You’re still too busy analyzing the motives or agenda of the author instead of evaluating the information. Of-fucking-course the Syrian state TV is going to have an agenda that… Surprise: agrees with state policy. This is not the revelation you think it is.
Guess what? Every source has a bias or agenda. For many it is money related. If you take any source for granted, you’d be a fool. Analyze the information for what it is.
Now, the US is indeed stealing. There have been several videos posted before, and local witnesses arresting to it. This has nothing to do with whatever you think it is framing. This is actually happening.
The US isn’t robbing Syrians at gunpoint
What the hell do you call installing your literal military and building 14 bases (more US bases per square mile of any similarly-sized region in the world), and has initiated multiple attacks on Syria since?
It’s only considered theft because the people eating and using the fuel are ethnically undesirable.
Maybe to you. To me, it is considered theft because the oil fields which were once keeping all Syrians warm, cooking, and supplying them with electric power is now being given to an occupying military while most Syrians are struggling for a drop of heating or cooking oil, many dying of the winter cold.
It’s plausible that this was perpetrated by a foreign entity or even an internal struggle for power, and that the Iranian state knows. It is plausible that the state would still not make this information public. The state and its allies (Syria) has a history of concealing information on this scale, because publicizing this information may make the state look weak, or have the people demanding a military response, which may be unnecessary escalation.
