Trump on ISIS: 'I would knock the hell out of them,' and then 'I'd take the oil for our country'
Business Insider/Reuters ^ | 08/10/2015 | Susan Heavey

Posted on 08/10/2015 1:48:25 PM PDT by nhwingut

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said on Monday he supported the use of US ground troops to fight Islamic State militants in the Middle East.

Speaking on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" program, the billionaire businessman said it would take American soldiers to target the militant group, also known as ISIS or ISIL.

"They have great money because they have oil," Trump said. "Every place where they have oil I would knock the hell out of them.

"I would knock out the source of their wealth, the primary sources of their wealth, which is oil," he told MSNBC. "And in order to do that, you would have to put boots on the ground. I would knock the hell out of them, but I'd put a ring around it and I'd take the oil for our country."

Obama is a Marxist, socialist and proto-communist...

Trump is a proto-Fasicist.. proposing Fascism if he gets elected so.. what would change?..

NOTHING!...

Like Obama said the opposite of what he actual did and is doing after the election... Trump will as well..

WHY?.. How can I say that?...
Because Socialism and Fascism is EXACTLY ALIKE.. the same..
two sides of a coin.. mirror image.. TWINS...

ONLY the naive and gullible.. is fooled.. Oh!.. and the UNINFORMED..

The hell does fascism have to do with killing ISIS and taking their oil fields? Is the act of “taking oil” fascist? I guess every nation in the world for thousands of years is “fascist” for taking stuff after military victories.

Where has Trump ever supported such a thing?


He hasn’t.. He’s not elected to anything YET!...
Once elected don’t be fooled he has learned from Obama..
Say anything you want.. then do whatever you want after the election..

Trump is handling.. ugh... manipulating conservatives presently..
He MUST WHISPER IN THEIR EARS... it works..

Especially IF conservatives have been Dumbed Down by public school for 50 years..
Where civics and american history has not been schooled correctly for many decades.. and World History..

This thread is an example.. as free republic is..
Even here.. most have no idea what Fasism is...

Business and givernment merged in America long ago..
Otherwise Boehner and McConnell would be Soooo GONE...
never to be elected again...

TRUMP KNOWS THAT.. he knows what Fascism is..
It’s just YOU DON’T.. not really.. OR you would be agreeing with me..

It’s so DAMNED OBVIOUS... He’s proposing Fascism right to your face.. and you’re in DENIAL..

So you know what Trump is thinking, even though he’s never said such a thing, and anyone who doesn’t take your word for it is ignorant and in denial. Got it.

Good looking plane.

I can just imagine what it looks like on the inside. The best of everything, I’m sure.

"You sound like the lefties who say Palin is an idiot. No basis in fact..."

Palin is extremely bright. Do you think Trump is as smart as Sarah? Honestly?
I have yet to hear Trump explain his positions in substantive concrete terms - it's all general talking points.

Third go in and take the oil to pay for it, In other words, if we are forced to spend lives and treasure to stop ISIS, we are going to get something back. Works for me.

In other words, invade the area. Again. At the cost of how many hundreds or thousands of lives. Again. Then spend years occupying the area. Again. I guess we didn't learn anything from the last time.

"...explain what is wrong with the strategy of denying ISIS revenue from oil?"

There are better ways than to send troops back in - Obozo pretty-much killed that venue.
Interdiction on the exchanges - ships at sea, terminals, banks, etc.

Trump seems a good deal more realistic about our goals there. He isn’t talking about nation building and democracy. He’s talking about killing our enemies and seizing oil fields. He’s already said there is no more Iraqi government, they are just Iranian puppets, and he wouldn’t give them another dime.
