Dumb as dog sheet, what a complete balls up.

The US are going to occupy Syrian oil fields?

The US just f.... their allies and fed them to the Turks.

Good luck trying to hold the oil fields that are not yours in a country you are not welcome, against enemies from every side, with no allies.

Trump is an absolute disgusting human being for just what he has done to so called allies and the civilian population of the area.

Moron in chief strikes again, and people are dying from his stupidity.

Pentagon planning to send tanks, armored vehicles to Syrian oil fields

WASHINGTON – The Pentagon is preparing to send tanks and armored vehicles to Syrian oil fields, according to a U.S. official – a stunning reversal of President Trump's decision to withdraw U.S. forces from the war-torn country after he declared victory over ISIS.

The deployment of heavy armor to Syria would represent a significant escalation in the fight, requiring a contingent of additional troops to operate and maintain the vehicles, as well as forces to protect their bases.

Earlier this month, Trump ordered that virtually all of the 1,000 U.S. troops be withdrawn from Syria, a move met with bipartisan condemnation as an abandonment of Kurdish allies in the fight against ISIS.

A Defense Department official said the Pentagon is sending additional forces to northeastern Syria to prevent the oil fields from falling back into the hands of the ISIS. Both officials were not authorized to speak publicly.

or will they claim that it's another Trump 3D chess move demonstrating "unmatched wisdom"....and certainly not responding to the pressure from the pentagon..
