And put boots on the ground. Do you agree with this strategy?

Yes. Maybe he would have the guts to launch some nukes there too

Link to story?
ISIS probably makes money selling poppy. Agent Orange is what I'd drop. |

No. It's like trying to kill ants after they have found their way to your picnic.
If you want to stop ISIS, then stop them at the source. During worship service, put a GBU-24 in the middle of every Mosque which is sending their sons and money to fill ISIS ranks and bank accounts. |

Do you agree with this strategy? http://www.businessinsider.com/r-trumps-plan-for-islamic-state-put-a-ring-around-it-2015-8 View Quote Trump wants to take the oil from ISIS and keep it. What claim does the US have on that oil? For instance, the prosperous Baiji field north of Tikrit in Iraq, who did those fields belong to before ISIS captured them? The Iraqi govt, who aren't going to be cool with us taking it. Good luck pumping oil and shipping it out in a hostile country. If the US went back into Iraq and actually stole their oil it would be an absolute disaster. We don't even need their oil, just pressure Saudi Arabia to stop fucking around with production and restart US oil. Besides that, we're helping the Iraqis retake the oil fields. Google the killing of the ISIS finance minster Abu Sayyaf and the gold mine of Intel we got from it. Trump a joke. He should have stuck to reality TV. |

If anybody knows military strategy, it's Trump the defereminator.
Dude knows his shit. He fights wars with class. Pure class. |

They sell a lot of oil but from what I hear they do not know how to run the refineries anywhere near their capacity. ISIS isn't really operating then, they are in control and are contacting out to "friendly" oil local companies to do the grunt work while they collect the big percentages. But ISIS leadership are violent religious fanatics, not businessmen and the conduct has fucked up the market so they weren't getting full value. But Baiji fields are no longer controlled by ISIS, nor by ISF, they ate in contested status, the whole town is a battle zone, so no one is pumping anything or making money. |

Maybe we can quit sending them armor and fighter jets.
That's where I would start. |

Out of all the things you could do with airpower, cutting off oil should be a pretty dang easy one. Yes, you will destroy some assets. But you don't have to take out much compressor station to turn off the oil machine. Tons of the pipeline in the ME is above ground, or "buried" where its visible in berms above grade. |

The Middle East seems to be gearing up to deal with ISIS themselves.
Who they focus on after that clusterfuck of tribalism and sect murder is anyone's guess. |

View Quote The biggest oil money maker ISIS had was Baiji, which they don't control anymore. So it's a moot point. On top of that, it isn't ours to disable or destroy. They are nationalized ptperty of Syrian and Iraqi govts, both of which have air assets capable of taking them out. We don't have the political authority to do it without their blessing, they could just do it themselves and choose not to. This isn't our war, we'll help but the locals have to run point. |

We did not and I think they had to draw this out much more than they wanted too. When they started flooding the market they started hiring US tool pushers and consultants. They are deathly afraid we will become independent of their oil. It's hurting China a little bit but they need the oil very badly. They are buying up Iranian oil right now. Not sure if they can take delivery of it before the sanctions are lifted. |

What he's ordering was blessed of by the White House and probably has more to do with bankrupting Russia to stop future military expansion into E. Europe as it is shutting down shale and sand oil in the Americas. |
