Another slap in the face to MAGA and America 1st voters. Our Strategic Petroleum Reserves are ours. And are there for times of war or emergencies. We're in a war. And the gas prices are somewhat of an emergency. So what does Trump do?

Turkey is next on the Jew's hit list after they destroy Iran.

Could you imagine what would happen to Is-A-Real-Hell if Turkey, Pakistan, and Iran all decided they'd had enough of that terrorist state? Trump has to bribe Turkey with oil to keep them calm.

By selling off our oil, the supply is reduced while the demand increases. Guess what that will do to prices in the days to come? We haven't seen anything yet. Trump is literally creating the foundation for a true mega-recession or a possible depression.

He's not even selling it to them. This is part of that 172 million barrels he released from the SPR's. It's going to other countries.

Well no. Someone bought it. And they are sending it to Turkey. You’re right though, American consumers are not going to get any relief.

90% of those ships that were coming to the gulf, were regularly scheduled. Whether the war in Iran was going on or not. they were coming to get refined petroleum or other goods. I think the number was something like 25 new ships/tankers. Trump made it sound like that 100+ tankers and ships were coming to buy oil they couldn't get from Iran.

And his loyalist fell for it.

And now it turns out, apparently most of those 25 (new ones) were coming to get free oil from our reserves.

Just another lie.

It appears the geopolitical brilliance that is MAGA has shifted, just a little teeny tiny bit, from "everyone else can go to hell, we don't need you", to "anything Trump does on the planet at any given moment makes America great again, I swear."

This is what it looks like when a serial con man with no principles or core completely fools a big ol' pile of Dunning-Kruger subjects.

The world is not black and white. You don't know what is going on behind the scenes.

I beg to differ. Turkey may very well be needed if we do more things against Iran, which I'm guessing you would be against anyway.

What's really needed.

Cheap gas
No foreign aid.
Reduction in the national debt.
Lower inflation
DOGE. Finding the waste and fraud in government spending
A conservative congress & president to codify those findings
Trade with all willing nations. Alliances with none.

Just to name a few. You know, America 1st kind of stuff.

This is why MAGA and America 1st voters are purging the Trump loyalist. Trump and his worshippers don't care about America as much as they care about Trump. And it shows.

It is part of a coordinated international effort to avoid catastrophic disruptions. Germany, for instance, is reportedly trying to fill as much of the gap as possible in diesel and jet fuels in Europe. Now when all of this is over, I have every expectation that Trump will move to replenish the reserves at lower prices just as he did during his first term after Obama drew them down without replacing the oil. It is one of the few things from Trump I I give him praise for.

It's our oil. We still consume 3 to 4 million barrels per day more than we produce. So we have to import oil to meet our needs. Plus refill our reserves.

And we're in a war.

This can't be sugar coated. And it's not 4D chess.
