"To be honest with you, my favourite thing is to take the oil in Iran"

Trump says he wants to ‘take the oil in Iran’
US President Donald Trump has told The Financial Times newspaper that he wants to “take the oil” in Iran and said Washington could capture the Iranian export hub on Kharg Island.

Trump compared the potential move with the US approach in Venezuela, where he noted Washington’s intention to control the oil industry “indefinitely” following the abduction of President Nicolas Maduro in January.

“To be honest with you, my favourite thing is to take the oil in Iran, but some stupid people back in the US say, ‘Why are you doing that?’ But they’re stupid people,” he said.

“Maybe we take Kharg Island, maybe we don’t. We have a lot of options,” Trump told the FT. “It would also mean we had to be there [in Kharg Island] for a while.”

When asked about the state of Iranian defence on Kharg Island, he said: “I don’t think they have any defence. We could take it very easily.”

@mod

It's high time we took their oil to weakened them.

Trump happens to be 100% right in this case.

**Consider, oil belongs to the earth. Just because some Persians (Iranians) overpowered the people there and took the land does NOT make it their oil. Same way Greenland does not automatically belong to Denmark. Same way, if the Brits had chased out Nigerians and settled in Nigeria doesn't mean Nigerian oil belongs to.them in perpetuity. It belongs to them till someone can likewise take it from them!

This particular oil may choke Trump.

What is stealing with pride in that poll question? Thief na thief there's no way to showmax it.

Robinhood. Na thief.

But he invested it here not abroad. Na thief.

He took it since no one was there to ask. Na thief.

He helped their community and gave them education. Na thief.


thief
/θiːf/
noun
a person who steals another person's property, especially by stealth and without using force or threat of violence.

A thief thinks everyone steals.

America doesn't join fight that does not involve oil 🛢️.
Any country without oil is not worth America's attention.

America is just a thieving country, using terrorism to steal other people's resources.

To take another country's right because you are a more powerful nation. And your conscience tells you that it is 100% right? You can actually be a Trump supporter and still think for yourself.

Here's Trump below in 1980 when he was 34 years old giving the reasons why.
