The EU is buying oil from ISIS??!! NO!! They should lose all credibility once it is proven that they knowingly chose to help the terrorist grow and profit. This is incredible.

They refuse to say who is buying the oil, so this article is worthless.

Brings to mind Lenin’s quote: “ We will hang the capitalists with the rope that they sell us.”

Except that they are buying in this case.

Another reason there should be no US boots on the ground.

I am not condoning this trade, but.

The Euros are in trouble regarding energy. They are refusing Russian gas. Germany has closed down their nuclear energy business in favor of windmills!!!! Other than Norway, Holland, England/Scotland there are few indigenous petroleum deposits. Europe is an energy desert and they have to get it from somewhere.

North America no longer needs to import foreign oil. If Saudi Arabia et al cease production, the price will go up, but we will have enough for ourselves. Europe and China are the ones who should be confronting IS.

Anyone who watches this show has to have a lower IQ than the late Rodney King. We already know most of the cast of The View are well below Rodney on the IQ scale.

And Russia has cut the supply to some EU countries. Besides, ISIS is selling at a discount. I don’t think there is any good reason to support terrorists.

So, ISIS oil is OK, but Kurdish oil is off limits.

Yet we are helping the Kurds fight ISIS. Bizarre.

What EU country is refusing Russian gas?

North America no longer needs to import foreign oil.

Maybe someday but it hasn't arrived yet. We still import more oil and refined product than we export.

At which point, we ought to be buying Kurdish oil - including that tanker that floated in the Mediterranean for months because the Kurds wanted to sell it and the central government of Iraq didn’t.

The fact that they’re not bombing ISIS oil production facilities is a sign that the fight against it is totally suspect.

Who is in charge of the fight against ISIS? I doubt that their oil facilities are as heavily defended as the Ploesti facilities in Romania were. Yet, the USAAF went ahead and bombed them. A cruise missile could do the job today.

Something is drastically wrong. High treason?
