Trump again accidentally confirmed the real intentions behind the US military occupation of northeast Syria:

"We want to keep the oil, and we'll work something out with the Kurds...Maybe we'll have one of our big oil companies to go in and do it properly"

Through his own arrogance and stupidity, Trump is admitting what we have been saying: The US strategy was to militarily occupy the NE region with 90% of Syria's oil and 70% of its wheat, to block the Syrian gov't access, weaken it, and starve it of revenue
The US government is now making it clear that it is leaving troops to illegally occupy Syria's oil-rich territory, using the excuse of "protecting it from ISIS," when it is actually preventing the Syrian government from accessing its own oil

Read this closely: US officials are admitting they killed large numbers of Russians and Syrians in order to continue their illegal military occupation of Syrian oil reserves, which Syria's government needs to fund reconstruction for its citizens
