    It all has to do with the economics of import/export. Somehow in some stupid way, if American oil fetches a higher price than Syrian oil with shipping factored, US companies will absolutely export our crude while importing foreign crude because it makes sense on a spreadsheet.

      The United States military is stealing 60 trucks worth of oil because it’ll save money? The US produces 13 million barrels of crude a day, but it’s worth their time to steal 60 tanker trucks worth?
