hmm. no they didn't. amazing how its been almost 20 years and its not until trump is a week away from being out of office that this shocking detail comes out. i'm guessing saudi arabia bribed trump to attack iran using US troops and when he lost the election it hosed up their timetables.

I think Pompeo is running State on his own at this point. War with Iran fits into Pompeo's overall ideological project, so it makes sense for him to set the stage for it even if he doesn't personally oversee it.

Trump seems pretty distracted with everything else going down in the US.

YPG is a sub-affiliate of the Kurdistan’s Working Party (PKK), which is designated by the United States government as a Foreign Terrorist Organization.

crossposting from economics thread with a big lol

quote:

Calls to boost the bloc’s autonomy gained steam after the U.S. imposed sanctions on Iran that would also punish European banks, companies and people who do business with the Islamic republic. The commission’s plan reflects increasing pressure by member states for the EU to adopt tools that will allow it to pursue its foreign-policy goals with less recourse to an unpredictable U.S. ally.

The U.S.’s ability to enforce international sanctions because of the dollar’s power “has seriously affected the EU’s and its member states’ ability to advance foreign policy objectives,” the commission said in its strategy paper. Policy made in Washington has, at times, “compromised legitimate trade and investment of EU businesses.”

I feel it should be remembered that Trump is yet another leader to fall to the Assad curse. He wasn't as hawkish as the neocons wished, but he still took multiple actions against the Syrian government.

According to the report, the convoy included some 40 trucks and armored vehicles and was backed from the air by helicopters.

It entered Syria from Iraq via the al-Waleed crossing to bring arms and logistical equipment to the bases in Hasakeh and Deir Ezzor provinces.

Other local media report that such maneuvers are not unusual as the US often moves transfers equipment between Iraq and Syria.

According to the report, the troops are set to deploy on the nearby oilfields, with Kurdish-controlled eastern Syria rich in energy resources.

https://www.politico.com/news/2020/08/03/delta-crescent-energy-syrian-oil-391033

quote:

An American company has inked a contract with Kurdish authorities in northeastern Syria to develop and export the region’s crude oil under a secretive deal approved by the U.S. government months after President Donald Trump announced he was leaving U.S. troops to “secure the oil,” multiple people familiar with the project told POLITICO.

The agreement reached by a little-known firm helmed by politically connected former military and diplomatic officials has already angered the government of Syrian President Bashar Assad, which does not recognize the Kurdish authorities as autonomous. The Syrian Foreign Minister called the deal illegal and said it is aimed at “stealing” Syria’s crude.

With one hand he saves gebs. With the other he commits goblin genocide. A true neutral.

How accurate was the trueanon interview about that oil deal?

They said the sdf is courting both Russia and USA for an oil deal while the USA was trying to strong arm the sdf into dealing with them and playing the good cop to bad cop turkey. And the announced deal was just the usa pretending it was a done deal.
