A large US military convoy has entered oil fields in northeastern Syria despite widespread condemnation of the deployment as being tantamount to robbery.

The United States sent new deployments to the Syrian provinces of Hasakah and Dayr al-Zawr from neighboring Iraq on Sunday, according to the state-run Al-Ikhbariya TV.

The US vehicles were carrying logistical equipment that would be provided to the so-called Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), a Kurdish militant group, in the eastern countryside of Dayr al-Zawr.

Turkey’s state-owned Anadolu Agency said the convoy contained 4x4 pickups, ambulances, minibuses and 100 rigs filled with fuel oil.

According to the report, the deployment is the second of its kind in less than a month.

Earlier this month, the US army deployed armored vehicles, pickups, heavy construction equipment and about 150 rigs to the region.

The deployments come after President Donald Trump said in October that the US troops would remain in Syria to "secure" the oilfields there. Damascus as well as regional movers and shakers voiced their strong opposition to Trump's decision to seize Syrian oil fields.

Blood and Treasure, so long as neither is yours. Right, Donnie?

But I was told that they wouldn't be there at all, then that they wouldn't be there long, and now I'm not sure what the party-approved logic is today.

I'm sure that I will find out soon.

Another proof that GOPA wing leadership is keeper of promises.

'Take the oil' and come back home quickly, preferably within this decade.

I am betting it's the old "he has to do it or they will impeach him" story.

Does this mean the exit from Syria is underway?

"We will be out of Syria in 30 days." Trump- December 2018.

#1 Getting your information from communists that hate the USA just to say "ORANGE MAN BAD"
#2 How the F would they know what equipment they were carrying and who it was for?

Can we get ANY common sense, skepticism, and objectivity on this forum?

Team (R) in the Senate are holding Dear Leader as a hostage. He must do their dirty work, or pay with impeachment. I am getting good at this propaganda stuff!

So, spudea is triggered, hits the bitch button and compares me to zippy. Lol, the struggle is real.

What a waste of all those soldiers who the taxpayers have paid to train as well drillers and pipeline maintainers. The daily oil production in Syria is about 2/3's that of the State of Ohio. That is to say - less than a drop of fly piss in the greater scheme of world petroleum production. Bring the troop's home. Put them to work in our oil fields. Frack baby, frack!

The irony of a Trump fan accusing someone else of lacking "common sense, skepticism and objectivity" is so thick you'd need a chain saw to hack through it.

You could get a job doing it! There might be people around who could point you in the right direction. Can't imagine who, but maybe.

He wouldn't know "objectivity" if it weighed 400 lb's and sat on his face.
