At this point in the Biden Presidency, it had not hit the peak.
trump has had 400 million barrels in strategic reserves released to postpone the peak. Reserves run out. We will see where the peak is this Summer or later.
That was on cities. It is much harder to carpet bomb 600,000 square miles.
It is a fact that whenever a ship tries to transit the Strait without Iran's permission they are warned off with artillery shells. It is kind of tough to shoot artillery shells without artillery.
Beyond that, trump is currently striking artillery, rockets, and drones... So not all blown up.
Then why can't ships leave the Persian Gulf without Iran's permission?
Hey Wally, first of all you're reading fake news like always. Trump did not release 400 million barrels. That would be hard to do when Biden left us with 394 million barrels, right? I got to say, I'm getting really sick of educated morons that can do it for themselves preventing yourselves from being embarrassed every single time you open your mouths.
Let's look at the facts:
- When Biden took office (January 2021): 638 million barrels
- Lowest point (mid-2023): Around 370 million barrels
- Net drawdown: Roughly 268 million barrels at the bottom.
Why? Biden’s policies played a huge role in the high prices. Canceling Keystone XL, pausing new federal leasing, heavy regulation on drilling, and general hostility to US oil production. This kept US output from growing fast enough to offset the little, by comparison shock to oil prices when Putin decided it was time now that autopen was in charge. So...what happened next, when a competent administration took over again?
- Biden left the SPR at 394 million barrels.
- Trump added back 47 million → 441 million barrels.
- Trump released 172 million → 441 - 172 = 269 million barrels. We could discuss the reasons for both Presidents actions if you'd like.
Where did Wally get his fake news?? Who knows, but it's clear he just repeats it like always. He simply accepted a fantasy some idiot wrote or said on The View and parroted 400 barrels!!
Then it's 'why can't the tankers leave yet?? Not sure if he thinks I've said we did carpet bomb 600 square miles or if he read between the lines that don't exist. There are many reasons that we could only speculate about without the knowledge that's not available to either of us, or the fake news. If you'd really like for me to give you some, I'd be happy to. I assume you're not capable to thinking of any all by yourself and since your puppet master's haven't given you any talking points to explain those reasons, you're lost, out of luck, stuck until a libtard 'expert' tells you. Just ask, and I'll help.
The other dumbass parts of your comment like those pictures show cities destroyed, not 600 square miles. Hilarious, This idiot thinks we couldn't flatten 600 square miles if needed. Why? Well, I guess he's flailing or isn't aware of the size and scope of our destructive power, who knows how presumably 'educated' people become babbling idiots. I have plenty of opinions, but I'll leave that for another day.
The point Wally? We can do whatever is necessary up to and including flattening 600 square miles leaving nothing by insects living if needed. Of course, we would not need to carpet bomb as we did thousands of square miles in WWII. We have much better intel and targeting these days.
