Trump Syria policy in his own words is blood for oil

No … what you (and some others) are choosing to interpret what he said to mean would be a war crime.

He explicitly said he wants to take the oil over and over. Would you like the quotes? There’s no wiggle room here. He said it.

Do we have that oil or not? E-85 is hovering at 2 bucks a gallon, give or take a dime. I’d never complain about gas again at $1.50 per gallon.

You explicitly took him literally. Trump is almost never literal. As someone else said earlier, when he has tankers loaded up with Syrian oil and sent to America, we can discuss war crimes.

Most people would like to do a lot of things they can’t because those things are illegal.

Oh so he did say it but it doesn’t count because reasons question mark.

Didn’t say he wanted to. Said he did or he would. How many quotes you want.

Would be great if words didn’t matter to all those in the Mideast who maintained the US was out to get the oil despite previous admins saying otherwise.

So he didn’t call for us to take the oil and it’s not war crime?

Or is he just figuratively calling for war crimes

Or are we supposed to take him seriously about calling for war crimes…just not litteraly…

Most people are not the president of the United States calling for war crimes…

It doesn’t matter what he said. The only thing that matters is what he does.

It doesn’t matter one iota what he said or didn’t say. There was and is no intent nor action to take Syrian oil. Period.

You don’t know t hat there was no intent on his part and he got blocked …

Of course I know it, and so do you. The intent of the troops redeploying from the northern border area to the oil fields was made perfectly clear at the time they deployed there. To protect the fields from ISIS sabotage. Which is exactly what Trump was talking about when he so inarticulately said “we took the oil.”

Nope you don’t. He didn’t say we “took” he said

But we’re keeping the oil — remember that. I’ve always said that: “Keep the oil.” We want to keep the oil. Forty-five million dollars a month? Keep the oil.

Who cares? It doesn’t matter what words he used, we are not keeping the oil and never intended to do so.

You guys are like a broken record.

Then you should certainly be able to show that we are actually keeping and selling the oil and illegally using the profits from those sales.

Links?

No we are saying he is “Calling” for war crimes

Is it a war crime?
Is trump advocating to keep the oil

Yes or no?

Knowing Trump I doubt he’s thought it through and if he has, he’s just trolling people like yourself for the fun of it.
