    Was i? I'm not some collective avatar of all the clickbait media. Quote me or forever get bent. Again, i'm not a living avatar of twitter. When it comes parrotting, sod off and go back to regurgitating RT to people on the internet. Also i did notice that while you are trying to make me argue...

    No, OPEC doesn't control the world. Try another one. You brought up the missiles because you had to insert some stupid quip addressing our past, lol. With how many missiles, how many get through, and why are they tolerating such an attrition rate instead of doing real saturation attacks like a...

    I'm not a spirit. It's a larger chunk of Russia's hard currency supply than Russia is of world oil supply, and that's assuming Russia would just completely stop selling, black market or cap compliant, at all. Do they need to like this? Yes, using AShMs and SAMs for ground attack poorly is...

    Oh the irony... This obviously isn't an attempt to lower oil prices through price caps, like commies would do. This is a clear attempt at causing economic damage against said producer, it's not a surprise side effect. Welp, in this case those are options absolutely within limits of...

    Spare the dramatic for someone who cares. You know it's not about that, i know it's not about that, we don't need to bullshit ourselves. Happens any time people haggle at a food market by the way. Find me one country that likes to buy oil for more rather than less, especially outside of the...

    Well, in this case the idea is to make it not work, more or less. It's a compromise between doing nothing and a full ban under threat of secondary sanctions against those who buy it. Which is also the threat for violating this rule by the way. It's basically an attempt to create an anti-OPEC, a...

    Which is an outright third world flex. Check out the price of gasoline in Venezuela... Everyone who thinks otherwise is welcome to abandon the "collapsing" West and go live there.

    But we are in fact trying to find out the outlier, the "best case scenario" where a government agency has big, generously equipped storage facilities with a quality control lab and all imaginable tools to make the fuel last a long time. We aren't trying to find an average between that and "some...

    So it is possible, but it takes "rigorous steps on fuel preventive maintenance". Stop spinning quotes like a maniac. What this means is that if you are a random farmer with a fuel tank behind the barn, or a dude with a couple barrels of diesel in his basement, that's not gonna work out. But if...

    Very lowballed ones. https://www.bellperformance.com/bell-performs-blog/how-long-does-diesel-fuel-last-in-a-storage-tank When you have hundreds of thousands of tons of fuel to store, barrels of additives, and a chemical lab to regularly test quality, 5 years or more is definitely feasible.

    Oil reserves. Military vehicles outside of few old warships and trains can't run on crude, it needs refining first.

    So consumed, produced\processed\shipped in total (which would include waste), or just for shipping it? :D If you are going to sling figures like that you need to make up your mind as to what these figures are supposed to be for. Guess i'm disrupting your DOOM! circlejerk, sorry but not sorry.

    Funny, from sticking to your idiotic statement that it takes 10:1 calories to ship food, you have backtracked that it takes that much to produce, process, store *and* ship the food :D And even that figure, considering that it's not referring to specific foods, is most likely skewed by luxury...

    That's a very unspecific statement that can be interpreted in at least 2 ways more likely to be correct than the interpretation you took out of it. With the lack of caveats given, he could mean anything really. Transportation? Not "transportation of food" nor "transportation in agriculture"...
