🚨 THE DOMINOES ARE FALLING. IN DAYS, NOT WEEKS. Here is the global oil crisis -- country by country -- as of today:

And so so so many of the US wind and solar projects have been STOPPED by Trump et al.



🚨 THE DOMINOES ARE FALLING. IN DAYS, NOT WEEKS.

Here is the global oil crisis — country by country — as of today:

🇱🇰 Sri Lanka — RATIONING. 4-day work week. Schools closed.
🇵🇰 Pakistan — CRISIS. Overnight price surge. Long queues. 4-day work week.
🇮🇳 India — 9 DAYS of reserves left. Emergency suppliers being hunted.
🇰🇷 South Korea — 50 DAYS left. Clock ticking.
🇯🇵 Japan — LIED. Said 254 days. Actual usable reserves: 95.

🇬🇧 UK — Shell CEO warning: SHORTAGE STARTS IN APRIL.


🇩🇪 Germany — Gas up 30%. EU emergency plan launched.
🇫🇷 France — Paying 30% more at pumps than 8 weeks ago.
🇿🇦 South Africa — Government says "stable." Citizens photograph empty pumps.
🇹🇷 Turkey — Stocks crashed. Inflation exploding. Currency under pressure.
🇧🇷 Brazil — Watching nervously. Own oil helps but supply chains hurting.
🇦🇺 Australia — Tanker delays. Import dependent. Hoping IEA coordination holds.

🇺🇸 USA — Gas taxes suspended in states. SPR drawn down. Iran sanctions quietly paused.

🇨🇳 China — 1.4 BILLION barrels stockpiled. Banned exports. Still getting Iranian oil.

This is DAY 26 of the Hormuz blockade.

20% of global oil — GONE.

8 million barrels per day — GONE.

OPEC's response: +206,000 barrels. That is 2% of the hole.

Here is what nobody is telling you:

They're showing you "reserves are sufficient."

They're NOT showing you Japan overstated reserves by 3x, South Africa has empty pumps, and India has 9 days.

The real energy crisis hasn't even started yet.

what would the price of gasoline and diesel be? No, I don't believe in the Invisible Hand Of The Market.

Krasnov says that he is postponing blowing up nuclear power plants and crude oil drops because the mad man postponed WW III.
