"Secured the oil"? What?



Donald J. Trump ✔ @realDonaldTrump
· 43m
Just spoke to President @RTErdogan of Turkey. He told me there was minor sniper and mortar fire that was quickly eliminated. He very much wants the ceasefire, or pause, to work. Likewise, the Kurds want it, and the ultimate solution, to happen. Too bad there wasn’t.....


Donald J. Trump ✔ @realDonaldTrump

.....this thinking years ago. Instead, it was always held together with very weak bandaids, & in an artificial manner. There is good will on both sides & a really good chance for success. The U.S. has secured the Oil, & the ISIS Fighters are double secured by Kurds & Turkey....

And, a few weeks from now, Trump and his hellish minions will taunt the horrified American people with the fact that they totally telegraphed the genocide and ethnic cleansing, and it's your own fault for being so triggered by it, you liberal snowflakes. Pwned!

only useful or relevant because of what one can physically take away from them is so strange that even MAGAts have to be scratching their heads...

My guess is that he is talking about oil and gas pipelines that run through Syria coming from Iran and Iraq.
Russia makes big money from those pipelines and installations.

Guess where those pipelines end up, that's right Ukraine on their way to Europe.

Putin gets a Warm Water Port and Base for his Mercenary Army. In exchange he supplies this army to help Assad and Erdogon genocide the Turks.

And Mean While,the unproven Oil Reserves in Northern Syria become a Turkish/Putin Money Pot to finance their influence and probable Control of that region.

And the Trump Crime Syndicate scores canceled Mortgages on all their Russian Oligarch financed properties.

18. The Kurds in Iraq have a lot of oil...

and it's not far from where Erdogan intends to expand his reach. And then there's the pootin plan for a pipeline running from the Caspian Sea to the Mediterranean. So that's looking like an acquisition the thugs wanted. The Kurds will be sacrificed for the oil.

14. Fantasyland! He is completely out if touch with reality.

Trapped. Totally trapped in a prison of his own making.

He cannot face reality or he'd have to admit he was wrong and that would destroy his fragile fake persona.
