And of course, many folks in such positions, whether International or domestic, cheat, and violate the 'rules of engagement.'
But it's the other guy's cheating that counts most. ;^>)
America's interest in Syria is oil. We don't REALLY give a shit about who kills who or what they use to do it with, we just want an excuse to continue the ongoing war crime of our 'humanitarian mission'.
American foreign policy is based on the petro-dollar and what our allies (Saudi, Qatar, Israel, Turkey, ect) want. We don't give a shit about freedom or humanitarianism. If we did, we wouldn't be allied with the Saudis, or support 70% of the world's dictatorships.
it's quite simple

Russia's sole allies in the region are Iran & Syria. Russia makes most of it's money selling oil to Europe. Assad was winning the war. Making any sense yet?
Source on giving Iran $4 billion dollars?
It's about oil!
No it's about natural gas!
lol.
Is that why we gave Iran 4 billion dollars in cash on crates?
you gave Iran nothing, you returned stolen property. Iran paid huge sums of money for military gear and the US changed it's mind and kept the money ever since the Iranian revolution. so "you" gave nothing to Iran, you paid them back their money as part of a deal for them to freeze nuclear weapons development.
No, we gave them 1.7 billion in us cash........
the remaining amount was with sanctions........
Did you not even read the links? You not familiar with the Iran Nuclear deal? This is just crazy, I would have thought everybody would have known about this...... Our hard earned tax dollars given to a terrorist nation. I guess I was the only one......
Dont forget one fact about the Iran Nuclear deal..... They sent cash....... Because it was illegal to use the banking system with Iran, because they are a terrorist nation....... The sanction money was allowed through the banks, because that is how it was taken. The cash however, was a nice tip from US tax payers.
The Congressional Research Service, the nonpartisan analytic arm of Congress, reviewed this cash transfer in a 2018 report. It gave a total of $1.7 billion.
That was the amount that U.S. and Iranian negotiators settled on to resolve an arms contract between the United States and Iran that predated the Iranian revolution in 1979. Iran had paid for military equipment, and it was never delivered.
As of 1990, there were $400 million in that account. Negotiators agreed that accrued interest would add $1.3 billion to the amount, which is a lot of money — but 25 years is a long time for interest to build up the balance.
The United States sent the money to Iran in euros, Swiss francs and other currencies. Trump embellished when he mentioned barrels and boxes. Reports at the time said the money was packed and loaded onto pallets, similar to how other bulk goods are shipped.
