You just grab the oil and carry it back.
You'd better believe I'm a bitter Bernie Sanders supporter. The Dems fucked up and fucked up hard. Hopefully they'll learn that neoliberalism and maintaining the status quo isn't the way to win this election or any other one. I doubt they will, though.

It's true. The oil is their main source of income. Without cash, ISIS cannot operate.

Saudi Arabia is IS' main source of income.

Would that have really been that surprising in the '70s?

Not particularly, but it was still illegal, and, more importantly, racist.

You can't "take the oil."


You can take the reserves and bomb the infrastructure.

There is an out of control trolley speeding towards Jeremy Bentham, who is tied to the track. You can pull the lever to cause the trolley to switch tracks, but on the other track is Immanuel Kant. Bentham is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Critique of Pure Reason. Kant is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Principles of Moral Legislation. Both men are shouting at you that they have recently started to reconsider their ethical stances.

Well that's a rather good choice and policy structure.
