Subject: Re: The US used its own 'Dark Fleet'

Trump disclosed the operation earlier Wednesday during remarks to reporters in the Oval Office. The president credited the clandestine oil flows from keeping prices from surging higher.

First point: Trump is epically delusional.

Second point: for the sake of argument, let's say they have been doing this, instead of holding prices in check with large releases from crude reserves (net sifter says 66M barrels withdrawn). What the heck is the dipspit blabbing about it for? Trying to impress everyone with how miraculously brilliant he is?

Third point: average oil volume through the strait, before the war, was 20-21Mbpd. So, over several weeks, Trump the Conqueror claims to have sneaked 5 days worth of oil out, assuming he isn't simply blowing smoke, like the two months of "peace in three days" declarations.
