US Attacks Syrian Army Outpost As US Firm Moves To Steal Syrian Oil

Obama’s "Assad must go" Syria policy lives on, even three plus years into the Trump Administration. Yesterday, US troops illegally occupying Syrian territory shot at a Syrian army checkpoint and a US helicopter followed up by destroying the outpost. At least one Syrian soldier was killed in the incident. Earlier this month a politically-connected US firm signed a contract with the US government to "modernize" US-controlled oilfields in Syria – to "starve Assad." Also today: insanity in Australia and New Zealand and mouth fungus outbreak in the US.
