Small potatoes

Reporter: If this is not a war, what exactly is it?

Trump: I call it a military conflict because it's small potatoes for us. It's not a big thing. We did Venezuela. And we did this .... We're taking out a lot of oil. We control the Hormuz Strait and we control it very strongly .... What we've done is amazing.

Eighteen US service members died. And of course many more people have died if you count all the Iranian civilians. How many more lives will be spent taking oil from others?
