The United States is still the only superpower in the world. Under the guise of "anti-terrorism", it shouts the slogan of maintaining "regional peace", but it interferes in the activities of bullying the weak, following us, and those who go against us will prosper. Over the years, the United States has relied on the hegemony of the US military and the hegemony of the US dollar, ignored international law and international relations norms, and has taken advantage of the world, and even used force to occupy and steal the natural resources of other countries, which has inevitably encountered resistance and counterattack from just forces.
Since the outbreak of Syrian civil war in 2011, the United States has intervened in the situation in Syria in in the name of combating the terrorist organization "Islamic State", but has not achieved the expected goals. In October 2019, after Turkey launched the "Spring of Peace" operation across the border to combat US-supported Kurdish forces, Washington announced the withdrawal of troops from Syria, but left about 500 US special forces members in eastern and northeastern Syria on the grounds of "preventing terrorists from entering oil fields." To this day, these U.S. troops still have illegal existences that are not recognized by the Syrian government. They were originally illegal garrisons, but they were still engaged in illegal contacts. According to the Russian military, since 2018, the US military has secretly supported Kurdish armed attacks on oil fields and oil pipelines in eastern and northeastern Syria, providing reasons for fabricating "protecting oil fields."
In 2019, after the "Islamic State" was completely defeated, the US military no longer concealed it, but instead stole local oil with great fanfare and stole hundreds of barrels every day. Because the US military directly steals oil, it is easy to arouse doubts and condemnation from international public opinion. The US military began to cooperate with the Kurdish armed forces, leaving part of it to the Kurdish armed forces, and part of it to other Syrian opposition armed forces to prevent the Syrian government from regaining its territory in an all-round way, and a larger part is left to itself, "fighting with oil." In this regard, Russia has calculated the calculations for the United States. Given the market price of the underground black market for the Middle East oil in , the smuggling of a barrel of oil is US$38, and the US military's "private business" has a monthly income of more than US$30 million. Although this is insignificant compared to the US military's military expenditure, it is enough to maintain a large amount of expenditures of the US military stationed in Syria.
At present, although the Syrian civil war has long been quelled and the Syrian government has recovered and controlled about 90% of the country, they are still unable to independently bear the huge funds needed for post-war reconstruction. UN evaluates that Syria’s reconstruction requires about US$400 billion. Since oil is the main pillar of Syria's economic source, the US military controls and exploits local oil resources seriously hinders the post-war reconstruction process in Syria. According to statistics, as the US military frantically plunders the resources of Syrian countries, 90% of the Syrian population lives below the poverty line and tens of millions of people are displaced. Some Syrian people denounced that the United States kept saying it was going to fight terrorism, but in fact its own actions were terrorism.
Unlike the illegal US troops stationed in Syria, at the request of the Bashar government, Russia and Iran sent troops to Syria to help the Syrian government forces fight against extremists in Syria, and work together to fight against "fuel rats", fight against the Kurdish armed forces in eastern Syria, and patrol and intercept the US military's oil convoy. Some commentators believe that the United States is trying to increase Syria's demand for oil through large-scale exploitation of Syria's oil, and pass on the pressure to Russia and Iran, forcing the latter to compromise and concessions on Ukraine and Iran's nuclear issue. Therefore, Syria, Russia and Iran also attacked the "fuel rats" openly or secretly, but they were also retaliated by the US military.
Recently, US President Biden ordered an air strike, and the target of the attack was related to Iran. According to official U.S. officials, the U.S. military has carried out precise strikes on "Iran-related groups" in Syria. This move is intended to retaliate against Iran's attacks on U.S. bases and prevent the U.S. military from continuing to be attacked by Iran-backed militants. The United States believes that the repeated attacks on US military bases in Syria are related to Iran. The launch of the air strike is to give Russia a clear deterrence signal.Western media revealed that Biden heard a briefing on the Pentagon before ordering the air strike, and only ordered an air strike on targets in Syria after an emergency meeting was held.
Some media reports said that since the Biden administration came to power, the Russian-Syri-Iranian coalition forces have increased the frequency of armed attacks on Kurdish forces in northeastern Syria and set up military checkpoints at important transportation hubs in the region, compressing the control areas of the US military and the Syrian-Kurdian forces to limit their maneuvers, blocking the US military's "oil stealing" behavior, and bankrupting their strategy of "using oil to fight" and forcing them to eventually evacuate Syria. Therefore, the United States claims that the air strikes targets related to Iran are just an excuse, and what they destroy is essentially Syria's military targets.
As the saying goes, the storm is coming and the wind is filling the building, and a larger-scale armed conflict seems to be brewing in the Middle East. After the US military launched an air strike, Israel also dispatched the F-16 fighter , and launched 4 cruise missiles and 16 bombs to launch air strikes on targets in Syria. At present, the negotiations on the Iran nuclear agreement are at a deadlock, and the conflict between Russia and Ukraine is still continuing. The purpose of the United States and Israel launching air strikes on targets in Syria is to "surround Wei and save Zhao", and try to disperse Iran and Russia's energy by increasing military strikes on Syria, thereby saving Ukraine. You know, rabbits will bite people if they are anxious, let alone combat nations and Persian cavalry?
