Discussion: Trump Lays Out His Master Plan To 'Take The Oil' From Iraq

Shorter Headline: Trump is Fucking Insane.

I mean, seriously…you’re talking about going back and looting a sovereign nation, which would have to be done at this point under the auspices of aggressive war.

Can we get Donald sent to The Hague now, as a pre-emptive measure?

“If we had taken the oil, you wouldn’t have ISIS. ISIS formed with the power and wealth of that oil,” Trump claimed
…
The President of the United States should not be promoting stealing. It’s not just that stealing is an illegal act it sends a horrible lesson to our young folk.

ISIS would have come along oil or no oil. ISIS existed before they had any oil. Oil did not create ISIS. Rather ISIS stole iraqi oil just like trump wants to steal Iraqi oil. For some reason trump thinks all oil belongs to America.

Crazy Don would have been great on the high seas as a maurading pirate: his orange visage would have made for a fine pirate name. As a commander in chief in 21st century America, however, he’d just be an embarrassment.

I can’t even imagine him being a good pirate.

He suggested that people didn’t know that Iraq had a large oil reserve, and that the U.S. “got nothing” after losing thousands of lives and trillions of dollars.

Very nice. Affirming his belief that as victors America has the right to just rape the s*&t out of countries like Japan and Germany.

Because that’s what winning means to him.

What a mindless shallow dipstick he truly is.

Although, he’s got the raping and pillaging down.

I’m sure bone spurs of the foot (which foot was it again?) would make pirating difficult.

I was thinking only in so far as he thinks taking countries natural resources is why we fight wars now. How 18th century of him!

Leave an occupying force and take the #1 natural resource from Iraq because we were the victors in a war we started under false pretenses, thus rendering a country even more economically and politically unstable and making friends and impressing people throughout the Middle East. Simple, easy, so obvious.

trumpf answered by dancing around the questions and by answering in such broad terms that we’re left not knowing any more than we knew when this half assed “forum” began. I can’t imagine a current or former service member was satisfied at all with what they heard. Clinton was just getting started, and trumpet was waiting for it to end.

“It used to be, ‘To the victor belong the spoils.’ Now, there was no victor there, believe me, there was no victor. But I always said, take the oil,” Trump said. "One of the benefits we would have had, if we took the oil, ISIS would not have been able to take oil and use that oil to fuel themselves."


“In the old days, you know when you had a war, to the victor belong the spoils,” he told George Stephanopoulos in 2011. “You go in. You win the war and you take it. . . . You’re not stealing anything. . . . We’re taking back $1.5 trillion to reimburse ourselves.”

from '15. this link will lead to a National Review retrosumthing…

That was Cheney’s plan. It resulted in Iraq selling the oil to China. With Trump’s luck, they will sell the oil to North Korea.
