The US Strategic Petroleum Reserve, a backup supply meant to insulate the US economy from external shocks, is at its lowest level since 1983, thanks to the external shock of convicted felon President Trump’s attack on Iran, CNN reports. Oh and it’s still being depleted as last week alone 8.9 million barrels were released by the Trump Regime, leaving it at 340.3 million barrels.
“For decades our Country’s very important Strategic Oil Reserves were low or virtually empty in that no President wanted to pay the price of filling them up. I filled them up three years ago, right to the top, when oil prices were very low. Those reserves are meant to be used for serious emergencies, like war, and nothing else. Now I understand that Joe Biden will be announcing an ‘attack’ on the newly brimming Strategic Oil Reserves so that he could get the close to record-setting high oil prices artificially lowered. We were energy independent one year ago, now we are at the mercy of OPEC, gasoline is selling for $7 in parts of California, going up all over the Country, and they are taking oil from our Strategic Reserves. Is this any way to run a Country?” wrote Trump in 2021.
