The USA would illegally invade & occupy the USA to keep the oil.
Isn’t that sort of an absurd claim? The USA, the largest crude oil producer, steals paltry amounts of oil from Syria, one oil tanker at a time? Same for wheat. The U.S. exports 50% of its wheat, but loots Syrian wheat?
Seems rather excessive, doesn’t it? The genocide we’re currently supporting also seems a bit much.
Are you suggesting the US is stealing oil for the sake of being cruel? This is some sort of strategic effort at the highest levels to take 60 tanker trucks of oil?
This is literally what a US official openly explained https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MFsFOS5Odno&t=903s

No, this is a US official saying that they're plundering Syria in order to make people there suffer. Do you have comprehension problems that prevent you from understanding what's being said in the clip?
You understand who runs this empire, right? It isn’t Antony Blinken or Lloyd Austin
Okay, so it’s not for cruelty but for commerce? 60 trucks worth of oil? C’mon.
60 trucks 60 trucks 60 trucks is convincing to one user, anyway 🙄
