>Hormussy closed>Wall Street expect steep price jump>oil price goes up but not nearly as much as expected>everyone puzzled>turned out China stopped importing oil and started massively drawing down their emergency stockpile>Hormussy now half-open sometimes>oil price starts going up again>China resumed import of oil because their stockpile is too empty now>CCP and Xi timed this so that China would be "forced" to refill stockpile and rapidly drive up global oil price in the three months leading up to the U.S. midterm election>because of the way CCP timed this, the U.S. can't accuse China of market manipulation because China's oil reserves are actually at very low levelsIs this 4D Chess?
>China resumed import of oil because their stockpile is too empty nowStrategic reserves drained lmao
don't they have their own oil in karamay, xinjiang?
>>541227327they haven't tapped their reserves, yet
>>541227433How do you know?

>>541227264>U.S. can't accuse China of market manipulationThat would be the funniest thing, considering how Trump manipulates the same market for half a year and making billions along with his jewish friends.

>>541228117miggers never change, huh.
>>541228348sounds like it lmao
>>541228409miggers, not even once.
>>541227264If China has the foresight to try to time this with US elections, they ought to have the baseline intelligence to understand that whichever party is in power at a given time doesn't have a meaningful impact on imperial foreign policy.
Its china pressuring the USA to run their reserves down to test the 250m line. If they import ten million a day the usa will hit fuel shortages in.. literally two weeks. Would only cost like 8 billion dollars for them
>>541228785It does if trump gets impeached and it will then make the usa kneel like dogs and give up control over both red Sea and hormussy to the toll kings while oil routed for china goes for free
>>541228840I think China's own reserves are out. It's a funny cope that them buying oil is 8d chess to punish the world's largest oil producer, but that's how 提法 works yeah?
>>541228785IMPERIAL FOREIGN POLICY YOU SAY
>Hormussyclosed>Russia's oil exportSanctioned>VenezuelaKidnapped>Worldwide oil pricesFake and gay
>>541227264Probably chinese expected that Iran campaign would be finished by now.And it would. If Israel would agree to terms which USA and Iran negotiated. But for some reason, Bibi were against that peace agreement.
>>541228983China doesnt publish info about their reserves. Any knowledge of them used to come from intern hand counting the overland tank volumes based on dome position. The USA has either no knowledge or half baked knowledge from a chinkcoat regarding the massive salt cavern reserves they have dug
>>541229160>China doesnt publish info about their reservesYeah no shit lmao. Same as their youth unemployment rate right?
>>541228907What happens then? U.S. alliances in East Asia breaks down because it's either side with China or freeze to death for S. Korea and Japan?
>China was single-handedly surpressing rising oil prices by selling cheap out of he goodness of their hearts>Hormussy is sometimes open>China decided buying at record highs because muh politics>no mention of where this oil is coming fromOP is a faggot
>>541227264If China really does this, are we going to get $5-8 gas? $10 Its already at $4...
>>541229221The USA has very good knowledge on their above ground reserves.
>>541227264>Is this 4D Chess?Is China still the industrial hub of the world, producing actual material value?Is the West still the financial hub of the world producing nothing of actual value?One can manage without the other, guess which one.How did the British empire collapse? It was reduced to a financial district. How will the US empire collapse? Hmm....
>>541229151WHAT THE MEMORANDUM OF MISUNDERSTANDINGIT WAS A NONSTARTER IT GRANTED IRANNY OWNERSHIP OF LEBANON AND HAD HORMUZZY TOLLS IN IT TOTALLY NOT ALLOWED
>>541229254China wasnt doing it heartlessly. Their reserves were bought at an average price of 77$ a barrel.
>>541229222China is the world's largest oil and energy importer, and the USA is the world's largest oil and energy producer. So the obvious strategy for China to take is to buy ALL the oil and make the price go up, because that will clearly screw over the world's largest producer and benefit China by spending money buying it. Is this correct?
>>541229273How? CIA spies everywhere in China?
>>541227720Based. Tibet for Tibetans!
>>541229309>$77Are you retarded? China was just selling really low and is now buying really high because reasons?
>>541229075Can’t take a tiny island full of chinks 30 miles off their coastline and 5,000 miles away from the country preventing them from doing so lmfao.
>>541229314U.S. doesn't have a mechanism to distribute extra revenue from high oil prices to the industries and people who are hurting because of energy price increase. It's going to be handful of gigacorps reaping record profits while regular American people suffer just as much as regular people in oil-importing countries.As for Asian allies, the post I was replying to was suggesting the U.S. will just outright lose control of Hormussy, and Iran will only let oil export ships bound for China to leave Hormussy. That means countries that rely on Middle Eastern oil has to go through China as a transit point, giving China control on who gets how much oil and when.
>>541229334What are satellites
>>541229314>buy global oil>oil leaves usa>usa balances it out by release spr>spr runs out>usa cant force companies to sell oil for cheap>mass shortages cripple the USA
>>541229432If China resumes 10 million barrel a day imports, that is 5 million more being drained from the USA reserves. Per day
>>541229595>U.S. doesn't have a mechanism to distribute extra revenue from high oil prices to the industries and people who are hurting because of energy price increaselmao, what the fuck are you talking about zipperhead? there's massive gibs in the US>>541229658how can satellites tell if an oil tank is full or empty?>>541229733Makes perfect sense chang. China will bankrupt the US buy buying all of America's oil and draining us dry! OH MY GOD!
>>541230101>there's massive gibs in the USDoes SNAP increase automatically when gas price goes up?
>>541229794If that was China's sinister plan they would have just bought a shit ton of oil when it was cheap
>>541230142No and thank god for that, right chang? Right?
>>541230101THE TANK LIDS GO UP AND DOWN SOMETIMES WAY UPCHYNA SHOULD GO TO OPEN WAR WITH AMERICA ENOUGH OF THEIR SNAKING AROUND WITH THEIR FANGFANG ESPIONAGE
>>541230101>there's massive gibs in the USnone of which are tied to the for-profit oil industry of the US.some will get gibs in the form of "job creation" while most get assfucked.being a gas station didn't make Russia prosperous and it won't make the US prosperous either. Arguably it made the ME's and some of the other -stans better than zero and you got Norway where they correctly nationalized and put the profits towards their equivalent of social security fund.

>>541230622>none of which are tied to the for-profit oil industry of the USwhy would they be?
>>541230728you're literally retarded. you're the kind of retard who says, "But I ate breakfast" when asked how you'd feel if you didn't.
>>541230774why would gibs be tied to oil prices?
>>541230825it's hard for me to take you seriously when you're this fucking retarded.
>>541229314death to miggers
>>541230867you can't answer the question though
>>541230926it is pretty fucking obvious which is why I'm baffled and refuse to argue with you. legitimately spend more than 10 seconds wondering why gibs might need to go up, by a lot, when one of the most important inputs of an economy nearly doubles in cost.
>>541230996why can't you say if it's obvious?
>>541229595why would anyone want to import anything from another country. bongs eat 80% of all the beans grown in the world and they don't even grow them locally. They pay 10s of billions to India for their beans. breakfast in the UK gives India enough cash to buy several city blocks of houses in the UK 365 days a year. selling your birthright for a plate of lentils sound familiar. never import anything, buy local made, local, grown
>>541230410
>>541227264>steep price jumpits already way over 2€wtf do they want
>>541227264Smart for China to do for them
>>541229075Unironically the Chinese would never do something like that. They just don't have it in them. They're just merchants.
>>541227264>because of the way CCP timed this, the U.S. can't accuse China of market manipulation because China's oil reserves are actually at very low levelsWho cares about what the US accuses China of? China clearly doesn't and neither do our purported allies.
>>541229222That’s happening either way. Kpoops and nips free ride is over. They’ll be swallowed up by China in a few years, economically. No war needed. Trump doing the right thing and pulling out of SK. Let SK deal with the economic giant next door with all their kpoop plastics
