Turkey set to receive its first shipment from US emergency oil stash (The political aspect of this)

[Captain Caveman]

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 set to receive its first shipment from US emergency oil stash​

HOUSTON, May 11 (Reuters) - A cargo of crude oil loaded from the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve is heading to Turkey, the first shipment of U.S. emergency ‌reserve oil to the Mediterranean country, ship tracking data showed.

What kind of crude oil, there are different types. That's why the US has to import crude oil for diesel.

So reporting an oil it has sufficient of and not needed is irrelevant.

So details would good.

 

[Dekster]

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.

It is reality. There is no "our oil" on the US market. It has been legally that way since 2015, and mostly that way from the git until the 1970's oil crises. US crude is bought and sold on the international markets. The US contribution is part of a 400 million barrel international effort to lower prices. Sorry you don't want lower prices.

The oil in our SPR is ours. Oil companies didn't give it to us. We paid for it.

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.

I agree with most but it is America first if we pre-emptively stop Iran from eventually attacking us in the future.

No, we don't. That's been the propaganda for the last several decades. The only time Iran has ever been a threat to us is when we're jacking with them. Or helping Israel do it.

If we'd stay out of their business, they wouldn't care about us.

One word. Reality: US now in control of Venezuela's oil reserves, the largest in the world: Chart

VENEZUELA......the nation with the most oil reserves on the planet. Over 303 Billion Barrels, just waiting. The US has the access to drown the middle east in oil without blinking. Unlike the left who forced the US to purchase oil from despots and criminals.......while delivering pallets if cash to the greatest supporter of terrorism on earth "IRAN". 1.7 Billion in cash.

Gas is down 25cents a gallon in my neighborhood. Just where is the 300 dollar a barrel oil?

The lefts plan? Force judges to retire early and replace them with radicals, while they claim Republicans are destroying democracy.

 

[Dekster]

The oil in our SPR is ours. Oil companies didn't give it to us. We paid for it.

The oil is a loan that will be repaid with oil, including extra oil in lieu of interest.

Bamboozled by Trump group open. All MAGA weclome

A loan, my big toe. It's our oil. And we're in a war. And gas prices are high. And it should never go to any other country.

Well, it is and it will be. Better luck next time.
