How does this compute? We are net energy exporter, and energy independent now. President just announced he is releasing oil from out reserves to make up the shortfall. If we are independent, then why would there be a shortfall?

Our oil price is the global price! The net shortfall is global, not domestic. The USA can put additional volumes on the global market, so as to hold the available 'supply' steady.

There could be a 'where available' problem, east coast vs west coast.

It's because we are not energy independent nor do we have the infrastructure in place to be. It would take years to get our infrastructure built back up to where we could be fully energy independent.

Dunno about that. Fuel prices jumped 30 cents per gal. this morning. Trump said he would open the reserves if necessary.

This is the problem with all you Nazitards out there. You actually think Israel is a bigger threat than China. Laughable.

Reg nonnazitard american here. Israel runs our political partys, media, hollywood, and tech companies. It doenst matter how we rank israel in comparison to china. Its a problem. Logically consider who benefited from us invading iraq, and destroying syria(it wasnt us). Consider who would benefit if we attacked Iran. Who is israels great Boogeyman?

Almost impossible make a deal with President Xi.

China Communist Party is sending a message 50% of world is with them.

US and Europe you control the other 50% of the world.

In the past they will not openly challenge your US dollar status but their ambitions are much different now.

Using Hong Kong they have shown interest to buy London Stock Exchange.

It is in USA best interest not to sell it.

No. Everyone is fucked with this act. The whole thing is a M.A.D. Activation Probable.

The multi-system cascading collapse has just now begun. We have three options left: collapse a major system in the cascade path ourselves and direct it away from the rest of the planet; crawl into the biggest-deepest-toughest bunker possible; stick head between legs and kiss ass goodbye. Choose quickly.

Temporary lessening of Saudi Oil production isn't going to trigger world war, you drama queen.

Not that, rather an escalating OPEC War.
