I thought the draw down of the strategic oil reserves was to keep the price of gas down leading up to the election.
It could be possible that they know they cannot win the election. Even with lower gas prices. so maybe that is not the reason.
They are setting up for right after the election. They are draining the reserves. We are running out of diesel. Without diesel everything comes to a halt. Will there be a railroad strike at a time when trucks can't get diesel?
Also are they going to try and start a war with Russia when our country will be hard pressed to secure enough oil for everyday use and war operations?
Things can go ballistic quickly.
And when winter is setting in?
already here in southern AZ (mountains). overnight freezes have begun
Snow here already and frost and freeze nearly every night. Its balmy today in SE Lower Michigan but last week we had three hours of moderate snow. The NW Lower got a foot plus and 10 miles inland from Lake Superior, south of Marquette, got 2 feet.
