How close are we to WWIII?

Reported that Trump said early the Straight was not an issue since the war would be over quick.

Ryan states that Chevron said oil will be $150-60 per barrel in a couple weeks. A lot of this one covers Rubio and Cuba.

I LOL at this post.

Reported in the video above Rubio is being questioned on attending a party with Trump in Miami while Vance was in Pakistan doing negotiations.

Just sit back and relax, it will all work out well in the end. --DJT

Apparently the literal meaning of sit back and relax and have a party.

Reminds me of Katrina and Dubya flying over but no boots on the ground at that time. Condi buying shoes at Ferragamo's, or playing tennis with Monica Seles. The director at a five star restaurant while his aid is sleeping on concrete. Not a good look LOL. Such confidence in our current administration.

Google....

The U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) holds roughly 357 million barrels of crude oil. This represents about half of its 714-million-barrel authorized storage capacity, with levels near their lowest points since the early 1980s following drawdowns to counter energy shocks.

The Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) is a federally-owned, emergency stockpile of crude oil meant to mitigate global supply shocks, whereas Total Oil Reserves refer to the nation's total underground deposits of extractable oil. The SPR is a short-term geopolitical buffer, while total reserves represent long-term domestic assets.


Our total reserves is 46 billion barrels estimated. How long that takes to extract I dunno.

Robert Pape says the same thing about oil. Trump and Netanayahu are pushing the world economy to the precipise of a global depression. Trump is moving more troops into the area which can only signal a pending invasion of Iran. Furthermore, Iran has acquired nuclear weapons and they will demonstrate that it has nuclear weapons with an underground explosion in the near future. China is supplying Iran air defensive systems as well as other weapons.

If the US invades, Iran will close access to the Red Sea which further restricts energy and other product flow out of the region. Trump and Netanyahu are pushing the world into a world depression because both of them cannot accept the fact that Iran has become the new 4th world power.

Trump has turned the taps on of the reserves over a month ago and its rapidly depleting. Pape and Wilkerson both have confirmed this.

Believe I heard McGregor say Trump sold I dunno 17 million barrels of our own oil cheap to keep inflation down. Can't confirm it but wouldn't surprise me

Macgregor says thw the reserves will be depleted by August.

The US is the largest producer and exporter globally, being concerned over reserves is null.

You are so out of touch with reality, its scarey.

 

[GO-NAD!]

The US is the largest producer and exporter globally, being concerned over reserves is null.

At current production rates, proven - recoverable - reserves will last 9 - 10 years. That doesn't mean more oil won't be found, or that technology won't be developed to enable extraction of currently unrecoverable reserves. Regardless, seizing control of Venezuela's oil industry must go a long way to assuaging any concerns over access to crude oil.

Is that why the national reserve is being used up?

I like McGregor a lot, very knowledgeable, but he comes across to me as an isolationist. I don't think we can just get up and leave everywhere. Also it's the third straight month of 100k job growth. The economy has been quite resilient. For now. Though it begs what type of jobs are being created? I'd like to get some economists take with future forecasts. As GO-NAD! stated with the Venezuelan oil, will that be the US's buffer? It makes me wonder if Venezuela was for Iran?

Bolton says Israel should bomb Hezbollah even harder. If Hezbollah is weakened, Iran is also weakend says Bolton. I'm concerned though because his position is wars are lost because we didn't have the determination to follow through. I'm not sure wars are really ever finished though. You run out of money, or the economy, or the people get tired of their kids being brought home in bags..... Vietnam? I remember one person saying they supported continuing that war, but it had been 10 years. We were "winning" the war according to them, but we needed more time. The Democrats were interfering in finishing the job.

Israel hasn't been able to destroy Hamas more than 3.5 years after invading Gaza. Bolton thinks it would go better against Hezbollah? Meanwhile, Israel is incinerating its image on the world stage. Even if they completely destroyed Hezbollah, removing that distraction from Israel's laundry list of problems, Iran's stranglehold on the Strait of Hormuz remains their ace in the hole. Trump lost his little mind on Netanyahu for escalating attacks on Lebanon, because it is interfering with obtaining a peace deal with Iran. Yeah, I don't put much stock in what Bolton has to say.

As for Vietnam, I'm not sure how the Democrats interfered with finishing the job. It would have required an invasion of North Vietnam in order to defeat them. Can you imagine what the US casualty numbers would have resulted from that? That's without any intervention by China and/or the Soviet Union. The interference I recall was from the Nixon campaign conspiring to sabotage peace talks to help their 1968 election prospects.

I meant some on the right would say the Democrats interfered with finishing the job in Vietnam.

Bolton I believe said if 50 of the 69 missile sites were dug out by Iran, we should go back and bomb again. Uh has the man considered the cost of the war and whether or not that's feasible?
