We're going to invade the Saudi's.

Trump, on his first day as president, wonders if he should send the US military to loot Iraq and steal its oil.

(8,999 posts)He knows nothing about international relations. Nothing.
No reading for him. No bank of knowledge, so little intelligence and no wisdom.
A delusional maniac.
No person should ever agree to serve in any war this fool starts. Nobody.

(28,271 posts)The CEO of Exxon-Mobil will explain to you that you don't just storm-troop into a nation and "take" its oil, like a plundering pirate. It's all done with complex production-sharing contracts, with the country subject to exploration activity getting a healthy portion of the production revenues. That's how it's been done for decades.
But if you want to start another war with Iraq, be my guest. Anything to make your reign shorter.
