The short of it is that USA backed the SDF, a rebel faction. They now control a large area in north-east of Syria, which also includes a significant amount of Syria’s (admittedly meagre) oil reserves. They did actually take a significant amount of that land from ISIS. The USA is there to help their buddies the SDF. Now that ISIS is gone, it’s mostly to protect them from Turkey and Syria. It’s definitely skeevy and I hope Assad can reunify Syria peacefully.It's very weird how you can have American troops just openly chilling on the land of a sovereign nation that doesn't want them there and everyone is like hmmm yes this is normal.
The USA does buy oil from them but claims that most of that is used in the ME anyway. I’m not sure if there’s much oil or not.
