Syrian military did not let through a US convoy of five APCs

[REGNUM] The Syrian military did not let the convoy of the US military in the northeast of the SAR pass. This was reported on July 23 by SANA.

"The military at a checkpoint in the village of Tell-Zahab in Qamishli province drove away a convoy of American armed forces from five armored personnel carriers that tried to enter the village," the report says.

Similar incidents have become more frequent this summer, in some cases the initiative comes from villagers.

The US Armed Forces illegally control territories in the north and northeast of Syria in the provinces of Deir ez-Zor, Al-Hasek and Raqqa, where the largest oil and gas fields in Syria are located. Official Damascus has repeatedly called the presence of the US military on its territory an occupation.

#6  I would appreciate the US Military more if they ever actually did seize something. Whatever happened to kill kill killing the other tribe and taking everything, planting your flag in asses turned skyward and howling? We've all devolved into a buncha lily livered pansies!

#5  The amount of oil involved is pathetic. If we were still extracting and refining our own, it would be less than inconsequential.

#4  That’s in support of the Kurds and to be the anvil against which ISIS crashes. Tiny Jeater6933. But I suspect you’ve no interest in facts when you’ve got your teeth in a juicy propaganda point.

#3  But there's oil there. Obviously the US military is going to steal, I mean seize control of, I mean occupy those oilfields.

Because of we're at war in Syria. Why, again?
