What matters for the price of oil is how much oil there is — not who has it.
“Where it goes is essentially irrelevant,”

Well then, why send it anywhere at all?

Don't forget, China bought the criminal Biden family for a BILLION and a half dollars while “groper” Joe was VP under Obama! FELONIES!

"Crude oil is an international commodity."

That may be a true statement per se, but anyone who claims that the US SPR is an international commodity is a lying piece of filth.

But I agree with them. The greatest outrage should be against the WaPo for covering up obvious corruption.

That any of this oil went to foreign counties is outrageous, but that even a drop went to China is criminal and if Hunter Biden was even remotely involved “President” Biden should be immediately impeached.

All this article does is prove that the MSM is carrying water for Biden. The hilarity of it is that they are too blind to see it, or they don’t care.

“What matters for the price of oil is how much oil there is — not who has it.”

So when Biden cut off Keystone and put greater restrictions on the industry, that doesn’t count?

Why would you even read it or post it? There is a phenomenon in intelligence gathering and reporting that I call “The TMI Effect”. It’s when you get noise injected into your data gathering functions. What that does is muddy the waters to make you less efficient. The Deep State aren’t stupid. My opinion is since they succeeded so well with Nixon, they just have taken everything to the next level. The “MSM” is just a disinfo/psyop.

China is getting beaucoup oil from Russia:

https://www.voanews.com/a/sanctioned-russia-becomes-china-s-main-source-of-oil-customs-data-show-/6630543.html

What are they doing with it all? Filling up their strategic reserve, while we drain ours to the tune of a million barrels per day:

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-05-19/china-in-talks-with-russia-to-buy-oil-for-strategic-reserves

There seems to be a lot of debate about whether Hunter is still involved with Sinopec/Unipec. This is the best rundown I have seen so far, and hope this is thoroughly investigated:

Re: “The Washington Compost fails to mention that the 1 million barrels of oil that Biden sold to China from our Strategic Petroleum Reserve are going straight into China’s Strategic Petroleum Reserve and not into the market.

There will be no impact on pricing as a result.

Secondly, it strengthens China’s ability to withstand sanctions if they invade Taiwan.”


GMTA. I posted my #33 before I saw your post. Yours adds important analysis and bears repeating.

“What matters for the price of oil is how much oil there is — not who has it.”

So, by this logic, it makes no difference if we have all the oil in the world or none at all.

Where does the Washington ComPost get off saying the outrage against the profiteering by Crime Family Biden selling crude oil out of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to the CCP is “misplaced”? The outrage is directed at EXACTLY where it belongs.

Let China get their oil directly from the Russian Federation, which I hear is selling its product at below world market prices.

“ Crude oil is an international commodity. Its price is determined by global supply and demand. The Biden administration is trying to increase the supply of oil to help bring down prices that have soared as the United States and its allies have tried to stem purchases of Russian energy products.”

But they strongly denied this when the oil pipelines were cancelled.
