Archived Message Posted by David Macilwain on July 29, 2019, 12:32 pm, in reply to "Re: Well planned to provoke a crisis" and then the US-SDF forces bought the franchise, and are now protecting their trade by preventing Syria from accessing its own resources. There still seems to be some doubt about the sanctions applicable to Syrian oil IMPORTS, with a failure by the EU to mention the question now or in their 2011 sanctions document. That that document hasn't been updated, modified or scrapped in the face of many changes in the situation in Syria is astonishing. Britain waves the rules!
