"If you have to export 1.5 million barrels oil in 5-gallon buckets instead of tankers, because a US Naval blockade has choked off your export capacity, that's 12.6 million Home Depot buckets per day. P.S. For the mullahs: 1 barrel = 42 gallons."

We see where the Regime has trolled the SecDef. Admirable. But let's show them how it's done....

"If you have to export 1.5 million barrels oil in 5-gallon buckets instead of tankers, because a US Naval blockade has choked off your export capacity, that's 12.6 million Home Depot buckets per day.

To assist you in your efforts, here is the link to Home Depot where you can find those buckets for $3.98. There are 17,644 currently available.

P.S. For the mullahs: 1 barrel = 42 gallons."

I also meant to note most of Iran’s borders are with Pakista, Afghanistan and several Soviet bloc countries. This is not a border war.

Home Depot might give Free Shipping on an order of 12,600,000 buckets? Look for a promo discount code...
