David Brennan - TRUMP PLAN TO DEPLOY MILITARY TO PROTECT SYRIAN OIL FIELDS IS AKIN TO PIRACY, RETIRED GENERAL SAYS

A retired U.S. general has warned that President Donald Trump's foreign policy in Syria is drifting dangerously close to piracy, following confirmation that American soldiers will be deployed to secure valuable oil fields in the east of the country and protect them from the Islamic State group.
Retired General Barry McCaffrey condemned the plans on Sunday, following Trump's suggestion he wants to bring in Exxon Mobil or another U.S. oil company "to go in there and do it properly...and spread out the wealth" from the oil fields.

  2. That's one good thing about Trump, that he often says the quiet part out loud.
    Rips the pretty mask off of American empire to show it directly.
