米軍シリア撤退→批判→シリアの石油を確保→批判→売却益はクルドに→トルコの逆鱗に触れる

米国の外交と外国研究は、本当に品質が落ちた。ぐたぐた。

国際法違反の米軍進駐だけで大問題なのに、そこにある地下資源を「盗掘」して「密輸出」して「利益をネコババ」なんて話は、いかなる国際会議でも通らない。

激しい対米批判に抗しきれないからこそ、「いや、売却益は米軍が受け取るのではなく、クルドに全額渡す」とその場しのぎで苦しい言い訳したら、今度は一旦静まったかに見えたトルコを怒らせてしまった。

目も当てられない米国外交の惨状。頭悪すぎ。日本もそろそろ距離を置くことを考えた方がいい。朝鮮半島問題で何されるかわからないぞ。既にシンガポール会談で1回、騙されている。ツイッターで切り捨てられる日本の未来が目に浮かぶ。

Northern Syrian Oil Field Revenue Goes to SDF, Not US, Pentagon Claims

Earlier, a report by the AP suggested that Washington could leave up to 800 troops to guard Syrian oil wells in Deir ez-Zor governorate, despite Russia slamming the US actions as "illegitimate".

Pentagon spokesman Jonathan Rath Hoffman has assured that the proceeds from the Syrian oil fields under its control would not go to the US, but to its Kurdish allies, the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF). He added that despite the US withdrawal from the country's north, announced in October, Washington continues to work with the SDF, providing them with the "ability and support" to fight Daesh*.

The Pentagon spokesman also stated that American commanders stationed near the oil fields in northern Syria have the right to defend themselves against other forces if these come under threat.
"Keeping the Oil" in Syria

Previously, AP reported, citing anonymous US officials, that the White House and Pentagon had decided to leave approximately 800 soldiers to protect the oil fields in the Arab Republic in an area stretching nearly 150 kilometres from Deir ez-Zor to al-Hasakah. According to earlier statements by Defence Secretary Mark Esper, the US will be "defending" them from Daesh* remnants, while US President Donald Trump was more ambiguous, simply saying that the US would be "keeping the oil".

The sources, speaking to the AP, stressed that it was still unclear to what extent US servicemen would go to fend off Russian or Syrian forces if they decide to return control over the oil wells to their rightful owner, Damascus. Moscow previously condemned the US move to establish a military presence near Syria’s oil fields as "illegitimate" and called for them to be turned over to the Syrian government.

At the same time, the Syrian Army reclaimed one of the oil fields in the country's northeast, near the city of Qamishli, on 5 November, after losing control over it several years ago, according to a SANA news agency report.



US doesn’t hide it’s in Syria for oil, uses revenues to fund terrorism – Turkish FM

Turkey’s Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu has accused the United States of breaking international law by taking control of oil fields in eastern Syria. “They openly admit that they are there for the oil reserves,” the diplomat said as cited by Anadolu news agency.

Cavusoglu said it was outrageous that the US was using revenues from the oil, which belongs to the Syrian people, to fund Kurdish militias. Ankara considers the YPG forces a terrorist group. The remarks were made during a joint press conference with Hadi Soleimanpour, the Secretary General of the Economic Cooperation Organization, a regional intergovernmental organization.
