Ukraine - Doomsday

[naomi 356]

It's painfully embarrassing that people don't understand the nature of the war that's actually happening. It's a stealth class war (against personal sovereignty; these people are absolutely utilitarian) on a global level.

There are pragmatic reasons for transitioning our current economic paradigm, and then if you're sociopathic (4% of the population; and there's reason for the smart and ambitious ones to be at the top), there are no moral/empathy reasons against it. We haven't been on a sustainable course, and those who have been enjoying the ultimate level of power want to control the transition, instead of losing their power in an organic collapse. 

It's just painfully embarrassing how effective the veneer of authenticity/authority is when things are filtered out to the masses through the media. 

The framing the vast majority of us believe is lies.

The heart of the demolition starts when the United States is *neutralized. When it will no longer matter if the people here start to "get it",  because we've been decimated enough. 

*It's not because we're so great, we're just the best candidate to actually be a threat because of our (old) national mentality and resources.

Big whoopee do. This isn't water or medicine. It's junk food.

McDonald's will continue to pay the 62,000 employees it has there.

That's a great public-relations move for McDonald's.

It served millions of people daily there, so it's taking a financial hit while not punishing their Russian workers.

Coca Cola and Pepsi have followed suit.

PepsiCo, whose colas were one of the few Western products allowed in the Soviet Union prior to its collapse, said it would continue to sell daily essentials, such as milk and other dairy offerings, baby formula and baby food, in Russia.

One thing I wonder if the oil and gas people can offer some information on.  We currently take 65% of the oil extracted in Iraq.  We also occupy oilfields in neighboring Syria, where Trump famously told us all that he took the oil.  What percentage of US domestic usage does this oil from Iraq and Syria account for?  Does the US gov't. sell this oil on the open market or directly to refiners?  What happens to the money; does it go into the US general treasury or is this diverted to the CIA to do stuff like overthrowing governments, or both?

Does not exactly shed light on my question.  65% of Iraq's oil extracted in a year is classified as an import?  And that equals 3% of our oil imports?  Or does the US buy an additional 3% from Iraq and not count the oil it directly takes?  That's not clear from this link.  No information whatsoever on the Syrian oil.

So clearly what we learned here, we should take over Canada. With global warming, that place gets more and more attractive.

We should take Mexico as well.  We would could save a lot of money on wall building expenses.

It's a direct answer to your question "What percentage of US domestic usage does this oil from Iraq and Syria account for?"

Of all the US crude oil imported, 3% is from Iraq.  Syria is 0%.

The United States imported about 7.86 MMb/d of petroleum in 2020, which included 5.88 MMb/d of crude oil and 1.98 MMb/d of noncrude petroleum liquids and refined petroleum products.

Syria

https://www.eia.gov/todayinenergy/detail.php?id=3110# 

Recent political unrest in Syria and the indiscriminate use of deadly force against dissent by the Syrian government has prompted further U.S. sanctions, including a ban on the import of crude oil or petroleum products of Syrian origins. On September 2, 2011, the EU, whose members purchase over 90% of Syrian oil, announced a ban on imports of Syrian crude oil, which may further hinder Syrian efforts to expand their petroleum industry.

Syria has opened its offshore territory for development; however, this region is expected to contain mostly natural gas. The Syrian Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources and General Establishment of Geology and Mineral Resources has also opened up bidding for shale oil deposits containing an estimated 285 billion barrels of oil. This new exploration, plus rehabilitation of current oil fields, may help counter the current decline in petroleum production.

Although Syria is not a major producer of oil and gas, it occupies a strategic location in terms of prospective energy transit routes and regional security. EIA's Country Analysis Brief on Syria features additional analysis on these trends, along with a broad discussion of Syria's energy sector.

No it doesn't state usage.  It states percentages of US crude oil imports.  Still does not address my question as to whether this is additional we buy from Iraq (a true import) or the 65% we just take and don't pay them for.

Thanks for this report from 2011.  Here's a much more recent one:

https://www.militarytimes.com/news/pentagon-congress/2021/05/27/biden-ending-trump-ok-for-us-oil-company-in-syria-says-official/

I don't buy for one second that our troops are not guarding some Syrian oilfields and that another company has been inserted in place of the one Trump granted a waiver to.

Blah blah blah. Rusty Pimpadoosh assured us all it’s just supply and demand. Now that the demand is up, we just have to get the supply up. Easy enough.

That is a meaningless figure. What was their profit margin compared to other industries? 

Yes it is super important when it comes to oil prices for us to know how much net income the soft drink industry had.

[Hardcore troubadour 15,517]

CNN claimed they interviewed people and they said they don’t mind paying high gas prices if it hurts Putin. They didn’t show any of the people who allegedly said that. Rusty must be camera shy.
