Bummer.
I could have filled up my tank for 35 cents cheaper a few days ago.

U.S., Saudis Look for Iran Link in Weapon Systems
"They say they can’t galvanize world support for their view unless they can draw a clear link back to Tehran, which has denied any role in the attacks."

Watch Tulsi Gabbard Wipe The Floor With A Well-Known War Hawk
“Look Neil, I’m a soldier,” Gabbard began after Cavuto went on the offensive. “And I took an oath as a soldier as well as a member of Congress to support and defend our Constitution of the United States, to serve the American people.”
“And it’s a huge disgrace to hear our commander-in-chief basically put us in a position —the American people, our men and women in uniform, our military assets — in a position where we are servants of the Saudi kingdom. Standing by and awaiting their orders on how we should proceed.”
Indeed Gabbard remains a rare voice: as a veteran seeking to dismantle American Empire and its regime change wars abroad, akin to a "Ron Paul of the Left".
This is why it appears the Democrats are doing everything they can to keep her out of the debates, despite her consistently polling higher than some of those who do make it to the stage.
And if democrats don't do anything different, how are they any better?

A Year Later, Iran Finds Evaporating Sympathy at the U.N. This year could not be more different.
Suddenly, President Hassan Rouhani and his witty, often biting American-educated foreign minister, Mohammad Javad Zarif, are on the defensive. They are denying any Iranian involvement in the destruction of two major Saudi oil facilities, an assertion that even former Secretary of State John Kerry, who negotiated the nuclear accord four years ago and has become its biggest defender, finds far-fetched. Iran, he said, was behind the attack “one way or the other.”

Trump defends Syria decision as GOP leaders push back
The move drew immediate outrage from some of the president's closest allies in Congress, with Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham calling the decision "a disaster." And Syria's Kurds accused the U.S. of turning its back on its allies and risking gains made in the fight against the Islamic State group.

Again Trump betrays our allies to give Turkey and Putin what they want.

What's the alternative? Committing USA troops to fighting Turkish troops? Hey, Turkey is still a NATO member, after all, and is THE largest military in NATO besides the USA.
The Kurds helped us in Syria because they were hoping to bite off a chunk for their own homeland, it's not like they were disinterestedly "helping" fight terrorism. Not only did they (temporarily) gain control of their homeland with USA help) they also gained control of the large chunk of territory east of the Euphrates populated mainly by Sunni Arabs, who resent the hell out of their Kurdish overlords, and which contains the bulk of Syria's oil.
Their bid for an oil-rich breakaway region ran into the hard wall of power-geopolitics.
So, who is on what side, and who has the most power? Israel, the KSA, and the USA wanted to depose Assad (using jihadist and Kurdish proxies) or - failing that- to remove oil resources from Syrian control. The Kurds wanted their bite of Syria. Turkey initially joined the effort with the idea that they could begin the process of re-creating the Ottoman Empire by annexing part of Syria too. That clumsy unsuccessful coup and assassination attempt on Erdogan sure turned HIS calculations around!
Syrian, Russia, Iran and (sometimes) Turkey are on the other side. They have had the most military success in keeping Syria together and fighting ISIS and al Qaeda and Kurdish proxies at the same time. What does the USA think it should do: fight all of them all at once?
That's just plain suicide.
And besides, what are we fighting FOR? I understand that we want to keep Saudi Arabia safe ... that's part of our petrodollar agreement with them, and we do depend mightily on the petrodollar! But what does Syria have to do with that? Syria is not a threat to the KSA. Neither is Yemen. In fact, Iran isn't either. What's the point of all of this fighting?

What does this have to do wth Syria?
You're geographically confused, THUGR. No wonder you're so disoriented!
here's a hint: Syria is not Saudi Arabia, and Ukraine is not Russia.
