Faux libertarians like Johnson are a far cry worse than a Trump though. Vote Johnson for rapefugee.

Changing the rules of engagement and laws of war is exactly what Trump proposed in the video (and elsewhere). You currently can't seize oil fields under the Geneva Convention.

A trillion dollars in oil is something.

Oil smuggling is the big source of revenue for ISIS. The US has refrained from targeting oil facilities since many civilians in the area rely on ISIS oil. Russia and France (and maybe US now?) have begun targeting oil facilities/transports in the last half year in order to cut off that revenue. Entirely seizing the oil fields would have a greater impact on ISIS's revenue.

Its effectiveness depends on how many troops are required. Elsewhere, I recall Trump saying he'd seize the oil with a few troops. If intelligence indicates that's possible, seizing may be an effective tactic.

In the end i don't even care about democrats or republicans. Even tho i feel closer to democrats (i feel closer to sanders actually, he's the closest to european style left), the republican views about taxation, economy, small government etc.. i get it. I may not agree with it, but i see their point, the economic theory makes sense as a whole (friedman etc).

But yeah, i reject the whole science denying, LGBTQ hating, bible humping, foreigners scape-goating, anti-abortion, anti-contraception, conspiracy theorists etc etc.. the day americans will stop giving a voice to those, you'll be better than you have ever been.

Sorry pal but hate and conspiracies are pure Americana. Hell we got so paranoid about the Masons after the founding of the country they banned them and had a whole anti-masonic political party and movement for a while. The biggest problem is we always do a half assed job of removing our enemies. McCarthy wasnt allowed to go far enough in my opinion. We could have nixed that whole subversive commie 60s shit right then and there.

All you trump supporters are nuts for trusting this guy. Lack of government experience, , and a career of taking advantage of other citizens.

I addressed this the other day Trunge. It has nothing to do with trust:

I look at it more like this,

Trump says he's selling bologna sandwiches. He hasn't sold any sandwiches before, but in the past has expressed a particular fondness for vegemite sandwiches. Sone people suspect he doesn't really plan to offer any bologna sandwiches if elected and will instead offer the same faux-vegemite sandwiches shilled by his 'opponent'.

Hillary markets her Vegemite sandwiches as Nutella sandwiches. Everyone knows their not Nutella and they smell like shit for some reason.

Game theory urges me to take my chances with the bologna sandwich. It may be great. It may even have a tomato. If it is not, or if it turns out Trump does end up only offering vegemite or even faux vegemite sandwiches, then I am no worse off than I would have been going with Hillary's shit sandwich. And, there is a chance that in the process, Trump's foray into sandwichdom may make some waves and lead to better sandwiches in the future. With Hillary, we can be assured that accepting her offering only strengthens the resolve of shit-sandwich manufacturers and we can expect more indefinitely.

Trump doesn't believe sandwich mold exists even though it's a consensus among the entire scientific and academic community that it, in fact, does. Trump is willing to accept scientific consensus for other important things like how to manage cholesterol, treat cancer, or run a business/economy. But in the case of sandwich mold, an entire party has special interests pulling the strings and he bends over to comply. He proposes that we don't bother putting sandwiches in the fridge because sandwich mold isn't real and if we put our sandwiches in the fridge we won't be able to compete with China, which doesn't have fridges.
