Rather than helping Syria escape from its natural nd man-made problems, the U.S. strangled the economy with sanctions, that "prohibits the exportation or sale of services to Syria by U.S. persons, prohibits the importation of petroleum or petroleum products of Syrian origin, and prohibits U.S. persons from involvement in transactions involving Syrian petroleum or petroleum products. " During the war, U.S. forces seized the oil fields that a defeated ISIS had already taken from the Syrian government and continued to deprive the economy of the much needed resource. The actions, which continue, lengthened the time to halt the war, exacerbated the problems faced by the people, and increased the displacement of "freezing" populations.
Superb. Thank you mr. Lieberman for the insight into Syria which is extremely complicated.
Omitted an important narrative.
