Get some oil to my ally, Syria

BEIRUT - Syria has suffered oil shortages since an Iranian credit line was halted six months ago and not one oil tanker has reached the country since then, a pro-government newspaper said on Wednesday, as a fuel crisis worsened.

Syrians say shortages grew more acute a week ago: hundreds of cars waited in line at one Damascus petrol station on Wednesday, a witness said. State news agency SANA showed a photo of snarled traffic and said Syrians faced an "economic war."

President Bashar al-Assad, speaking in February, said the crisis was part of a siege imposed by governments that oppose him, including the United States, which has imposed sanctions that broadly prohibit any trade with Damascus.

The west has sanctions everywhere, and long time sanctions in Syria.  But Syria just saved our butts from deranged Saudi belt bombers. Where is Russian oil?   Lebanon should break the sanctions and tranship ship oil. Israel should help out, as should Jordan.  Here in California we feel safer with Bashar and the Allrighties. Screw Hillary and that bum Trump.
