Wouldn't taking a country's oil after a war, be a war crime? Looting and pillaging

are war crimes. I would refer the ineffective Matt Lauer, Trumpy, and Trumpy's mouth-breathing followers to the Fourth Geneva Convention of 1949 and the Hague Conventions of 1899 and 1907 (modified in 1954).

That should have led to a followup one would think. "Mr. Trump, are you suggesting the United States should commit war crimes?"
