@yogthos What I am saying is that the US does not control the oil facilities in Syria, not directly at least. It is either the Kurds, the Syrian rebel groups+ISIS and Turkey (basically whoever is controlling the land the said oil infrastructure lies on) - and they are using these facilities for their own benefit.
You also need to take in mind the complexity of the Syrian conflict. There’s not only US that has an interest in there, but also Turkey, Israel, Iran, Russia, there are various factions fighting there etc. Many of the parties (e.g. Turkey and US) even have aspects where they do not agree in regard to the conflict - for example, US is more supportive of the Kurdish forces, while Turkey does quite the opposite.
Then there is ISIS, who is also having a large chunk of that production and who uses the oil money to finance their terrorist activities. Do you want US to pull back and let the fields go under extremist Islamist control? Have them finance terrorist attacks in Europe or wherever around the globe? The US certainly doesn’t.
The EU is also depending on Turkey to restrict the flow of migrants from the area. So I do not get the part of demanding the withdrawal of “US Army stealing the Syrian oil” and I do not see what you think this will achieve, but until you will see some stability and have the conflict winding down, nothing in EU’s position will change. Hope this makes it clearer 😀
There is a literal US base in Syria occupying Syrian food and oil producing regions. These aren’t just US proxies, US has boots on the ground. US is shipping Syrian oil back to US. This isn’t done for the benefit of Kurds as you’re insinuating.
Now that US lost it’s proxy war in Syria, the conflict is being resolved with the leaders of Syria, Turkey, and Iran meeting to put an end of hostilities.
The extremists you talk about are a direct product of US policy, and would not exist once US pulls out. So, yes, obviously any sane and rational individual would want US to pull out from occupying and pillaging Syria.
If EU didn’t want migrants coming from the area then EU shouldn’t have been participating in the atrocities in the Middle East along with their imperial masters. Hope this makes it clearer 😀
US has already lost the war in Syria. The only reason it was still festering was because Turkey was continuing to have a dispute with Syria. This dispute is being resolved as we speak. US has no serious allies left in the region aside from Israel. Iran, Iraq, Syria, Trukey, and SA are all aligning against the US right now.
Are you seriously suggesting that US isn’t currently occupying Syria?

Meanwhile, the conflict has been planned and shaped by the US from the very start https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2008/07/07/preparing-the-battlefield

@yogthos I see. How do you think the whole Syrian Civil War will end? Will the US win it or not?
