Via Syria, Biden offers Russia another gift

Apparently determined to win Russian President Vladimir Putin's favor by any means necessary, President Joe Biden is sacrificing yet another American interest to Putin.

The Biden administration is revoking the permit for a United States oil company, Delta Crescent Energy, that has been operating in northeastern Syria, as reported by Al-Monitor.

In contrast, Biden's removal of the waiver is yet another gift to Putin.

The last few weeks have seen Biden turn himself into the Russian president's delivery man.

Even as more evidence is gathered on highly aggressive Russian attacks against U.S. government personnel, we've seen Biden kowtow to Putin.

Biden is refusing to enforce congressionally mandated sanctions targeting Putin's Nord Stream II energy pipeline, he is appeasing Russia over the Colonial Pipeline cyber-extortion plot, and he has begged Putin for a June 16 summit in Geneva.

As now, local Kurdish and Arab authorities will no longer be able to look to the U.S. as a partner, they will face great pressure to defer to Russia instead. Unsurprisingly, America's dislocation from eastern Syria has long been a top Russian priority.
