The US needs to stop “stealing” the oil from the Syrian people and state, Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Tuesday, after meeting with his Iranian and Turkish counterparts in Tehran. The three guarantors of the “Astana process” also agreed that the US should leave the trans-Euphrates, and stop making the humanitarian crisis in Syria worse with their unilateral sanctions.
American troops must leave the territory east of the Euphrates river and “stop robbing the Syrian state, the Syrian people, exporting oil illegally,” Putin told reporters on Tuesday evening. He said this was a “common position” of Russia, Iran and Turkey.
Several hundred US troops are illegally present in Syria, mainly controlling the oil wells and wheatfields in the country’s northeast, controlled by the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) militia since the defeat of Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS) terrorists. The US-backed SDF has refused to reintegrate with the government in Damascus, which Washington wishes to see overthrown.
Since 2019, the US has sought to punish anyone trying to assist the reconstruction of war-torn Syria via the “Caesar Syria Civilian Protection Act,” accusing the government of President Bashar Assad of war crimes and blocking all assistance to Damascus.
Putin said on Tuesday that such sanctions have had “disastrous results” and that humanitarian aid to Syria “should not be politicized.”
During Tuesday’s summit in Tehran, Putin met with Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi and Turkey’s Recep Tayyip Erdogan. In a joint declaration, the three presidents confirmed their conviction that “there can be no military solution to the Syrian conflict,” only a political one under the leadership of the UN. They also condemned “unilateral sanctions violating international law” that are exacerbating the serious humanitarian situation in Syria, urging the UN and other international organizations to “increase assistance to all Syrians, without discrimination, politicization and preconditions.”
Russia sent an expeditionary force to Syria in September 2015, at the request of Damascus, to help defeat IS and other terrorist groups. In January 2017, Moscow, Ankara and Tehran launched the “Astana process” – named after the capital of Kazakhstan – to resolve the conflict in Syria, which began in 2011.

Putin should also be addressing Israel. It was for Israel the wars in the Middle East were started in the first place!

I have to admire true leaders like Putin and Viktor Orban. They have to make tough choices, with the whole Western world condemning them.

Common sense decisions concerning foreign policy started to go bad with the Roosevelt administration. It was the second fully Jewish-controlled administration after Woodrow Wilson but, definitely caused much more damage. Harry Truman took a substantial bribe to give America’s vote for the creation of Israel. He basically followed Roosevelt’s stupidity. And, you are right. Britain was a Zionist-occupied entity long before the U.S. was. Hopefully, the Anglo-American empire will come to an end soon since they bit off far more than they can chew by making Russia and China enemies at the same time. For some reason, the Neocons just couldn’t figure out that Russia was not Iraq!

Have you read The Clash of the Two Americas by Matthew Ehert, papasha408? I’m more inclined to agree with his take on the Roosevelt administration, especially the ultimatum he gave Churchill about ending European colonization of the third world as a condition of US entry into World War II.

Thank you for the information. This will take some pondering, but I can say I have believed Wilson and FDR together turned the US over to the Rothschild international banking cartel.

I think it’s a chicken and egg thing, papasha408. Without the US-Anglo empire, there would be no Israel to disrupt the formation of a unified Arab republic.

I bought all 3 volumes of the Clash of the two Americas on Kindle. Started reading. I have to assume he never really mentions the Zionist destructive influence on Western Civilization or he would never get published. I believe only America Free Press and a few others actually name the Tribe.

He mentions it. His book is self-published. Amazon allows you to self-publish on Kindle.
