Getting rid of the multiple term politicians and liberal ideaology would solve most of the problems in my opinion.

X2!

Just have to shoot a few of you and your entire army gets pulled out by the politicians,lol.

Unfortunately you are probably correct boco. And the enemy knows this.

America,,, North American,central American,,,, and South American has all the o/g we need,,, over here

There’s no need to secure safe passage for vessels that deliver products to enemies of the US,,,, namely China, but there’s others,,, some are friends aswell,,,

What we are witnessing is a battle to keep the usd as the world reserve currency

USD is backed by 11 nuclear powered aircraft carrier strike groups,,, makeing it the dominant force in the world

That dominance must remain to keep USD as the world reserve currency

And its currently in question,,

How it ends remains to be seen,,,,


Myself, I would like to see USD remain the WRC for as long as possible

But at some point in time,,,, it won’t be

SPJ hit nail on head.
All about the petrodollar.
They should go back to made beaver as the reserve currency.
Probably will after the world nuclear conflagration.

… as much as I like you Boco

… if it comes down to it

…. I’ll ride up there with a sawed down piece of 2 3/8 L80 tubing and beat the oil out of ya’ll myself

… you understand me ?

You dont need our oil you got enough hot air in ya to cover the energy needs of your country for a couple decades,

lol

Passed a Shell station today in NC. The posted price for Diesel was $1.40 per gallon higher than regular unleaded.

E85 is about $.60/gal cheaper. My Explorer is equipped to handle E85, but I am reluctant to try it. My Explorer is 10 years old. I wonder where the break-even point is between E10 and E85.

WW 11?!
I musta Rip Van Winkled during the time between WW 3 through WW 11...

I read somewhere the type of gas we run out of first is diesel fuel.

EVERYTHING runs on diesel. Farm equipment, railroads, trains, ships. If you want to be able to buy anything we need diesel.

"Seven Months After Maduro's Fall, Big Oil Still Won't Commit To Venezuela
By ZeroHedge - Aug 03, 2026, 10:00 AM CDT
Seven months after Maduro's removal, Exxon and Chevron still haven't signed major new investment deals in Venezuela.
Venezuela's oil output has climbed to 1.07 million barrels per day, up from 937,000 last year, but remains far below its late-1990s peak.
With majors staying cautious, the Trump administration is leaning on smaller independent producers to move faster and supply capital."

Dirt maybe Venzuela won't turn over the reins to Exron If I remember right Russia would not either maybe 80's and now our many mideast wars brought on by oil "crisis" IMHO big oil while shutting down refineries and little interest in drilling unless the right situations occur buy up oil on the world market thereby controlling the price or does the fact we fight with oil rich countries just a coincidence
