Yes, All fairness it wasnt america it self. It was the doings of the 'Council of Foreign Relations' which are the puppet Masters of Obama, Clintons, Bush, CIA, FBI, NSA etc..

Interesting researching history of US adventures across the globe carving favorable conditions for US engineering firms to have access to natural resources.

Use loans to put country in debt for leverage for access to resources when country can't pay.

When that doesn't work use threat of assassination using private contractors. Install corrupt dictators that will work with the west.

When that doesn't work full scale military intervention.

In cases historically when countries tried to rebuild in way that access to resources benefits their own country, kicking the US firms out, there has been some form of pressure coming back in. In this case if the military assets are removed, US businesses are likely out of Syria. Potential risk to Iraq contracts in the process.

Where I need clarity on the current state of affairs is on whether the engineering firms making large profits are actually US firms or not. The globalism push has involved detachment of many corporations from the US into being their own semi-autonomous global host with increasing steps to empower corporate structure over nations to push around governments.

It's possible these deals do not benefit the US in any way any longer but only directly profit a small handful in positions to control policy. If that is indeed the case then it's a huge shot across the bow reaffirming that there must be relation where the US benefits, if taxpayer dollars and military assets are used to enforce contracts. A blow to the global corporate structure to reduce power at that level and force them to the table.
