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?

Yes
You don’t think it’s a bit silly to suggest that 60 tanker trucks is going to be worth time? What’s that even worth, have you checked?

Do you believe that this one eyewitness report represents the entirety of what the US has done in Syria over the past decade?
The stated goal is harming people of Syria https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MFsFOS5Odno&t=903s
