Defense Department publishes space intelligence images of US oil smuggling from Syria
“…Under the protection of American military personnel and employees of American PMCs, fuel trucks from the oil fields of Eastern Syria are being smuggled to other states. In the event of any attack on such a caravan, special operations forces and US military aviation are immediately attracted to protect it.” – (c)Igor Konashenkov
“Oil export is handled by the US-controlled company Sadcab, created under the so-called Autonomous Administration of Eastern Syria, and the proceeds of smuggling go to the number accounts of US PMCs and special services.
Major General added that now a barrel of smuggled Syrian oil is estimated at $ 38, so that the monthly revenue of US public services exceeds $ 30 million.”
“For such a continuous financial flow, freed from control and taxes of the American state, the Pentagon and Langley leadership will be ready to guard and defend oil wells in Syria from the mythical “hidden cells of the Islamic State” endlessly.”
