On Monday, Trump suggested oil seized from Venezuela could be treated as a US asset. "Maybe we will sell it, maybe we will keep it," he told reporters. "Maybe we'll use it in the strategic reserves. We're keeping the ships also."
The remarks echo earlier statements from Trump where he has repeatedly called for the US to seize oil from other countries, indicating a broader belief that US power entitles it to control or extract resources from other states.

Trumpolini's Oil Policy: It's not STEALING, we're just asking them to pay what it costs to go to WAR to take the oil! LOL.
Not to dwell on a point, but think just ONE step further on this. If it's OK for the FSoA to do this, it's OK for the Chinese to do it also. Do you think the ChiComs will just sit by while we cruise the Marines to countries with small militaries and park a few special forces around their oil fields to take the oil? COME ON!
If I was the Canucks, the MINUTE Trumpolini offloads a brigade on a Vz beach I would announce signing a Oil Trade Protection Treaty with Beijing where they promise to assist any nation threatened by Imperialist Oil Theft by the OUTLAW Goobermint of the FSoA. If the UN doesn't condemn this that organization is done for.
Of course this sort of theft was exactly what Smedley Butler described, but no Amerikan Potus ever explicitly said it was FSoA Oil Policy. If he follows thru with it, the Chinese and Russians will have no choice but to put a stop to it.
WWIII is 1 Stupid Move away.
