The Ron Paul Institute for Peace and Prosperity : With Assad Victorious, US Oil Sanctions Now Strangle Entire Syrian Population
Syrians
thought that after beating ISIS and al-Qaeda and getting their country
back from crazed jihadists they could begin getting back to normal, but
there is one formidable force they did
not count on: crippling new US sanctions that have thrown the country's
recovery into a tailspin. Ironically the new stranglehold over Syrian
oil imports was put in place precisely because the Syrians did clear out
US-backed jihadists in Eastern Ghouta and elsewhere. Those savages were
US allies and Washington didn't want to cut off oil while they were
still operating in country. With jihadists defeated, the US war shifts
back to "regime change."
