WaPo: How do you keep it without troops, how do you defend the oil?
TRUMP: You would… You would, well for that— for that, I would circle it. I would defend those areas.
WaPo: With U.S. troops?
TRUMP: Yeah, I would defend the areas with the oil….
"I would take the oil — and stop this baby stuff," Trump declared. "I’m only interested in Libya if we take the oil. If we don’t take the oil, I’m not interested."
After US troops seize the oil, Trump suggests, American companies would go in and rebuild the oil infrastructure damaged by bombing and then start pumping it on their own. "You’ll get Exxon to come in there … they’ll rebuild that sucker brand new. And I’ll take the oil," Trump said in a December stump speech.
In Trump's America, we don't take that sovereign nation stuff too seriously. USA! USA!
In other news, I recently tried making kimchi for the first time a few weeks ago. It didn't come out half bad! I have one jar left and I'm letting it age a bit more to see how funky it gets.
Trump isn't a leftist, nor is he a pacifist. In fact, Trump is an ardent militarist, who has been proposing actual colonial wars of conquest for years. It's a kind of nationalist hawkishness that we haven't seen much of in the United States since the Cold War — but has supported some of the most aggressive uses of force in American history.
As surprising as it may seem, Clinton is actually the dove in this race.
Used to go down to the news agency or drugstore and ask for empty cigar boxes so I could peel off the paper and make stuff out of the underlying mahogany.
And we should invade North Korea for their kimchi and Russia for their vodka.

Everyone makes kimchi differently. As long as it blows the top of your head off I figure it's just right.
If American Exceptionalism™ means anything, it means American can appropriate anything from anybody, any time.
