So here we are, forced into a position where we have to have a serious conversation about Donald Trump’s foreign policy positions. Build a great, great wall, make Mexico pay for it, take all the oil in the Middle-East, etc., etc. Cenk Uygur, host of The Young Turks, breaks it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.

“Trump doesn’t really like talking about policy, and he doesn’t have what you might call a clear policy agenda. But there is one quote that really gets to the core of his foreign policy worldview and what a Trump administration foreign policy would look like. Here it is, from a 2011 TV appearance (emphasis mine):

I very simply said that Iran is going to takeover Iraq, and if that’s going to happen,we should just stay there and take the oil. They want the oil, and why should we? We de-neutered Iraq, Iran is going to walk in, take it over, take over the second largest oil fields in the world. That’s going to happen. That would mean that all of those soldiers that have died and been wounded and everything else would have died in vain– and I don’t want that to happen. I want their parents and their families to be proud.

Yes, Trump believes that America should “take Iraq’s oil.””*
