Very based!

Also it seems to me that Multitotal did imperialist apología by denying the plunder of Syrian oil by the US through the Rojava territory in this thread with Graineater: https://lemmygrad.ml/post/6447386/5646506

And with me here:

He is very stubborn beyond belief that makes me question if it is in bad faith.

I have already shared plenty of evidence but you are rudely dismissive.

Once again, this is not a normal oil firm operating in legality for the reasons I have shared before so I can’t produce any data about their oil production.

I will share these 2 other links that mentions more of the logitics behind the robbery of oil. https://www.globaltimes.cn/page/202208/1274216.shtml https://english.news.cn/20221202/cabcfafc67e94dae81bd425ca81bbcf9/c.html

According to reports, the U.S. forces on Thursday sent 54 oil-laden tankers from northeastern Syria to its bases in northern Iraq, the latest shipment of stolen Syrian oil to be delivered.

“I noted relevant reports. Some Syrians are reported to have said that what the U.S. troops did leaves them struggling to survive winter,” spokesperson Zhao Lijian told a daily news briefing.

I agree with you here

How much oil did DCE extract/sell? I don’t mean that as a gotcha, I am genuinely asking.

This is not a simple oil firm that has a website and produces all of this data transparently like any other S&P500 would. For context, this is an oil firm operating in the following conditions:

• It is operating in a territory owned by an armed group funded by the USA
• It is operating in a devastated country riddled with sanctions(Caesar law -> Prohibiting US businesses from investing or operating in Syria)
• From the article that I shared before: DCE is said to be unlike other major oil firms that have long been involved in pumping crude from the Middle East, including neighbouring Iraq. This unknown outfit’s mission is to explore, refine and export oil from a corner of war-torn Syria controlled by a US-backed Kurdish-dominated militia. “It’s too pioneering; too adventuresome . . . some might say too risky,” the former US ambassador to Denmark told the FT, speaking about DCE’s operations.

To go back to your main argument(“Thanks for confirming that US isn’t getting any of oil from Rojava”), evidence show that they are profiting from this situation with Syrian oil. However, we don’t know how much oil they are extracting because the data is muddied due to the legality of the actions done by the firm itself. In other words, this oil firm is actually delivering “something” that they are unable to say openly. Even Radio Free Asia is trying to silence the claim that the US is stealing Syrian oil. That’s how bad things are in Syria.

Thanks for confirming that US isn’t getting any of oil from Rojava.

For this statement to be true, we have to ignore the following from the same article:

“Pioneering” American entrepreneurs have waded into the “murky” oil business in Syria, according to a report by the Financial Times which investigated the US oil firm Delta Crescent Energy (DCE). The company was founded by a member of a former member of the US Delta Force who knew the Kurdish leadership — the Syrian Democratic Forces — through the security company he founded, TigerSwan.

In April last year, the US Treasury granted a rare license allowing DCE to sidestep American sanctions on Syria’s oil sector. Question marks have been raised over how this has happened. The founders of DCE are said to have donated to Republican candidates but they have denied using political influence to secure the license. Speaking about DCE’s work in the Kurdish controlled north-east region, Joel Rayburn, US special envoy to Syria said that US officials endorsed the project “because we support trying to get the economy of north-east Syria up and running.”

Are you implying that the US is doing a charity in that region when you are saying that they aren’t getting any oil? If so, why is there a US oil firm in the Kurdish controlled north-east region which is also known as Rojava, also known as the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (AANES)?

I am not quite following your logic here.

According to calculations by Zhang and his colleagues, the new technology could improve the energy use efficiency of China’s steel industry by more than one-third. As it eliminates the need for coal entirely, it would also enable the steel industry to achieve the coveted goal of “near-zero carbon dioxide emissions”, Zhang’s team added.

This is great news!

Sinochem stopped operations in Syria in 2011, according to its partner Gulfsands Petroleum. Unless multitotal shares with us a source of Sinochem having operations after 2011 until 2024, talking about Sinochem is only a red herring that misleads the attention from the abundant evidence of US continued pillaging of Syrian oil.

Sinochem

Sinochem stopped operations in Syria in 2011, according to its partner Gulfsands Petroleum. Do you have any source that they are continuing operations after 2011?

You know what saddens me about this. Lots of latin american families that travelled for “the american dream” will come back vomiting this fascist propaganda back at home. Scary times

scorched earth policy

Very interesting and yes this explains a lot how Syria went from being fully self sufficient country with grain and oil exports to importing grain and oil.

Their time is coming soon. We gotta trust the resistance and their ability to overcome challenges like this one.

I have no idea

Same here

Not only that but in the near future those same bots will mix the terrorists actions with all of muslim refugees categorizing as dangerous. Basically, a new wave of islamophobia and racism will appear in Europe and the US. Then, this will be used to neuter every single Palestinian solidarity group in all of those countries.

I fucking hate this. I really hope the US, Israel and Europe collapse just as fast as how they did to Syria today. Their day will come and the ghouls will finally pay for their crimes.

Now, we will see how they tear Syria apart with fundamentalist terrorists. The EU and the US won once again while killing and pillaging another country.

Now, the hienas in Europe can finally have blooded nat gas to supply their destroyed economy.

Fuck…

If you check the SMS two letter code, it also uses UA for Ukraine
