just for oil."
In order to maintain the hegemony of the petrodollar, the sins committed by the United States are too numerous to mention. However, the general trend of history is unstoppable, and all countries in the Middle East are slowly waking up, and now Saudi Arabia and Iran have reconciled, and the petrodollar anchor agreement between Saudi Arabia and the United States has not been renewed.
There is no doubt that the United States will continue to weaken. Hegemonism, which does not practice benevolence and righteousness and only knows how to seize by force, is doomed to not last long!
