Prewar average was 20 mil barrels per day so even with that effort the world market is still short about 1.5 billion barrels in that timeframe

Think about how much oil it costs to ship this much oil. Not only the fuel of the tankers themselves hauling the oil, which is the baseline, but fuel for aircraft carriers, jets, and all of the other support infrastructure to keep soldiers, ships, and planes in the field. What are we even doing here?

Ha. What a great use of what I think was originally a picture of him having a bunch of xtian dumbasses doing their "laying on of hands" nonsense.
The guy with his third wife, a famous pedophile and sex trafficker as his best friend, and who paid for sex with a porn star while his third wife was pregnant, and who buries his second wife who died under very suspicious circumstances at his golf course (for the tax breaks?)...just like Jesus preached at the Sermon on the Mount, I tell ya.

Passage that would have happened easier, cheaper, and in much greater volume had shit baby not started a war...

With 300 million people in the US that's 2 barrels per person. LOL. Not lol. So like 2 fill-ups worth of gas?
We should be going solar power for everything with battery storage.... But not from nazelon ssusk. There are plenty of other companies with good engineers to get that done.
Na! Instead we're trying to stirr controversy to coverup the Epstein files while assholes get secretly openly rich beyond the reach of the law.
