The US strategic oil reserve has decreased to a record level in 30 years – Rossiyskaya Gazeta

The reduction in supply began a little over a year ago, when the owner of the White House needed fuel to reduce prices at the pump. “They (the authorities) needed to survive the election cycle. Not even a hurricane or a major military conflict,” said Tim Stewart, president of the association.

According to him, the fuel crisis threatens the country’s strategic and national security. It will take a long time to refill the storage facilities. Heavy oil is required. And in the US now it is mainly produced light and low sulfur. Therefore, oil will have to be purchased abroad.

Previously, American journalists found out that the Pentagon purchases Russian oil through Greek ports.
