Kuala Lampur, May 16 -- Trump isn't exactly the kind of guy you picture reading Sun Tzu over a glass of Cabernet. He's more likely to eat his steak well-done with ketchup while telling you why the Mona Lisa is overrated. But sometimes, even a bull in a china shop finds the door, and when it comes to Syria, Trump might've just stumbled into the geopolitical masterstroke of the decade.

Because, somehow, the guy who tweeted through his presidency managed to get out of Syria - and still control the oil, dominate the shipping lanes, and box in Iran without firing a bullet. It's like the geopolitical equivalent of winning a bar fight while still holding your beer.

The oil heist - you don't have to own it to control it

Syria isn't exactly sit...
