"Biden’s Energy Department in April announced the sale of 950,000 Strategic Petroleum Reserve barrels to Unipec, the trading arm of the China Petrochemical Corporation. That company, which is commonly known as Sinopec, is wholly owned by the Chinese government.”
Sinopec is also tied to Hunter Biden, whose private equity firm, BHR Partners, bought a $1.7 billion stake in the company seven years ago."

A small price to pay to stick it to Putin.

He ain't sticking it to nobody but the American people, the SOR is not the world's reserve. Just one more stupid bullshit decision in a very long list of stupid bullshit decisions aimed at tearing down the country. The dude is a traitor and commie stooge bought and paid for by the CCP.
It was deliberate...they just continue to lie & blame the oil companies for their own actions. I haven't seen this story in the msm other than Fox. Several articles out there about exports being at an all time high. The admin is using the strategic reserves for their own slush fund.
I swear, their schtick is doing evil by way of hiding behind incompetence / stupidity.

This is said to have been announced in April…anyone have a link to the original announcement by chance?

Biden on the other hand is, was and always will be crooked and corrupt as hell.

None of them are but the domestic ones are the only ones that affect my daily life. The only way Russia affects my daily life if they send nukes flying our way. Unless the Russians actively threaten US soil they can do whatever the fvck they want. Invade eastern Europe? Thats a European problem, maybe they should have spent their 2% of GDP on defense instead of green energy and socialism.

We had the right idea under Trump, the way to handle Russia is how we handled them in Syria. "You mind your business and we'll mind ours" and if you try to step on our toes we wipe out 200 Wagner mercs with overwhelming firepower like what Mattis did. Instead the current US regime tries to throw money at the problem and the US citizen is all the worse for it.
He was compromised well before the election. Hold your breath until you see his on CNN.

Except it’s not. Article V gets invoked and even without nukes, you might feel the actual effects of a real war.

If the fraud can be reigned in and the R's win in November, I would LOVE to see that POS Biden impeached. At least in recent years, it has been done for purely partisan political reasons, i.e. not legit. I say we jump on board and make it happen. I don't give a damn about "civility" and REALLY despise the "Moral High Road" pussies who spew crap like "We're better than that." :rolleyes: Skewer them like they do us. Ram it up their arses (though many of their ilk might like it!). Fight their war their way. Time to torch the landscape as we roll them up, although realistically I know it wouldn't be total success......but I'll take whatever little "vengeance" victories I can get.

IT was only when judges and SCOTUS started giving conservative decisions, after decades of collectivist garbage decisions, that the left started talking about how having the courts legislate is not a good idea. LIke OS said, ABNAK is right, its the only way to teach them. Of course, they are now complaining about COmey getting an IRS rectal reaming and how that smells partisan, like going after the TEA party groups wasn't and for craps sake the FBI/CIA/NSA going after TRump for the Dirty Dossier...

The real issue I have is that the Stat Reserve was meant for war time supply, not price economics- like we can't get oil across the Atlantic because of TU-95s and Subs. It isn't to put a drop back into the global market to try to lower prices.
Strategic, not economic reserve. We need it for when we can't get oil, not when we don't like the price....

You want a link on how that decision was immediately reversed? I fully support civilians passing judgement on the military, there’s no reason they shouldn’t be able to voice comments. But you talk a lot of shit for clearly knowing nothing.

Did I say that? You’re straight retarded if you think we’re waging a real war. 5th generation, while absolutely a valid form, is not what most people mean when they say real war. Real war is carpet bombing cities with hundred of bombers while hundreds to thousands of each country’s soldiers die every day and the home front faces SEVERE rationing and labor shortages.
You know, the labor shortages that would put your handicapped ass in a factory to make bombs where you’d eventually lose a hand because you think you’re smarter than the ****ing clockwork machine.

That was me.
We moved six times between 8th and 11th grade. My transcripts were incomplete and my new school wasn't very anxious to cut me any slack.
I scored a 95% on my GED test got my 16 credit hours and went to see my recruiter.
The Marine Recruiter wasn't in and the Army recruiter poached me as I was walking out the door.
Took the test and physical and left for Basic in the morning.
I did manage to complete a College degree in there somewhere, but I loved the Army.

+1. I just got bored with HS and wanted to get on with life. Wanted to go into LE but who hires eighteen year olds for LE?
Less that eighteen months later I was the Security Section Chief in a Hawk Missile Battery in the ROK. I loved the Army until I screwed up and returned to CONUS.
BTW, we’re in the beginning of WW3, that’s why they’re systematically weakening our Military. It’s all part of the plan...

My first assignment was 3rd ID 2/64th Armor in Schwienfurt FRG. A very trusted friend told me that Stateside duty was BS and would make you hate the Army, so I stayed and stayed almost 9 years in that first duty station.
As far as I know I was the youngest M1 Tank Commander in Europe at 20.

I looked for an announcement but wasn't able to find anything other than Biden's announcement that he would be releasing a million barrels a day of the SOR back in March, and several "fact-checking" bits talking about how this will help lower prices because of the global market, yada, yada, yada.

Russia invaded a country and is killing civilians. They're also playing dangerously close to the lines of WWIII. Why wouldn't you be rooting for Ukraine?

I did as well. I thought the ASVAB was easy and my scores resulted in weekly calls from the Navy and Air Force for most of the year. Ended up in an AF ROTC scholarship down the road. I was impressed with myself until I found out that the top 10% of SAT scorers in my school didn't even take the ASVAB.

Im not going to call the kettle black because I supported such a war with Iraq, fool me once and all. The US does not have monopoly on invading countries under false pretenses. Look back at the history dating back to 2008 to the west floating the idea of Ukraine in NATO and then to 2014 Maidan which had 3 letter agencies fingerprints all over that coup then tell me it was only the Russians playing at pushing the world closer to nuclear conflict. Again both sides of the same coin, no good guys, just great power games played at the expense of the common citizen.

We discussed Iraq a little already, I’m not at all saying that was justified. That wasn’t anywhere near concern for the next world war though and I don’t think we came close to the level of disregard for civilian lives that Russia has shown.
I can see the argument for Russia fearing growing NATO but that’s not a justification for this war. Ukraine couldn’t have been admitted into NATO since they last invaded so that wasn’t going to happen here.
I’m not disagreeing with your last sentence. But it being true doesn’t automatically mean that this conflict is irrelevant nor that we shouldn’t be involved to some extent, however minor.

If I remember correctly, I was still drunk from the night before when I took it and my lowest line score was a 113. Scored high enough for any MOS in all branches according to my first PSG and he asked me why I picked infantry lol. Tried going artillery officer route about halfway through my career but had a heart condition that DQed me from it.

I did 7 years as a 13F before picking up my 8 and going back to the infantry. I considered for a brief time of trying to become a Warrant Officer shortly after I got the 8 as the heart issue was resolved but I had a permanent profile which is a no-go.
While I did enjoy being back in the infantry, I think I had the most fun as a FiSTer. The short time I had as an Artillery headquarters company 1SG was a pain dealing with all the non combat MOS people.
