Obama put them there to protect people.
He wasn't protecting the oil, he was keeping it from the enemies hands that was using to fund their war. It is called strategy. We did not need oil from Syria at that time just like we do not need it now due to our own domestic production.
If Obama would not have pulled the troops out of Iraq too soon when he did(which allowed ISIS to expand) then he would not have had to send them to Syria to protect them. All those innocent people killed all because he wanted to fulfill a campaign promise even though everyone said it was not the best thing to do.
Another of your delusions?
"Keeping the oil out of enemies?" Who are they tell me?
Syria and Putin are friends to each other. And withdrawal of our troops made possible Russians getting and occupying our former bases and defensive lines? Unless you are saying now Syria and Putin are our friend too (or Trump's friend, which is more accurate).
If Syria or Russia are the enemies, why the heck we gave them these territories, bases and defensive lines?
It also weakened Kurds and made possible their slaughter. Do you know that Kurds are our friends and they were the only ones who pushed back ISIS?
Even your geo-political views sucks.
