Donald Trump Is Pulling Out Of Syria

[Amarok]

Unless of course Elon Musk, the political left, and all the climate change alarmists are all wrong and we really do need the oil...

 
...you mean the crushing majority of scientists?  The people best qualified to examine the issue?  All of them are 'alarmists'?

Well my friend he needs some way to make this about the "evil left" no matter how unrelated and frankly absurd it is .

All the noise about ISIS and humanitarian efforts has always just been a pretense. We're only there for oil. ISIS will be around for a long time because they're fanatics. Let someone else keep them in check for a while. The only question we should be concerned with is whether or not that oil is worth all the aggravation. If the goal is to use less oil, pollute less, and save the planet from global warming (or whatever) then pulling out of Syria would seem to be a step in the right direction.

Unless of course Elon Musk, the political left, and all the climate change alarmists are all wrong and we really do need the oil...

Based on 2015 production statistics, Syria produced 30K barrels/day (ranked 66th), the U.S. produced 9.41M barrels/day (ranked 3rd).  I have seen recent article claiming that the U.S. is now the number one oil producing nation.  The U.S. is most assuredly not in Syria for the oil.

And that was in 2015 after years of war I can't imagine there production has gone up much as for America it's at a peak of oil production not seen since the 70's

It's only 2000 troops, meh.

You wouldn't say " meh" were you one of those 2000....

Of course it not just the troops it's all the people who support the troops
