US Troops, Mechanized Forces to Remain in Syria to Guard Oil Wells: Esper oh mechanized really
now the CNN has this rumor (
), and I seldom post rumors:
"Privately, however, military officials say there is nothing in place to address the possibility that Syrian or Russian tanks or aircraft might approach the oil fields. The plan for now, officials say, is to declare the US presence and warn other players not to get close.
Officials said it's now expected that the "mechanized" reinforcements Esper described will mainly be armored vehicles, such as Bradley Fighting Vehicles or Paladin howitzers. The officials said there is an armored brigade in Kuwait that could be used to provide the equipment and troops needed to protect the oil fields."
would the Pentagon do it, or was it whistling-past-the-graveyard type of talking?
