Well, Trump has already said that he will bomb the s#%t out of ISIS

Quote:
"ISIS is making a tremendous amount of money because they have certain oil camps, certain areas of oil that they took away," Trump said.
He continued: "They have some in Syria, some in Iraq. I would bomb the s--- out of 'em. I would just bomb those suckers. That's right. I'd blow up the pipes. ... I'd blow up every single inch. There would be nothing left. And you know what, you'll get Exxon to come in there and in two months, you ever see these guys, how good they are, the great oil companies? They’ll rebuild that sucker, brand new — it'll be beautiful."

Donald Trump would 'bomb the **** out of ISIS' - Business Insider
Quote:
"I would knock out the source of their wealth, the primary source of their wealth, which is oil," he told MSNBC. "I would knock the hell out of them, but I'd put a ring around it and I'd take the oil for our country."

I haven't looked yet, but what was his response to what happened at the Christmas market in Germany?


The partisan news sites are saying he heard about these things and went to play golf. Tell me he personally made some statement, offered condolences, something as SITTING PRESIDENT.


Personally, I'd rather have someone show some emotion and be PISSED OFF and DO SOMETHING when this kind of stuff happens than to casually blame "security" (or LEO's, or the "Lone Wolf") and then go about their business. It makes us look weak.

Sort of like our negotiations to get our drone back: Quiet, professional and didn't cause an escalation.


And then, after it was all over, the Donald sends out an ignorant tweet (because he hadn't gone to briefing ) and says, "Go ahead and keep our drone". That was an awesome display of machismo. His first global showdown and he melted like a cheap candle.

Because, of course, ISIS is such an upstanding pillar of the world community. I assume you'd have loved Vlad Țepeș as well.

Are those the same negotiations that the Chinese "regret" because the US hyped?


US says China will return underwater drone; Trump slams Beijing over incident - CNNPolitics.com


But again, what condolences or words of any kind did our current CIC offer to the family of the Russian ambassador or the families of those killed in Germany?

No, ofcourse not, but I am not so naive as to think Trump can magically end Isis immediately like he claims he will. People on here were complaining about the bombing in other countries because of our war on terror....I am just saying, it's not going to bet any better. (And after bombing the countries to get rid of the terrorists he says he wants to steal the countries oil - I don't care what happens to the terrorists but
the various countries that they flee to....and all of the ramifications....and then he wants to steal their oil to boot...after dropping bombs on them???)

And our relations with China looks to suffer greatly also, and I wouldn't be surprised to see it end in violence or war.
