Bronco 29,935 Posted October 10 Share Posted October 10 (edited) If the 1mil barrels he bullied europe into releasing haven't moved the dial. 300k from Russia won't move the dial. If anything, its adding to the concerns some in the markets have started to raise that the US oil reserves aren't as healthy as publicly claimed. And that kind of speculation keeps prices up. Beyond that though, curious to see if this actually hits *before* the midterms. The price you pay at the pump is based on the price the oil cost at the time of purchase by the gas station owner. So the current pump price is the oil price from a few weeks ago. So unless this russian oil is ready today and on US soil today. Its cutting it very very fine for it being able to impact prices before Nov 4th. If it arrives at all. The European release has been confirmed to not be a new commitment... Edit* Its a tonne commitment not barrells. And the 300,000 tonnes equates to roughly 2.25mil barrels according to BBC news' expert. The US daily consumption is 3.8 million barrels. So this won't impact prices in the slightest. Its smoke and mirrors. The 500,000 pledged in November again comes to around a single day's worth. So Russia gets sanctions eased till April. And the US is getting effectively nothing in return. Edited October 10 by Bronco The gays know how to party 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DopeEnigma 1,889 Posted October 10 Share Posted October 10 So essentially more Ukrainians will die as a result of this useless, imbecilic douche so he can use a throwaway line on these desperate pathetic rallies to try and prevent the inevitable wipeout at the Midterms. Scumbag, hopefully November is the beginning of the end for this pr***. 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
