US OIL PRODUCTION RAMPING UP, TEXAS LEADING THE WAY.

“The total rig count increased to 728 this week—273 rigs higher than the rig count this time in 2021 and the highest count since March 2020. Drilling has picked up substantially since the Russian invasion of Ukraine, adding 78 rigs.”

Hitler also understood that with things like Lend Lease and Flying Tigers that we were already at war with the Axis; there was nothing neutral about the Japanese oil embargo or arming the UK to the teeth.

I live within a couple of miles of two sites that were targeted by saboteurs before our entrance into WWI because we were violating our neutrality then as well; the Black Tom Island explosion in Jersey City NJ in 1916 and the Canadian Car and Foundry fire in Lyndhurst NJ in early 1917 were caused by people upset that we were arming the UK despite our alleged neutrality - while we abided by the UK’s blockade of Germany.

You cite oil production increases, so I asked (Canada has nothing to do with this question)

“In 2021, two major gas pipeline projects, the Permian Highway and Whistler projects, came online to increase takeaway capacity from the Permian Basin by roughly a quarter”

Capacity from the Permian Basin (where the major ramp is occuring) is not a problem. Try something else.

That is just going to send them running to join.

Turkey has put a stop to this; neither Finland nor Sweden will be joining NATO.

What nobody in Finland appears to have thought through is, once they decided to play hardball with Russia (by expressing an interest in joining NATO), what was to stop Russia from playing hardball with Finland?

If they were dumb enough to take our lead, then they haven't read up on history.

Turkey does not have the power to stop it.

You might want to tell Finland that; you'd be saving them a lot of hard work in their efforts to reach out to Turkey.
