Democratic presidential hopeful Joe Biden, who again within the good outdated Obama administration days lobbied for the arming of ‘average’ rebels in Syria, has slammed Trump for downgrading the US navy to an oilfield occupation pressure.
“Leaving troops behind like [Trump’s] doing now – he says that what he needs to do is we’re going to occupy the oil fields and we’re going to take ‘em…” Biden instructed the Wall Avenue Journal.

Oh, and Islamic State terrorists in fact.
That’s like an enormous 300-foot recruiting poster for ISIS
As if solely a terrorist would oppose an unlawful US occupation and deny People their God-given proper to loot sovereign nations’ pure assets, Biden didn’t criticize the ‘safe the oil’ coverage per se, however fairly lamented yet one more ‘betrayal’ of US allies.
Again in his prime days within the Obama administration, Biden lobbied for a $ 500-million Syrian insurgent prepare and equip program – though he admitted that discovering even a single ‘average’ sufficient revolutionary may show onerous, if not inconceivable, because it was unlikely there was “a Thomas Jefferson hiding behind some rock, or a James Madison past one sand dune.”

“I like oil! We’re holding the oil!” Trump proclaimed as he pulled the troops, making it clear that the one purpose US maintains a small (but nonetheless unlawful) navy presence after the pullout was to disclaim Damascus entry to its pure assets. Every month the US smuggles crude price some $ 30 million out of Syria, based on Russia’s estimates – which isn’t solely in violation of worldwide legislation however, paradoxically, additionally in breach of its personal unilateral sanctions towards the war-ravaged state.
Even Syrian President Bashar Assad needed to give Trump credit score for thus overtly admitting to symbolize the pursuits of American lobbies, in stark distinction with the earlier equally ‘legal’ Nobel Peace Prize administration that posed because the “defenders of human rights and noble and distinctive American values.”
