US may keep troops in Syria to guard the oil

Got to protect that oil:

KABUL, Afghanistan – The U.S. may leave some forces in Syria to secure oilfields and make sure they don’t fall into the hands of a resurgent Islamic State, Defense Secretary Mark Esper said Monday, even though President Donald Trump has insisted he is pulling troops out of the country and getting out of “endless wars.”

Trump was clear, the troops are coming home. Home includes oil fields in Syria, protecting Iraq on the Iranian border and joining the additional 3,000 US troops going to our key ally Saudi Arabia to assist the fight against the Houthi's in Yemen who were responsible for 9/11.

MAGA!!!!

Once again, libtards fail to understand.

Maybe Trump isn’t pulling the troops out. But at least he SAYS he is.

Who else is saying that? No one.

That’s why we love Trump. He says he’s getting shit done!

Is he actually doing it? No.

But he says he is, and who else is doing even that?

The US moves 60 troops away to somewhere else. 

“Clearly this is the end of America.”

Wtf lmfao

It's like when dubya invaded iraq and they made sure troops were sent to protect the oil ministry while they left the Iraqi national museum to the looters.

If we failed to secure the oil facilities and they were captured by ISIS, how  many of the OG soy boys would be in here making threads bashing Trump for it?

I agree that in the overall scheme of things the oil needs to be protected.  However, if you say you are bringing them home and don't, you deserve some criticism.

The question is, how will Tulsi Gabbard respond to this. The basis of her entire platform was bringing the troops home.  Then when Trump said he was doing it, she freaked out and said we can't because of the Kurds.   Now that Trump isn't really bringing the troops home, will she be happy about it, or outraged all over again?

They're openly using isis to manipulate us into further interventions

Trump protects oil fields: Orange man bad

Trump doesn't protect oil fields and ISIS gets them: Orange Man Bad

 

I think I have that right.

And hunter Biden don't forget him

The American oil strategy since WW2 has been "use theirs first."

No matter how much oil we can produce, the long term plan is to be the last one with it, so it's inevitable we have to fight wars to protect supplies. 

Yup

We will buy all your natural, limited resources with this unlimited green paper.

Orange Man says he's bringing troops home.

Orange Man moves them from Syria to Iraq.

You'd probably have a tiny bit of credibility if just once you actually said something like "Yeah, I'm not with Trump on this one" instead of these really weak attempts to deflect, project and/or spin.
